"InitLive's flexibility in creating volunteer shifts and curating schedules is incredible. Volunteers really appreciated the ability to self-sign up and the flexibility to fit their volunteering around their busy life, work, and family schedules. The integration between InitLive and MapTag has also been incredible. We have been able to streamline our workflow to the point where we could take on new food banks without an increase in staff resources."

"InitLive helps me communicate a 100% more efficiently and accurately. Using InitLive, if there is any type of safety situation, I know who's checked in to the event. It’s part of our security plan: using InitLive, we can pull up all the information we need on our phones. I can send broadcast messages just to specific groups or all volunteers at once."

“The Lansing Area AIDS Network (LAAN) holds its annual AIDS Walk Lansing/East Lansing event each year in September. For many years the event was part of a larger series of AIDS Walk events throughout the State of Michigan that fell under the banner of AIDS Walk Michigan with Kintera providing the website and support. When AIDS Walk Michigan was disbanded, LAAN and several other cities decided that they would continue with separate walks. LAAN was looking for an option that would be both user friendly and less expensive to operate. Qgiv’s peer-to-peer fundraising platform provided that solution. LAAN has been very satisfied with the relative ease of set up and site maintenance, the ability to create a very unique and event specific website, readily secure various reports, and the support that is consistently provided as needed. It has been easy for staff to use and has been reported as very user-friendly by donors. An additional bonus which LAAN has considered, but not acted on, is the ability to create another fundraising event during the same contract year. I would highly recommend that Qgiv be considered by any agency looking for an event website that should prove cost effective, efficient to administer, and easy to use.”

"Just being able to tag things so we can track it is a huge thing."

“Complexity has been my general experience with software. If I wanted to make a report, it was around a 19-step process. It came down to a user experience that didn’t meet the needs of our average user. Having used other software platforms, it was by far the most complex and challenging one I’ve used.”

"We use [Bloomerang] to track all of our donations, pull reports, year-end tax letters. This year it took about 20 minutes, whereas in 2021 it took 4 hours."

"The customer service is truly excellent through the online chat feature. They’re always very professional and helpful. Fast response too."

"The system does everything. It has increased our ability to track donors, increase accuracy, and keep in touch."

"The integration between Qgiv and Bloomerang is wonderful. It eliminates duplicate tasks, makes our stewardship more seamless, and helps our organization work more efficiently."

“Bloomerang has streamlined our donation entry process, simplified our reporting, and enhanced our ability to ensure that we are asking the right donors for the right support. In our first year of using Bloomerang they have already made significant improvements to their systems and processes allowing us to have even more fine turned control over all aspects of our database. Everything is user friendly and the features are tailored to what is most important for fundraisers!”

“Bloom (as we affectionately call it) is easy to use and does everything we need it to do. The company is constantly updating functionality so it continues to get better and better. It’s easy to get help when we need it and the online recorded trainings are good.”

“We not only have enhanced security of our constituent data, but we love how Bloomerang has helped us to communicate to our current members, cultivate potential members, and the Kindful integration even allowed us to raise funds more than we ever anticipated. It also helped us to capture potential constituents to do cultivation which we never have done before. Our membership has now seen the return on our investment in this product, and for that we thank you.”

“At the Grand Rapids Public Museum, our mission is to be a living monument of the artifacts, ideas, and stories of Grand Rapids and West Michigan, as well as to inspire passionate curiosity and deeper understanding of the world around us. As the Development Administrative Database Manager, my responsibilities include supporting the Development Team in their fundraising efforts, as well as managing our donor database, Bloomerang, and other technologies used to support our events, like Qgiv. Our organization hosts our two largest fundraising events in the fall and spring every year. In 2022, we decided to switch from Greater Giving to Qgiv’s auction and event registration platforms to increase our efforts. The gala was highly successful, raising over 130% of our goal, thanks to the help of Qgiv. We really enjoy Qgiv’s integration with Bloomerang. It allowed us to streamline our processes, so we don’t have to enter constituent information manually, and it minimized the chance of errors in our database. Our constituent profiles are now more robust and show us a fuller picture of their engagement with our organization. Additionally, we love the customization Qgiv provides within the platform. It makes it possible for us to have cohesive branding and create the best experience possible for our end users. I’m not a web or graphic designer; however, creating the look we want has been very user friendly. I look forward to expanding our use and implementation of Qgiv forms as we continue to grow. Finally, the attention that Qgiv gives to our feedback and concerns has been amazing. Working with an organization that not only asks for feedback but makes improvements based on that feedback keeps us with Qgiv!”

“Qgiv is essential to Bikes Not Bombs’ capacity to hold and manage events. Our annual Bike-a-Thon is a four-route bike ride for 500 riders, and with the Qgiv peer-to-peer platform, we can set up a web page where riders easily register, form teams, solicit sponsors and accept donations. It’s a seamless process and very easy to use. Qgiv has made us more successful because it saves us tons of time by allowing our event participants to handle their own sponsorships and fundraising. It provides easy tools for riders to enhance their fundraising. We use Qgiv to export donations and donor data to our CRM, Bloomerang, every single day. I just set the integration to export automatically daily, and it’s done. I don’t need to do a thing. Qgiv exports the donor name, all contact information, donation amount, date, and type of donation. Setting up this integration has saved us hundreds of hours of manually entering data. We’d be lost without it. Qgiv is intuitive even for non-tech people, and if I do have questions, I can reach out to the Customer Support Center. They’re always there and ready to help!”

“So I was in charge of implementation and I am the donor steward person, finance manager. The implementation [of Bloomerang] was fantastic. Bloomerang step by step, walked us through every step, told us every what to expect every week, every month. And it went so smoothly, I was so pleased with it. Now that we’re using it, I love the integrations between Qqiv and our donor page and that brings it over into Bloomerang, which then syncs with our Quickbooks and it just flows so easily that we’re able to communicate better with our donors, we’re able to track things and the reports are amazingly easy to use and very robust, I’m so happy with the whole system.”
