Overview

About Donarius

Donarius is a church management software solution available for on-premise deployment that serves both churches and other non-profit organizations. Donarius lets users keep track of members, contributions, pledges and more. Users can enter all offerings and donations by name or envelope number and they can track loose offerings as well. The solution offers envelope printing, so churches can print their own offering envelopes rather than ordering them. Donarius can send monthly and yearly statements out to members or donors and it can generate various types of reports. Users can personalize letters, emails and text messages to help engage members. A module for pre-authorized donations (ACH) automatically enters recurring donations. Donarius also includes a module for membership management and users can print a photo directory. This system is priced per organization in perpetuity, plus yearly upgrade costs.

Donarius Was a Game Changer For Us

Donarius helped us move beyond Excel spreadsheets, greatly simplifying our bookkeeping processes, giving us greater accuracy and helping us generate EOY reports effortlessly.

What they liked
  • Donarius is super easy to setup and use
  • As with any new software, there is a learning curve, but it isn't long
  • My wife does our bookkeeping and she had no trouble at all getting used to the software and learning the ins and outs of it
Room for improvement
  • My least favorite aspect of Donarius initially was the very basic user interface
  • It isn't pretty
  • But the functionality overcomes that part
  • After all, it's what it does that matters, not just how it looks

Simple and easy to use, great support

The ease of use every week with absolutely no frustration gives a peace of mind that is hugely valuable.

What they liked
  • What I like most about Donarius is its simplicity and ease of use
  • Prior to finding Donarius, we had a church finances program that was very expensive, and tech support was outrageous
  • Tech support comes with the purchase of the Donarius software, no extra charge
  • I can enter each week's giving in just a few minutes, post to each individual's account, and produce a weekly report with ease
  • Also, generating year-end giving statements is as easy as the click of a button
  • If I need an interim report on an individual's giving or a summary of some kind, tech support is quickly available if I need help
  • I recommend Donarius highly
Room for improvement
  • In the years I have been using Donarius, there has been no negative
  • experience

Donarius for Dummies

Wonderful once I learned how to navigate it. I am not especially technically skilled and the instructions are quite clear.

What they liked

I love the "cross-checking" reminders - the little reminders of what you have previously entered or done so that you get a chance to catch yourself in an error entry or to go ahead if the entry is correct

Room for improvement

Sometimes it is a bit painstaking to find the Help item in the index if you do not know what to call it

Donarius may be just right for you.

Donarius offers a wide-range of features but it does all come with a cost.

What they liked
  • Donarius offers a wide-range of interface-ability
  • It works with more church management programs than I can list here
  • One of the best features it has is the ability to print a fabulous color directory
  • No need to pay an arm and a leg for a nice color photo directory
Room for improvement
  • Like most church management programs, it can be expensive, especially for smaller struggling church communities
  • Yet the need to manage your church remains, and the costs go up
Why they chose it

"The church I work for had been in the market for some time and chose to give Donarius a test drive."

Small church usage

The benefits of this program are great. I can create from the main page individual reports, groups, by amounts, specific time periods, it is a great program.

What they liked
  • There are many things I like about this program
  • It is very easy to use, entering names and address, entering contributions
  • It is a really good program
  • Get any type of report of want
  • And the tax letter is customizable and easier to use than using QuickBooks
Room for improvement
  • The only thing I wish I could do is the ability to arrange donation page
  • It works fine the way it is but I would like to rearrange the layout
Switched From

Donarius had a very good rating and less expensive. It is also a much simpler program to use. A bonus is it could be downloaded to the computer rather than only in the cloud.

Review of Donarius

We use the Donarius system to keep track of our church tithes and offerings. It is simple to use and just what we needed for our small church. I have recommended this product to other organizations.

What they liked
  • Ease of use and very affordable
  • It suits our needs very well
Room for improvement

A little more flexibility with reports, but normally fine for our small church use

Why they chose it

"Donarius was much easier to implement for what we wanted. We do the accounting and bookkeeping on Quickbooks for the church."

Easy to use donation software,

I only take care of the donations part of our church and I find this program is very easy to use, I did not want a program that deals with the finances operation of the church.

What they liked
  • It is very easy to set up a Donor's list
  • I like the way you can make a correction to the contribution received if you make an error
Room for improvement

I send out quartly statements to our members and I find this is a bit complex, but maybe just a change for me

Works well for what it is

Overall, it's a good software for a smaller church and at a great price tag. I would recommend it for someone who doesn't mind an older user interface and who is willing to do a bit of digging when looking for certain information regarding donations.

What they liked
  • The software is simple and effectively tracks donations
  • You can get various information regarding donations, tracking and giving intervals
  • It produces good year end receipts
  • It's easy to back up to ensure that you don't lose your data
  • It's a great price for a smaller church
Room for improvement
  • It's a bit clunky and the user interface is outdated
  • It's not always easy or straightforward to get the information you're looking for
  • It certainly does the job and is great for a small church, but larger churches would find it difficult, in my opinion
Why they chose it

"It was already being used by the church I pastor and the person who served as the treasurer did not want to change software."

Easy to use, Powerful and Great Customer Service

My church has been using Donarius for years. It is easy to use and when you need help, you are assured of excellent customer service!! I love the Import function - with just a click, you can move donation information into Donarius with no errors.

What they liked
  • User friendly, ease of importing donations
Room for improvement
  • No visual images to go with the Help texts
  • Sometimes, pictures are worth a thousand words
