130 Classy Testimonials

“I love being able to log into the Classy dashboard and have everything I need for reconciliation right there.”

"Thanks to private funding, we have had a lifeline. We have had the opportunity to continue what we have started. Our goal is to shine light where there is an issue, and now we are a beacon to get other library systems to realize that they can be a part of this and help us fight back."

"I felt incredibly confident, having Classy as our fundraising platform, to manage the high gift volume we’ve seen over the past year and as we look to continue growing in the years ahead."

"If a student can get a fundraising campaign up and running on Classy by Giving Tuesday, it pretty much runs itself. It’s just a matter of pushing play the week before or day of.”

"Using the peer-to-peer campaign allowed us to focus less on getting pages set up and collecting fees and focus more on actually getting people to want to participate.”

“Without the switch to Classy, our current fundraising efforts would be restricted.”

“He has done amazing things for Heifer, and he is really engaged and energizes his community to support our mission. We want more people to be able to do that in a way that’s easy for them and offers the values they are looking for. I think our new platform allows us to provide this experience, as well as steward our fundraisers properly.”

"We were somewhat surprised by what people did. They began to stir this movement and mostly it was around water. I think people understood that there was a lot we could do to make a difference on that side.”

“Our first year when we had that big influx of dollars come in, that was a huge mailbox full of envelopes."

“Having an ocean separating you from your work is hard because you have to be really strategic about how you find a connection on a daily basis."

“Thank you so much for making this conference virtual and accessible. It was truly amazing! It was informative, inspirational, insightful. Every detail of this conference was exceptionally planned. The topics and presenters were excellent and provided actionable steps I can take immediately. I loved the networking and engagement tools. I will definitely sign up again! ”

“We’re bringing in dollars we never had. We started with small goals and kept hitting them."

“We were ready to roll and enable these kids to do third-party fundraising.”

“The team that ran the 2018 campaign had a number of other priorities, so there was not a lot of promotion.”

“We wanted our message to be unified. Before we had an online system, our students were using GoFundMe and we weren’t able to tell the story of the Y accurately. Everyone had their own personal page that we had no control over. It came across as disjointed and it didn’t tell the story in the way we wanted to tell it."
