Rally Around Rallybound for Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our development department uses Neon Fundraise (formerly Rallybound) for general donations and for our walk platform. Neon Fundraise (formerly Rallybound) processes general donations that come in over our website. It has a wider role within our Walk program. Walkers can sign up and customize their own walk site within Neon Fundraise (formerly Rallybound). We also process all walk-related giving through Neon Fundraise (formerly Rallybound), including running reports. It integrates with our CRM and allows us to track new involvement.
Pros
- Reports are easy to access and easy to run.
- We like that it gives walkers latitude to customize their walker site.
- It is better than our previous service (Convio) at giving local managers access to fix errors in the system on behalf of individual walkers (e.g., wrong address or team name).
Cons
- It should be easier to find the admin sign-in.
- The reports' UI could be streamlined. I usually have to turn certain filters off that should be off by default.
- I would like to see a little more customizability of the website.
Likelihood to Recommend
Neon Fundraise (formerly Rallybound) is well suited to third-party fundraising. We use it for our walk fundraiser, and we enjoy the level of interactivity and customization it offers our constituents. It also makes donation entry and reporting fairly easy, so it would be well suited for operations with vast numbers of donations in cash, check, and credit. It might be less suited to events with a handful of large donations from corporate benefactors.
