About

Grants in a spreadsheet. Volunteers in your inbox. Donor notes in someone's head. You are not disorganized. Your tools are. Ember puts the whole job in one place: programs, volunteers, grants, donors, budget, staff hours, board packets, compliance dates, and a free public page. The apps share one record, so your numbers move on their own. Hours you log against a program show up in the grant report. Your board packet builds itself from work you already did. You never type the same number twice. Turn on only the apps you need. Your price is set by your annual budget, not by how many donors or users you add. Under $50K a year, Ember is free, with no credit card and no trial clock. Above that, a flat monthly rate by budget band. Every tier includes every app and unlimited users, with no per-seat fees. Your data is yours to export. Made for nonprofits like yours: grassroots groups, all-volunteer teams, fiscally sponsored projects, and founders still getting set up.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It was fairly easy to switch from our previous CRM database that we were unhappy with. This software has given us the ability to communicate effectively with our donors, keep track of sponsorship pledges, and track our yearly fundraising goals. All of this has been easy to customize to our organization and add the custom fields that pertain to us. I also like that they are continually taking feature requests and bug fixes from the end-users and making regular releases with these new features and fixes. Our sponsorship coordinator has expressed to me how much she likes it and how convenient the mobile app is for looking up our donor's information.
  • I've used Keela for years now and have gotten to see the platform grow tremendously. My favorite thing about Keela is that they are always gathering feedback from users and making feature updates and improvements that users request! I've also always had a great experience with their support team. I use Keela every day as part of my role, and I really appreciate the ease of the system as we track all of our fundraising efforts.
  • The customer service at Keela is phenomenal. I get my questions answered within an hour or less, despite the time difference. The support function is also excellent, with well produced videos and easy to follow instructions. I have also attended several webinars which helped me to raise more money. The free membership in Next After is a terrific bonus. There are other features that I haven't yet explored but am eager to do so.
  • Some greats: 1. The support for the product is better than most: great documentation and staff is quick to respond. 2. UI/UX is simple making it easy to find what you are looking for. 3. Form creation is very easy and requires very little in terms of technical support for most use cases
  • The ease of use, quick setup, integrations and platform scalability. The platform is excellent and intuitive.

Cons

  • To be fair, it's hard to be a "one size fits all" for any product, so of course there could be things that could be enhanced or added. For us, I would like to see when a pledge payment is past due and be able to create a segment or report that could show who is behind and by how much. The nice thing though about the Keela team, is they REALLY listen when you have a particular need like I just mentioned, and they provide an Ideas Portal for just that!
  • There are some features that aren't as built out as I would like or require an upgrade to access. For example, I've wanted the ability to automate specific email series for awhile now, and while Keela did launch a new automation feature, it is not included in our current subscription. I understand that this is common for software systems, however, and we do have the ability to work around it.
  • I wish there was a way to integrate my Stripe fees into Keela so that I can easily deduct my service charges each month. I also wish I could make certain changes to the donor form template -- there isn't enough flexibility to alter the first page that a donor sees. The tax receipt for monthly donors is clunky and there should be a way to put all the information on one page with one receipt number as other databases do.
  • Like any product it needs growth. - 3rd-party analytics support for example is still pretty limited. Example: Google Analytics is - also very limited on styling options for embedded forms; adding custom CSS would be a nice feature.
  • Pricing tiers could be a little more generous however what's cheap these days.
