FundRaiser Family vs Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud

FundRaiser Family is donor management software for nonprofits to track supporters and gifts, manage campaigns and communicate with donors. FundRaiser Spark includes unlimited donor records, gift tracking, membership management, donor groupings and reports. The Donor Portal accepts one-time and recurring donations through an organization’s website and automatically enters those gifts into FundRaiser. An API can control the donation page, and another API can connect web services to FundRaiser data. Online and installed versions are available. Installed editions are Windows desktop applications; the maker says hosted and online versions work with any operating system and most mobile devices. Select offers optional QuickBooks integration for locally installed versions, as well as Wintix and Tixsales integration for theater organizations. Access is password-protected, with about 100 per-user access control points. The maker describes database-engine encryption for files containing payment details, plus additional encryption for sensitive data. There is no free plan, but a 30-day free trial includes all features in evaluation copies. Online plans range from $69 a month for Spark to $349 a month for Professional.

Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is a web-based platform that brings nonprofit funding, program delivery, and impact measurement together. Fundraising tools cover donor profiles, reusable audience segments, gift entry, and management of commitments, designations, soft credits, and tributes. Volunteer management includes events, roles, shifts, locations, attendance, applications, and engagement history, with self-service sign-up through Experience Cloud. Program features track enrollment, attendance, services, and benefits; outcome tools let organizations set targets, record results, and collect assessment data. Grantmaking covers publishing funding opportunities, collaborating on proposals, awarding grants, and managing budgets and disbursements. Accounting Subledger consolidates Salesforce CRM data with an organization's accounting system. Named connections include Salesforce products such as Marketing Cloud, Data 360, Slack, and OmniStudio, plus partner apps including Classy, DonorDrive, WealthEngine, and AmpImpact. Eligible nonprofits can receive 10 free licenses through the Power of Us Program. Paid pricing is listed from $60/user/mo (annual), with a 30-day trial. Salesforce says per-user products require an annual contract and listed prices are informational and subject to change.
