## Reviews

### "Church Donations" — 5.0/5

> **John** | *10 May 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Product simplified our donation record keeping\!
> 
> **Cons**: Limited report options. Could use PDF options

-----

### "Easy to use donation software," — 5.0/5

> **Bryan** | *16 April 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very easy to set up a Donor's list.  I like the way you can make a correction to the contribution received if you make an error.
> 
> **Cons**: I send out quartly statements to our members and I find this is a bit complex, but maybe just a change for me.
> 
> I only take care of the donations part of our church and I find this program is very easy to use,  I did not want a program that deals with the finances operation of the church.

### "Donarius Review May 2019" — 3.0/5

> **Marion** | *10 May 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It provides a easy way to track charitable donations and provide receipts at year end.
> 
> **Cons**: Some items are difficult to find the answer to.
> 
> Not sure if this is a Donarius issue or not.  The weekly teller sheet is put in a Dropbox at the Church and more often than not is does not come  through to the Dropbox on my computer.  Sometimes the solution is finding it in Dropbox apart from Donarius on my computer and then it will show up in order to import in Donarius.&#10;I also have a problem with monthly PAC donations.  I have a recent new PAC and can't get it to add to the list without entering it each month.

### "Excellent Membership & Donor Program" — 5.0/5

> **Shirley** | *04 February 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Donarius meets all of my needs. As an organization which already has a well designed website and social media program we were not looking for an all encompassing program that most member management programs promote. I wanted a flexible program that would allow me to manage both our membership information and donor information. I also wanted a program that could be housed on a computer, not in the cloud on some else’s site. Plus, the data and information can backed up on an external drive and used in another location.&#10;Donarius is exactly that. I have been able to create every category I need for my organization, every donation level, every way to sort AND I do not have to be a software designer to understand and use the program.&#10;I literally searched for six months trying to find a software program that was easy to use, would not cost a fortune, could be locally stored, and handle all of our needs. PLUS, I was able to download and use for 30 days to see if it fit my needs before buying.
> 
> **Cons**: So far, I have not found anything that is a con with this program.
> 
> This program is meeting all of my expectations and then some. Customer service has always been fast to answer any questions I have had and with specific instructions to answer a question on process. If you are someone looking for an easy to use but very powerful software system to maintain your membership and donor information, and communicate easily by mail or email, this is a great choice.

### "Does a great job for the price" — 4.0/5

> **David** | *01 January 2012*
> 
> **Pros**: For years I kept track of contributions the same way as with the rest of our church finances... with Quicken.  As our church grew that became less and less satisfactory and I looked for a separate program to track contributions.  Mostly what I found were online services, which I wasn't interested in due to ongoing cost and requiring our money counters to have immediate and reliable access to a computer AND internet... which wasn't convenient in our situation.  And the few standalone programs I found had not been updated for sometime.  &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Then I found Donarious.  The price is quite reasonable, email queries are answered promptly, and it is fairly easy to use.  It is amazing that at this price they offer not only a 1 year warranty, but offer to customize the program for your needs during that period\!&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;It has saved me a lot of time, especially when generating receipts, which with my old system was labor intensive.  Give it a try\!
> 
> **Cons**: It has just a "name" field instead of separate fields for last name and first name.  If all your donors have names like John Smith, then that is fine, but in our multi-cultural society, that causes complications.  And it won't tolerate quotes in the names, so you can't get around it that way.  The best solution I found, which is satisfactory, is to enter the names in LAST, FIRST format.&#10;&#10;At least in the version I have, the pre-made receipts and some reports have a spot for a "check \#", which is fine if you use that, but I don't take the time to enter it.  Unfortunately, those pre-made receipts and reports then show "check \#?" in each entry, which is kind of crude.  No one sees the reports but me and I use custom receipts so it hasn't been an issue for me.
> 
> Nothing I looked at when I purchased this in early 2010 came close to Donarious for meeting my needs... and the price is great\! &#10;&#10;I highly recommend getting the optional module for customizing receipts.  It is helpful if you have a little backround in software code or HTML writing (or have access to such a person) to create the receipt templates, but it is fairly flexible and I was able to come up with something I like.  Once that is done, you don't have to revisit that issue again unless you change your mind about how you want it to look.  During that first year, I believe they'll give you one free customized receipt done for you. &#10;&#10;I tried the "relationships and families" option and didn't ultimately find it useful for our purposes.  Your mileage may vary.  Thus far, I haven't had any need for the other modules.  I haven't used the email features yet, but I anticipate doing so in the future.  Trying any or all of the optional modules is free and buying them is pretty cheap.
