Discover why nonprofits switch from Mailchimp to WeGive for donor management. With built-in CRM sync, pre-built automations, and integrated donor engagement tools, WeGive helps growing organizations connect email marketing to real impact.
Growing nonprofits often juggle too many tools. Your CRM holds donor data. Mailchimp handles emails. Another platform manages giving forms. Then there's direct mail, SMS, and event tools. Each system is its own island.
The result? Your team spends hours moving data between platforms. Donors get disconnected experiences. And measuring real impact becomes nearly impossible.
WeGive changes this by putting everything under one roof:
* Email marketing
* Donor management
* Text messaging
* Direct mail
* Giving forms
* Event registration
* Impact tracking
All connected to your CRM.
We get it - switching platforms is a big decision. Your team already knows Mailchimp. Your templates are there. Your processes work (mostly).
But we've helped hundreds of nonprofits make this change. From small charities to major foundations, we know how to:
* Keep your data safe
* Move your templates
* Train your team
* Get you results fast
The upside? Your team gets time back. Your donors get better experiences. And you can finally measure true impact.

WeGive is built specifically for nonprofits using Salesforce, offering integrated donor management, automated workflows, and impact tracking. Mailchimp is a general email platform requiring manual data management and custom automation building.
WeGive uses bi-directional API sync that updates every 15 minutes. Any changes in either system automatically update the other, including contact info, donation data, and communication preferences.
Unlike Mailchimp where changes stay in one system, WeGive automatically updates your CRM. When a donor updates their info anywhere, it updates everywhere - keeping your data clean across all systems.
The system is elastic - it automatically scales resources to maintain speed as your list grows. Search results take less than 10 seconds, even with hundreds of thousands of contacts. You can also choose to keep 'marketing contacts', or non-donor profiles, from syncing to your CRM until they make a gift, ifyou choose.
Yes. You can bring and upload your own templates. We also partner with Stripo, the world's top-rated email editor, if you want to look for new templates. During implementation, we can help move your templates and set up your most-used communications.
Every email, donation form, and campaign connects directly to your CRM. You can show donors their personal impact (like "You've provided 10 pairs of shoes") and track engagement across channels.
WeGive provides:
- Weekly check-in calls during onboarding
- Real-time chat support
- Emergency phone support
- Full team training
- Online help center
While Mailchimp charges by contact count ($535-$1,025/month for 20k-100k contacts), WeGive starts at $400/month including our other donor management tools like giving forms, events platform, and donor portal. You get 200,000 emails and 20,000 texts monthly, with additional sends at $0.001 per email.
Yes, WeGive includes email, SMS, direct mail, and handwritten cards - all from one platform. Direct mail costs $1 per piece and handwritten cards are $3 each.
WeGive follows SOC 2 Type 2 standards with redundant servers, daily backups, and data encryption. All data is stored in US-based AWS servers with multi-zone availability.
