### "Harness provides core community engagement" — 5.0/5

> **Cole** | *21 September 2023* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Having reactive content for people's contributions is important for helping show our gratitude. Implementing Harness on our website was extremely straightforward and has helped us with our outreach.
> 
> **Cons**: Not being able to import donor history from other donation management software to help make the transition feel less like a new chapter.
> 
> We are pleasantly surprised by how simple and useful Harness is for engaging our community donors. We value the ability to message them, use media to present our programs to them, and give them a better window into our operations so they feel that their donations are having an impact.

### "Harness is a great tool for Non-Profits" — 4.0/5

> **Ej** | *3 February 2023* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about the software is the ability to provide the text-to-give option, campaigns, and round-ups for our constituents.  Our donors have several ways to make a donation.   I like being able to text our donors directly through the app.
> 
> **Cons**: An actual Peer-to-peer aspect would be nice to have integrated.
> 
> Overall, I think Harness is great and I referred the software to several of my colleagues in the fundraising business.  It's an overall great tool to have.

### "Pays for Itself" — 5.0/5

> **Nikie** | *5 April 2023* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The donor interface is incredibly designed and user-friendly. The elegance of integrations and presentation makes it look like we have a dedicated team of professionals running our digital marketing, but it's just Harness and our office staff. Harness has allowed us to spontaneously capture donors through dedicated campaigns, as well as social media and website platforms. Further, as a community intermediary, we have been able to nimbly launch various cause campaigns with professionalism and speed.
> 
> **Cons**: There is nothing I dislike. Everything is functional and continually improving.
> 
> I have been nothing but impressed from the first  sales call. The reps have been helpful and just perfectly responsive. Initial integrations were fantastic, with one-page explanations to kickoff particular aspects of the platform. I know that if I need help with any campaign, technical issue, or fundraising need, I can call the Harness team and schedule a support meeting that surpasses the standard.
