“I tried all charity / donation plugins on wordpress and I have to admit that Charitable is the best of all!!!”
Lauren Haas
“We’ve tried some of the other donation management systems, but they were way too expensive and, as a small org, we didn’t need all the features we were paying for. Charitable Pro is just right for us. Everything works so well right out of the box, integrates perfectly with our WordPress site, and is so user friendly. Also, support is responsive & effective.”
“I’ve tried the few other fundraising plugin possibilities out there and was disappointed or just plain frustrated. But WP Charitable just works. Beautiful front end design, easy to customize, and logically structured.”
