NGP VAN - 2025 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

What is NGP VAN?

NGP VAN is a political campaign software designed to help labor unions and democratic committees raise funds and generate reports in accordance with compliance protocols. It offers a custom call sheet builder that enables administrators to create various call sheet templates and record details regarding communication with donors.

Managers can automatically reconcile contributions processed via credit card, facilitate returns and voids, and track donors’ giving history on a unified interface. NGP VAN allows supervisors to visualize data across donor prospecting spreadsheets and share fundraising data with colleagues. Teams can also integrate the system with Facebook to select target audiences and organize marketing campaigns.

NGP VAN offers a predictive dialer functionality, which lets businesses schedule calls and contact multiple voters. Operators can also create responsive sign-up and donation pages and track customer engagement levels across multiple channels in a centralized dashboard.

Pros

“It gives me great comfort to know that they are there and accessible.”

Ace A.

Candidate

“The cut turf feature is fun and cool and the integration with MiniVan is seamless.”

Chuck H.

Candidate

“Overall, it's a good program. With more and more options coming to market, I'm hoping VAN and it's newer competitors work on creating user-friendly, intuitive features.”

Kassie B.

Organizer

Cons

“The interface is unintuitive and slow, the data is often out of date, and repeat processes are tedious, lead to errors, and borderline infuriating.”

Verified reviewer

Anonymity request

“Mini-VAN has trouble with the map function, suddenly all the voters residences often disappear from the map. This happens at least 3 times during a 2 hour canvass.”

“Customer support blames the state regulatory authority, while offering no solutions or even a timeline for expected solutions. We're approaching the start of the third month of this frustration.”
