    Kindful is well suited when:
    • Important to integrate with a wide range of systems such as online fundraising tools or event registration without being tied to a single vendor
    • Small to medium sized organizations looking for an affordable but powerful donor database/CRM
    • Need a powerful but user friendly tool with customizable reports
    Kindful is not well suited when:
    • You need very advanced customization such as the ability to built entire custom screens
    • You need to track donations in multiple currencies

    Pros

    • We particularly love the flexibility of Kindful's donation pages and donation plug-ins. They make it possible for us to accept donations on our website, without having donors have to leave the website.
    • Kindful effectively streamlines back-office functions including acknowledgements for gifts - which saves our small 2-person team vital hours each week.
    • Kindful integrates to a variety of valuable platforms, allowing us to manage all of our data in one place. Currently, we integrate with MailChimp [so all email recipients are segmented in Kindful, emails are sent from MailChimp], Fundraising Report Card, and several custom integrations through Kindful's open API [including one that tracks volunteer events and another that connects to CauseVox].
    • Kindful's basic metrics and "dashboard" give us instant access to live fundraising results that are shown against historical information - giving us the ability to see how we're doing at all times.

    Because of the easy-to-use drag-and-drop function, teams do not have to call website design-proficient professionals to assist them since Populr also supports collaboration and entire teams can work together to come up with a beautifully designed website and one that is readable.

    • Kindful's customer service team has saved us a lot of time and effort by being extremely helpful. I can't speak highly enough about the customer service they offer.
    • We spend a lot of time cleaning our data base. I wish Kindful had a cleaner integration process.
