"We have had great success using the Kintera Thon software for our Walk for Kids these last three years. We have seen consistent growth in the amount of money raised each year. With Kintera’s help, we have gone from raising a little over $19,000 to surpassing our 2006 goal of $100,000."
"Our board members and many of our corporate teams find the Kintera software a huge help. Each team member has been able to quickly upload their address books into the system and, within about ten minutes, send out hundreds of emails soliciting gifts from their friends, family and co-workers. In 2006, one team raised over $35,000 – easily surpassing their goal of $30,000!"

"As we have completed our first annual update to our Tee Off For Tots golf tournament website. I wanted to take a moment to thank you, your design team, sales staff and the rest of the Kintera group for all of your help."
"From the inception of the sales process in agreeing to terms and conditions to the design and completion of the website the process has be an example of patience, cooperation and prompt product delivery regardless of the obstacles encountered at any level. It did not stop here. When we were ready to make updates and changes to the site a year later as we prepare for our upcoming tournament our requested changes and updates were once again met with immediate results for a totally updated site without interruption! "
"The timely delivery of such quality has enabled our organization to improve the total efficiency of managing this tournament to effectively communicating the details of our efforts through a very professional and impressive online presence. Through this site we have exponentially increased our public reach and visibility. We have received many positive comments and bottom line results. The site has enabled us to leverage our relations with beneficiaries and sponsors to provide more opportunities for all parties involved in strengthening their cause. This has materialized in more contributions translating into a significant increase in the amount of funds that we were able to raise to make our community a better place!"

The Jewish Big Brother Big Sister Association of Cleveland
"On behalf of The Jewish Big Brother Big Sister Association of Cleveland, I would recommend Kintera to organizations as a tool for online fundraising."
"We utilized the 'thon' for our 2004 Bowl For Kids’ Sake (bowl-a-than). As an affiliate of National BBBS, our cost was very reasonable. In addition, there were many templates in place for us. As a result of this streamlined process, we were able to set up our "thon" quickly and easily. We signed a contract with Kintera only 8 weeks prior to our event. The toolbox and on-line tutorials were helpful. Peter Oh, our Project Manager was always available to answer questions and support our online fundraising process. "
"Kintera's software made our administrative tasks easier including, registration, bulk e-mails and thank you letters. It made the "ask" much easier for individuals that are not comfortable soliciting. The personal web page made the ask fun. The competitive nature of the scrolling top fundraisers was very motivating for some. The on-line software allowed for funds to be raised outside of the local community. Moreover, we now have a solid database including the e-mail address of each past participant and donor to support our 2005 event. "

Nonprofit Resource Center of Texas
"The Nonprofit Resource Center of Texas is a 30 year old management support organization involved with nonprofits throughout the state in all forms of nonprofit management, from incorporation to securing funding to board development. Having expanded during the 90's into having a strong web presence, when the time came to migrate from our former provider, finding a new provider with the proper platform and tools was a critical issue for us. Kintera proved to be a fabulous platform which has allowed us not only to maintain, but actually expand our services to clients through integrated email campaigns, managing our own website internally, creative and flexible e-commerce options and tying it all together through the Sphere contact database. As never before, we are able to provide personal service to clients, track their needs and even plan for products and services based on their feedback and trends. We can do all of this using Kintera and do not need to outsource. The tools are user-friendly, intuitive and powerful. Moving to Kintera has been one of the best decisions that the Nonprofit Resource Center of Texas has made."

Maryland Food Bank
"Our November-December online giving doubled this year over last. We began working with Kintera only recently, but we're experiencing a dramatic upswing in online giving that we know is due, at least in part, to a far easier donation process and donation form, as well easier navigation within our website."
