Kindful is a breath of fresh air in comparison

"Overall, it feels like a modern, easy-to-use tool. I previously used Blackbaud products, which were a giant headache (and they make you buy all their associated products to use), and this is a breath of fresh air in comparison."

All in one, All accessible wherever you are!

"We like that we can have all of our donor information, history, notes, contact information etc. all in one place and all accessible wherever we are. The custom branding gives our donors assurance that they are still donating with us, even when they conclude their donation through the Kindful interface."

I never loved a CRM until now

"Kindful has eliminated so much manual labor and annoying work we used to have to do. At first glance, Kindful [appears] pricier than some of its competitors, but when you consider how well it works, how many products you're actually getting, and the fact there's no additional fees, it's worth every penny."
