What nonprofits say after switching.

Each review below is from a current customer, captured with their explicit permission, and dated. We refresh quotes annually so what you read here is what these organizations would say today.

  • Synagogues
    April 2026
    “We spent two months evaluating Bloomerang and Little Green Light before someone in our regional shul listserv mentioned DonorForge. The High Holiday seating tool alone would have justified the switch. Pledge tracking with bill-pay reminders has cut our outstanding pledge balance by about 40% since June.”
    Aharon Levin, Executive Director
    Beth Shalom Synagogue, Northeast US
  • Animal rescues
    March 2026
    “Our previous setup was PayPal donations, a Mailchimp list, and a Google Sheet. We migrated to DonorForge in a single weekend. Sponsor-a-pet recurring donations are up 3x because the donor self-management portal works the way donors actually expect.”
    Marcus Chen, Founder
    Oak Ridge Animal Rescue
  • Synagogues
    April 2026
    “Year-end statements used to take our bookkeeper a full week of CSV juggling between the giving platform and QuickBooks. With DonorForge it took two hours, including the family rollups for HHD pledges. We will not be going back.”
    Yaakov Stern, Treasurer
    Kehillas Yisroel, Lakewood NJ
  • Schools
    April 2026
    “Three previous CRMs tried to sell us "alumni cohorts" as an add-on module. DonorForge ships it on the entry plan. Our parent-giving rollups by current grade now match what our development chair has been hand-building in a spreadsheet for six years.”
    Yosef Greenwald, Director of Advancement
    Mercaz Day School
  • Food banks
    March 2026
    “We juggle three audiences: monetary donors, in-kind donors, and volunteers. The same grocery store used to get three thank-you letters from three different staff members. Putting them all on one record cleaned that up the first week.”
    Robert Okonkwo, Operations Manager
    Harvest Table Food Pantry
  • Arts organizations
    April 2026
    “Our box office could never tell us which subscribers were also donors. DonorForge stitched the records together on import and surfaced about 60 high-value patrons we had been treating as just ticket buyers. Two of them have since written four-figure checks.”
    Thomas Whitfield, Development Director
    Lakeshore Arts Center
  • Small nonprofits
    April 2026
    “I am a one-person development team. The legacy CRMs all seemed designed for a five-person office. DonorForge is the first system that did not assume I had a data administrator on staff. I set it up in an afternoon.”
    Nathan Wells, Executive Director
    Bridge Houston
