Client Testimonials
"The College of William and Mary implemented Acceptiva as a way to offer our
donors a convenient way to give online with their credit cards. We needed a
system that could conform to our many requests and requirements and still be
user friendly to our donors. Acceptiva was able to accommodate that need!"
"From our perspective, this has been one of the most beneficial products we
have ever used. Our kick off for this system was of all times, the end of
the calendar year, one of our very busiest times for donations! The system
worked fantastic and the help we received being "newbie's" was outstanding.
Literally anytime day or night, our calls are picked up and our questions
answered."
"The continued communication for enhancements and additions is
equally amazing. This system has proven to be a huge advantage to our
donors and to us with the ease of use and the dynamite reporting
opportunities available. Acceptiva has been a great choice and we are very
happy to be working with them!"

"Acceptiva seriously has one of the best customer service departments I have ever
encountered. The attention to detail and their speed is amazing. The flexibility of having multiple customized
pages is extremely valuable with so many ministries needing different
forms simultaneously. You will not find a better solution than Acceptiva."
_ Ryan McCormick
Media Services Director
"Saved By God's Grace is a grass-roots ministry to the children of Kenya. We work hands-on in Kenya so we out of the United States
many months out of the year. Acceptiva allows us to be out of the country and have our supporters simply use their system to fund
the ministry even when we are not here. The ease and flexibility of set-up, accepting contributions, transferring of donations
directly to our checking account and sending an automated receipt to our donors has made it a perfect solution to our ministry needs."
"We have used Acceptiva in many different applications. We currently have "pages" set up to support each orphanage we service,
sponsor individual children and give access to our donors for fundraisers as they occur. The flexibility of the format is
wonderful and it allows us to change pages as our ministry evolves."
"Since starting with Acceptiva in 2007 we have not had even one issue or complaint from a donor. In addition, we have
always had prompt, courteous service from the staff and they have always worked with us to make our interaction with
our donors a pleasant experience."
"We look forward to continuing our relationship with Acceptiva long into the future and I would highly recommend
Acceptiva for any non-profit looking for a holistic and flexible donation acceptance system."
_ Charles McDonald
Executive Director
Saved By God's Grace
"We have been using Acceptiva for several months now, and we usually have
several different payment pages up and running at any given time. We have
pages for dinner reservations, educational programs, donations, and payments
on members' accounts. We have two schools here and they both use Acceptiva
as well."
"We appreciate Acceptiva's amazing customer service and quick turn-around. We
literally have had every page built within 24 hours, and usually sooner than
that. Whenever we've called them, they have been friendly, courteous, and
have answered our questions or solved our problems quickly."
"In short, we're very happy!"

"Junior Achievement of Dallas has conducted multiple online campaigns,
including our annual bowl-a-thon event, annual golf tournament and Hall
of Fame event, using the Acceptiva service. It has made our online giving customer experience much easier. We are very pleased with the
custom designed pages, online reporting and excellent customer service.
We are extremely impressed with Acceptiva's response times and attention to detail. They have
worked with us to make our experience as simple as possible and we hope to continue our relationship with Acceptiva for many years to come."
_ Marsha Dean

"We've been using Acceptiva since January 2007, and have found their
performance and customer service to be outstanding. After getting our
input on what we wanted, they did the complete web setup - and the funds
go straight into the temple bank account. We're using them to process
dues payments, capital campaign contributions, tribute contributions,
and payments for events. Acceptiva also allows us to process
transactions manually for those who might want to provide information in
person or over the phone."

"Habitat for Humanity of East King County has been using Acceptiva’s
online payment and registration services for the past year for our
fundraising events. The Acceptiva team has been open and adaptable to
suggestions and requests for making the online customer experience as
personal to Habitat’s mission as possible. We have used the online
pages for event registrations, corporate sponsorships, individual
donations, and team sponsorships for events such as fun runs, golf
tournaments and auctions. The reporting tools combined with our merchant
account make bookkeeping a breeze on our end, and the auto-generated
receipts make bookkeeping a breeze for our donors! The ease of use for
accepting online donations has made Acceptiva the preferred choice for
our clients."

"I would like to express my great appreciation to the Acceptiva team for
their outstanding service and efficiency. Within a very limited time we were able to choose the right product
and set up the online donation page just two weeks before our largest annual televised fundraiser - Thanksgiving
Day Telethon. Without their ongoing support before, during and after the Telethon, we couldn't make the Telethon
the success it was. For small or midsize non-profits such as Armenia Fund USA, Acceptiva is an ideal
and most cost effective solution. Thank you Acceptiva! "
_Irina Lazarian
Armenia Fund USA
"Acceptiva is a great solution for us. We are a small non-profit organization
with very little technical web development expertise. The Acceptiva service is easy to implement with fees
that are simple to understand. Our customized payments page links right from our own website just like an
in-house e-commerce solution; no hassle and simple for donors to interact with. The virtual terminal
allows us to manually enter payments received in person or in the mail and have all of our transactions
consolidated in the Acceptiva Client Manager reporting. "
_ Gregory Malcolm, Executive Director
Encompass
"Acceptiva's service is exactly what we were looking for online donations and membership. It
was so quick and easy to implement that it was almost unbelievable. Everyone we have worked with at Acceptiva
has been incredibly responsive and helpful. It's a dream service for nonprofits on a budget."
_Connie DeWitt, Marketing Director San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles
"St. Stephen's Episcopal Church used to take credit cards from their members and input the
information by hand each month! CRAZY. When I started helping that department streamline I could see that we needed
to give our members another way of making a gift to the church. At first our focus was on the monthly pledge but as we
looked into the idea of taking credit cards it became clear that we might as well give our members the opportunity to give
towards their pledge along with other areas to support the church. We shopped around by contacting other churches to find
out who the used, if they were happy and how they implemented it on their website. It became clear that Acceptiva was the
one to look into with more detail. THEN, we made the call to customer service and I was sold. Let me say I am someone who
does her homework and that the customer service piece is very important."
"In putting together our 'page' Acceptiva was more than patient with me changing my mind a few times!
The staff was very helpful to make an easy to use streamline page that our members could use. Once we knew we wanted to go with
Acceptiva, it was just a few days before we were 'online'. Most of our members go to the eGiving page on our website and give
but we also have the option of setting them up ourselves if they don't have a computer or they just need a little help. Security
was a concern of the church as we wanted our members to feel comfortable. We had our Technology people review the set up and we
were giving the green light to move forward. We are glad we did."
"We had our big Outreach Event in October 2008 using Acceptiva on laptops for people to check
out at the end of the evening. It was a huge success with NO credit card work to do the next day. We were able to run a report
that evening to see how much St. Stephen's was going to be able to give to others in 2008. We have a vacation Bible School each
summer and that will be our next adventure to use Acceptiva. I am sure the parents will be thrilled with this option to
make their payment."

"When our Foundation found the need for an online method to accept credit card payments for our
charitable activities, we did our homework and chose Acceptiva. Since that time, we have worked together extremely well and
created a number of payment pages for each of our varied projects."
"Many of our projects include a "silent auction" component. We struggled to come
up with an idea how we could make this process less painful. The Acceptiva staff reached out to me and offered to
create a special page that was within the Acceptiva Client Manager, thus giving us more flexibility than we have
ever had; they made great suggestions and within the hour we had a fully functioning web page that
we could accept payment for multiple itemized purchases at the same time."
"This incredible service is typical of what we receive from Acceptiva. Their staff returns my communications quickly and
makes requested changes as if they were working on their own charity and the cost is very reasonable. I highly recommend
Acceptiva to anyone looking for an easy to use, cost effective web-based credit card solution."
_Steve Ditmars
President
Long Beach Junior Chamber of Commerce Charitable Foundation
"Pueblo a Pueblo has multiple "campaigns" and we had only a vague idea of how
we could manage these accounts. The setup, guided by Acceptiva personnel, was rapid, understandable and flexible.
They even made helpful suggestions regarding our website, based upon their experience. One of the things that
impressed me was that Acceptiva personnel worked within our timeframe and spoke straightforward "English" -
working through some of the complex issues of pulling together a clear and coordinated message to our donors.
Once up and running, Acceptiva personnel remained available to refine the pages even further. The system is
straightforward, understandable and on the few occasions when we have had a question - there is a live,
responsive and knowledgeable Acceptiva staff ready to help."
"I have already heard from several of our donors that they are pleased with
the ease with which they can now make credit card donations to Pueblo a Pueblo. Internally, Acceptiva has
cut our administrative overhead by greatly reducing the time it takes to manage small donations - thank you
letters, recurring donations and data management. And online donations have increased dramatically. The
benefits to us have gone far beyond our expectations and allow us to concentrate on cultivation of donors,
rather than data management. Acceptiva has both simplified my hectic life and opened doors to donors."
_Kenneth Wood, Executive Director Pueblo a Pueblo Inc.
"Colorado Art Ranch did extensive research to find a way to take payments online.
We were looking for something secure, easy to use, and comfortable for our constituency. We looked at thirty different
companies. We chose Acceptiva for their honesty and willingness to work on improvement. In the three years we've been with them we
have never had a glitch, never had a slow response, never had a problem of any sort. "
"The entire Acceptiva staff have been responsive to our every whim. The
capabilities of the software have increased greatly (faster than I can keep up with).
I have suggested Acceptiva to several other EO's and will continue to do so."

Executive Director
