"Donor intent and customer experience are at the forefront of Direct Relief’s fundraising activities. We had struggled with outdated software and then realized Classy could do all of the things we were missing—both with peer-to-peer activities and the main donation page. When mobile wallets and honoring donor intent were standard with Classy, that was the clincher."
“We’re bringing in dollars we never had. We started with small goals and kept hitting them."
"So many potential donors are lost when directed to a new webpage, and we wanted to remove as many barriers as possible. We now have an embedded donation form on our homepage and plan to add them on more web pages in the future since we’ve seen such positive results so far with first-time donors."
"We try to keep up with all of the improvements that Classy makes. We are able to identify areas of improvement and implement new features so that we can continue to improve and support communities in need."
"Our results on Classy have truly been the turnkey that we needed in order to go from word of mouth to an amplified national organization."
"We wanted to build a partnership with Classy to really maximize what we’re trying to accomplish and to support our mission through the resources that Classy provides."
"We’ve been with Classy since day one of our day one. All I hoped for our first tournament was that we would raise a few thousand dollars. We ended up raising $17,000+. I’ll never use anything but Classy forever."
“Classy is the easiest tool for growing your recurring donor base and has helped BPL not only double the number of sustainers in one year but also has connected us with our supporters and created a lovely experience for them.”
"With Books Unbanned, we wanted to give support to young people and tell them they do matter, that their stories are important, and that they’re fully supported by a public library."
"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."
"One of the reasons we switched to Classy was because it offered donors a more streamlined experience; no more clicking through multiple pages to complete a gift. The fields on the donation page are clear, making it easy for our donors to contribute. Since switching to Classy, the number of questions we’ve received on how to make a gift has gone down significantly."
"We are consistently taking advantage of new features and are keeping up with Classy’s pace of innovation. That way, we can ensure the best experience for our supporters and our team."
"The versatility of Classy has been very beneficial for us. From donation pages, crowdfunding, recurring donation options, peer-to-peer fundraising, and the flexibility to pay with different payment options enable us to tell our story and make it easier for our supporters to give."
"We were able to build a simple, visually appealing crowdfunding campaign in Classy that is mission-focused, communicates our need, and makes it easy for donors to give."
"It’s a collaborative effort between athletics and Advancement. So we all help to get the student-athletes set up with their Classy page and give them all the tools to succeed for their individual fundraisers."
