*Numbers are taken from the NTEN & Idealware “Detailed Review of Low Cost Donor Management Systems.” NTEN had this to say about Sumac: While many systems have moved to navigation schemes built around complex menu systems, Sumac pointedly bucks this trend and embraces simplicity... This straight-forward approach carries through most areas of the system’s basic functions like working with donors and gifts, setting pledges, online donations, and setting up one-off “thank-you” letters; all of which Sumac handles competently. |
