Review: Arreva Featured

Review: Arreva John Barkiple

Arreva,  a fundraising and donor management solution recently announced the integration of Text2Fund®, text-based, mobile donation software and SMS Text Messaging. The new integration will enable nonprofits to further engage with their donor base.

In Use:

The Text2Fund® integration is just one of many tools that Arreva provides their customers. Other incentives include campaign management, mobile donations, website development, and analytics. By adding Text2Fund to their portfolio, Arreva, an All-in-One, Digital Fundraising, Donor Relationship Management, and Auction Software “further eliminating the need for nonprofit organizations to use multiple, individual siloed solutions and databases.”

Arreva’s pricing begins at $189 per month but new and small nonprofits could qualify for their donation program. To learn more about whether or not your charity would qualify CLICK HERE.

The basic package is ExceedFurther Fundamentals for the first 1,000 records. With this subscription, organizations have access to unlimited gifts and pledges, donation webpages, recurring donations, reporting, and various integrations.

The ExceedFurther Professional package begins at $329 per month for the first 1,000 records. Charities have access to all of the perks of the Fundamentals package as well as a few more integrations and the ability to access two of the following modules – Events; Campaigns, Members, Volunteers & Grants.

For large nonprofits – there is an Enterprise version that allows access to all of Arreva’s features.

Technology Used:

Arreva integrations include Quickbooks, Constant Contact, Double the Donation, Mail Chimp and Donor Search.

Arreva technology lives on the cloud so nonprofits can access the platform wherever they are. Donors can access Areeva’s mobile donation and Text2Fund® features which will allow them to donate to a nonprofit from anywhere using their laptop or mobile device.  

Ease of Use:

Many customers have found Arreva to be user-friendly while others had difficulty navigating the platform. With many nonprofits employing volunteers - the learning curve can be difficult with any software. A subscription to Arreva allows nonprofits both email and phone support as well as DNS set up.

Recap:

"There are a lot of great platforms out there, but not one other platform that brings it all together, through an all-in-one solution like we do,” David Blyer, Co-founder, CEO, and President of Arreva states. Arreva has numerous modules available to nonprofits including guest registration, recurring gifts, online pledges, and customizable report with hundreds of filters and options.

Advantages:

  • Donation Program which allows new and small nonprofits to take advantage of Arreva
  • Numerous modules in one platform – allowing nonprofits to save time and money by only logging into one platform
  • Mobile friendly website development

Disadvantages:

  • Only a few available integrations
  • Nonprofits cannot access the entire Arreva platform unless they opt into the Enterprise package
  • Reporting can be cumbersome

My Opinion

If you’re looking for an all-in-on solution, I would recommend looking into Arreva. They offer an impressive amount of tools and features for nonprofits and charities. I especially like their mobile- friendly website development tool. With many donors opting to donate on their phone– having a mobile-friendly website is important.

In the future I would like to see more available integrations. Integrations are important and can be a make-or-break for a nonprofit.
