NGP VAN excels at generating district-specific campaign finance reports and integrating with official Democratic party voter file enrichment efforts. NationBuilder's voter outreach tools, however, are more up to date and user friendly. Financial compliance, NGP's speciality, should not drive a decision to use its tool suite and an integration with Drupal for your website, a costly and time-consuming process (check out Liberal Art's description of how NationBuilder compares to "Drupal +" solutions). With NationBuilder, your website is integrated seamlessly with voter outreach and advocacy tools, and our website builder and offical themes are included in your subscription. 

If your finance team wants NGP for compliance purposes, use NationBuilder and export your data to run quarterly reports. If you have access to the VAN through your local or state party organization, you can still use NationBuilder by importing your VAN voter file and using our action tools.
