David Elliott, Chief Executive of [Trees For Cities](http://www.treesforcities.org/),
explained why they chose Donorfy:

 

> “Having [an integrated CRM and donor database](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/01/16/top-10-crms-charities-nonprofits/)
> is essential to Trees For Cities’ work. We had been considering commercial CRM
> platforms, but the configuration costs were outside of our budgets. We found Donorfy
> to be surprisingly capable and easy to use. We liked the fact that it is made 
> for charities and ready to use from the outset, so we don’t have to spend as much
> to get something we can use.”

 

The charity will be using [Donorfy](http://donorfy.com) to supports its fundraising
from individuals, trusts and companies, as well as managing projects and volunteers.

 

Donorfy has been named in the top 20 cloud companies in the UK as part of the Cloudex
Awards. CEO Robin Fisk explains its success:

 

> “Quite simply it has taken away the need for expensive implementation projects–
> reducing costs and time, not to mention the stress of an average old-school CRM
> project.”
