Since switching from a commercial accounting package to FastFund, I’ve found FastFund extremely useful and easy to get the data needed for government reporting. In addition, the product support that Araize provides is outstanding. You can put me in the very satisfied customer category.

Robert E. Brown, Caring & Sharing, Center for Independent Living

After reviewing several fund accounting software applications, I decided on FastFund. The software was less costly than all the others and performed much better. FastFund is easier to use than the previous system I used and provides much better reporting options. At the end of the accounting year, I am able to print all the reports our auditors need and reduce time spent answering their questions. The most important aspect of choosing a software package is the support. Araize’s support has always been timely and the few problems I have encountered have been solved promptly.

I am a CPA with 19 years experience and have developed a practice concentrating on delivering accounting and tax services to small nonprofit organizations. Finding FastFund was a God send in that it provided me an inexpensive and easy-to-use accounting system that is designed to fulfill the specific needs of those organizations. The bottom line is FastFund is a nonprofit software package that costs far less than its competition, is easier to use, easier to train and easier to maintain. I will continue to use and recommend FastFund with all due enthusiasm in the future.

Kenton Kelly, CPA, Group NP Accountancy

I have been very pleased with the FastFund Nonprofit Software. The software is extremely easy to understand and use and is very affordable compared to other software packages that have similar features. It meets all our needs for accounting for multiple government grants and provides necessary accounting records to meet the requirements for a Single Audit.

Because of FastFund, we are now able to conduct all our fund-based accounting duties across ten programs. We can get the financial reports required by our numerous funding sources instantly, and in the required format for each source. In addition, FastFund Raising allows us to manipulate our donor database by donor attribute, and we get detailed reports by attribute, appeal, type of campaign and or source of funds as well as many other types of reports.

Patricia Sharp, Administrator - Caring for Children

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for your FastFund Nonprofit Software. We have been using FastFund Accounting, FastFund Raising and FastFund Payroll for over five years and have had no problems. Prior to using FastFund we were using a competitor’s product and found it difficult to comprehend and expensive to maintain. Araize converted our data and we’ve been extremely happy with the results. Your software support has always been a pleasure. There is always a knowledgeable, friendly person to answer our questions. I have recommended your fine product to other nonprofits and would do so again without hesitation.

Terri McCloy, Development Services Coordinator
West Virginia Independent Colleges and Universities

I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to Araize for the quality services you have provided to our organization over the past seven years. My experience with Araize and FastFund Raising and Accounting has been a positive one from the very start. The program and service your company offers compares very favorably with programs we investigated costing in excess of $25,000. I am always happy to recommend FastFund to potential new customers as I believe that your program and services are the most effective and economical answer to the big-name, high cost nonprofit accounting and fund raising programs.

Mary Joyce Griffin, Administrative Officer
International Rett Syndrome Research Foundation

I have worked in the nonprofit sector for over 13 years, and have seen the industry struggle with growing pains to become more responsible and sustainable. Finally, with products like FastFund, charitable organizations have reasonably priced and usable tools to establish processes and procedures to meet the basic fiduciary and business system requirements long accepted as commonplace in the for profit sector. Several years ago I sought out a number of fund raising software companies to find products that would be effective helping my clients and the nonprofits in my community move to the next stage of fund raising expertise. Among the myriad of offerings, I specifically selected FastFund for its versatility, its user friendly functionality and Araize’s commitment to affordability. FastFund Raising not only tracks data, but serves as the primary tool for teaching my clients about best fund raising structures and responsible stewardship opportunities. I will continue, with confidence to utilize FastFund Raising as one my company’s primary offerings to nonprofits.

I am a CPA in the State of Pennsylvania and have been the Director of Finance for a nonprofit foundation for the last eight years. I have used FastFund Accounting, Fund Raising and Payroll for the last eleven years for four different foundations with annual budgets varying in size from $50,000 to $6,000,000. I have evaluated other fund accounting software in the same price range and in higher price ranges. I consider FastFund to be the best in its price range.

Don Uber, CPA

I would like to take the time to thank you for the FastFund Accounting software. My staff has adapted well to the new system in a short period of time. They are still commenting on how user friendly it is. Your software has brought our organization out of the Dark Ages into the 21st Century. I am impressed with the response time for technical assistance calls and the expertise we receive when calls are placed. I still receive inquiries from other councils of governments and nonprofit agencies as to our accounting software and I am proud to recommend FastFund.

Dennis Wilde, Executive Director, Nortex Regional Planning Commission

We have been using FastFund since 2002 and we are very pleased with the software and its versatility. We not only produce the reports needed for accounting, we can product the much needed reports from the fund raising module that is fully integrated with the accounting software. Our personal experience with support issues has been above satisfactory and I would highly recommend Araize and its product line.

Valerie Scaggs, Business Administrator, Reach for Youth

Mid-Valley Recovery services has been using the FastFund software since 1999. Prior to that, I used three different types of software. I can honestly say, FastFund is the most user-friendly. It is easy to understand and when I did need help, my calls for technical assistance were outstanding. Our staff is very pleased with its ease of use and technical assistance provided by Araize. Further, our CEO is pleased with the reports produced. They’re easy to read and fill the needs of our nonprofit organization.
