Pros

“Almabase allowed our school to create an alumni portal to reconnect with our alumni which is allowing us to reconnect them with the school as mentors, donors, and more.”

Teressa C.

“Almabase has a 10/10 customer service team that guided us from A to Z in setting up our new alumni portal and continues to schedule follow-up meetings with us on a routine basis to assist in learning more capabilities and functionalities of Almabase to better meet our needs.”

Teressa C.

“The Data inbox is a powerful solution for alumni offices, designed to streamline data verification and ensure accurate, up-to-date information is consistently synchronized with your CRM.”

Jim M.

Director of Data

Pros

“It is a comprehensive and powerful CRM that supports sophisticated fundraising operations well, particularly for organizations with large donor databases and complex reporting needs.”

Emily D.

Director of Philanthropy

“The dashboard and portfolio management tools make it easy for staff to track donor activity, manage moves, and make meaningful progress in guiding donors through the cultivation journey.”

Emily D.

Director of Philanthropy

“Having donor information, interactions, giving history, and reporting all in one place creates a much more streamlined workflow across teams.”

Emily D.

Director of Philanthropy

Cons

“Mobile app functionality is limited compared to the desktop experience”

Simon O.

Creative marketing intern

“Sometimes updates have bugs that take a bit to work out.”

Jen M.

Advancement Specialist

Cons

“What they don't explain very well is that the web-based view of the database only allows for minimal functions that database users are used to, and that the old database-view would still be necessary to do important tasks, such as running detailed reports, use Online-Express, batch gift entry, etc.”

Beverly S.

Development Coordinator

“Reporting: While the data is deep, pulling a simple, clean report for a board meeting is surprisingly difficult without exporting everything to Excel first.”

Amy J.

Donor Engagement Officer

“When you make the migration, not all the data is migrated correctly, and for a lot of things you need to be doing in the database view and others are only possible on the webview.”

Elias F.

Donor relations and Database coordinator
