51 Giveffect Testimonials

"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."

"The metrics that giveffect provides is super helpful. they help us identify what's working well and what we need to improve."

"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."

"It's been great to experience Giveffect's growth over the past few years. The software is user friendly, versatile, and always improving. The best part of working with Giveffect is the support staff, especially in the help chat. Their willingness to help and their responsiveness to feedback are beyond what you would experience in another CRM. I feel that my input on how I use the software and what I would like to see improved is not only heard, but considered valuable by the Giveffect team when working on updates."

“Giveffect’s email editing feature is nimble and easy for me to manage very effectively.”

"Giveffect is very easy to use and have used it to manage many of our fundraising campaigns. We have found the Tech Support at Giveffect have been very helpful when we have needed them. We would recommend!"

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

"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."

"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."

"Every time I get an offline donation, when I log the cheque into the database, I could see our supporter's whole history. I could see if they volunteered or donated in the past. It's the main thing our Habitat really appreciates about Giveffect. I can thank them and say, Thanks! You gave and you volunteered at our construction site or our reStore! It's fantastic that I can do that so easily and make each message so personalized."

"The Giveffect team has been essential in our transition from a traditional donor management system to a more innovative user/donor friendly platform. The setup and on-boarding was straightforward. The support we received from Giveffect is commendable. No question or concern has gone unanswered and the team works diligently to get us an answer or a solution. We are looking forward to a successful year with a focus on our donors."

“Since using Giveffect’s Campaign Creation tools, our new fundraising pages look great! Now we can easily see the different webpages along with our calendar of events.”

“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.”

"We were using a combination of several different platforms, spreadsheets and e-marketing solutions to run our 5 major fundraisers, multiple RSVP events and accomplish donor tracking and moves management. The system is so user friendly and appealing with a very modern feel. As our focus turns to a targeted campaign for individual contributions and moves management plans for specific donors, the notes and task scheduler/reminder is going to prove invaluable. We are very happy with Giveffect and the team is constantly making upgrades and improvements they they report on every two weeks so you never know what exciting things are on the horizon. I highly recommend them!"

"The Giveffect webinars have helped me discover effective components that will help in our fundraising efforts. Not only is the software user-friendly, but, if a question comes up, the staff at Giveffect quickly provides information. I really appreciate the "Chat with us" feature and the tutorials."
