NGP VAN Reviews in April 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

"Very good"

I found that in initially recruiting volunteers, working outside of VAN produced more meaningful connections with potential vols. Somehow VAN produced less personal contact.

What problems are you solving with the ...

"2 Years with VAN"

What do you like best? I love that VAN allows me to create tags for volunteers and voters, it makes it a lot easier to narrow down searches. What do you dislike? I wish that I was able to have multiple tabs open at once. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? VAN makes it easy to prioritize and target certain voters.

"Donor/client research upload and compliance/quarterly filing."

What do you like best? The best part of NGP is the ability to download contact/client donor lists. What do you dislike? It can be complicated to upload/find information about specific donors. You have to go through several tabs to even get to where you need to be. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? All of our client donor info is centralized which is a benefit for us and we are able to track call time/donations that come in to each campaign.
