51 Giveffect Testimonials

"One thing I like about Giveffect is that they're willing to work in program with us. It makes things easier."

"I started used Giveffect with the start of a new job and was basically on my own to "get up to speed" and use the software optimally. It is really intuitive in its design and after viewing the relevant training videos, I was able to apply it's use to my daily workflow. For the first time, the branch I was working for was able to have volunteers sign up online, check in and out on an iPad, and have their hours tracked in real time. Anytime I needed a little help, the customer service team was available through the "Chat" feature and incredibly responsive and patient."

"We decided that we were going to look for software that cut down on cost by not having to utilize various different software pieces and roll that into one. We wanted to narrow it down to one system, which could encompass all of our needs. It came down to accuracy for us, Giveffect had a much easier interface, a much cleaner experience."

"As we transition from our last donor database to Giveffect, it is very refreshing to know there is help just a click away when we get stuck. Compared to our last database, the potential this system has is far superior and I'm excited to explore and learn of all the options it has to offer. The on-line chat service to help navigate through the system is outstanding. Being one of those who is not technologically savvy, the tutorials and on line help have made this transition super easy. I am so thrilled to have been a part of this transition with Giveffect right there ready to help."

"In summary, these are the departments that use the Giveffect system: mortgage management, business office, marketing and communications, volunteer and community outreach, family partnerships and pretty soon, Habitat ReStore."

"With our previous software, we’d spent hours on hours to make an event website, then we’d put stuff into the CRM and it would always mess up. With Giveffect, the final test was to see if our 70 year old CFO was able to run with Giveffect - that’s when we knew it would be very good!"

“In one simple step we can pull contacts for our Board and see the donation amounts they’ve brought in.”

"I looked at a lot of different systems and spent a long time trying to decide and they mostly had too little functionality. Giveffect was more expensive than what we intended to spend, however we felt like we were getting more for our money to bring so many processes under one roof and I was absolutely sold how the back end of the system talks to the front end. Saves us a lot of work every day, and also provides a higher level of accountability. As far as the campaign pages and website solution, they are so attractive. We used Razoo for individual fundraisers, which would be a manual upload and a higher rate for processing fees. We used Giftworks for our CRM and donation pages, very anti-intuitive system, difficult for donors to use and we got constant complaints from the donors."

"Since changing to Giveffect (cloud based) from a software based system, we've noticed that Giveffect is very intuitive. We don't need a lot of training to figure out how to use the system. The other nice piece is that they provide step-by-step video tutorials right in the Giveffect dashboard. They also have online chat support, which is really nice. We've not even had to use the chat support much at all."

“I like how easy Giveffect has been to use. It allowed us to streamline our processes and gave us a database, so we can track who is reserving tickets and who is donating to the Foundation. Giveffect even allows us to easily data map those who attend each event, and we can assign them to groups in the Giveffect CRM. And once they are automatically placed into groups, we can reach out to them easily with emails and more going forward. If they’re donors, attendees, or something else, the system keeps track of who they are and what they have done.”

“During Covid-19 we had about an 85 percent decrease in volunteer efforts in covid, but we had to still schedule out real projects that were on the books. We still have to coordinate our build schedule, which was put behind. And it’s not just the professional labor but the volunteer labor that’s impacted. It’s a unique challenge to have to coordinate all these aspects.”

"Giveffect has made a huge difference in the way that we fundraise. Setting up a campaign page is super simple, and has made purchasing tickets to our events so easy for our donors. The support from Giveffect is also awesome! Tech support always gets back to you quickly, and will work through a problem with you until you've figured it out. We love Giveffect!"

"The greatest thing about Giveffect is that everything is in one system. When we were considering which systems to use, the four key things we were looking for was a volunteer database, relationship database, online giving system and registration forms."

"Recently I have been asking the Tech Support team a lot of questions and they have been quick to respond in efforts to help me learn more about Giveffect and how to perform various functions I need. Several areas I have recommended or asked for improvements are currently on the dashboard for 2017. The system does more than I ever thought and they seem to want to make it continually better. Looking forward to the upgrades/changes taking place this year."

"Giveffect allows me to bring [multiple] systems under one, instead of having several separate systems with several separate logins and costs."
