51 Giveffect Testimonials

"Giveffect has been a life saver. It is easy to use and I love that the software has email capability, online giving, relationship management tracking and great reports. I like having the ability to do many business processes in one system. Ease of use was incredibly important. Giveffect's team members were great with onboarding and set up."

"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 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 system was antiquated and old, and it wasn’t able to do what we needed it to do.”

“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.”

"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."

"We appreciate the time and effort that the people at Giveffect have provided to us during our very first crowdfunding campaign. Due to their fantastic support and patient guidance, we look forward to our next one!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Last year we used Kintera Sphere, 550 student volunteers raised $268,000. This year we used Giveffect, 420 volunteers raised $267,000. We fundraised about the same amount with 130 fewer students! We found that Giveffect's ease of access and use increased the funds we raised per student - up about $150 more compared to what they had raised with Kintera Sphere. I truly believe that if we had the same number of student volunteers fundraising this year, we would easily exceed $300,000."

"For Sisters Achieving Excellence, Giveffect has been a refreshing move for philanthropy. We are not a traditional organization, and the population we serve is certainly not traditional. Giveffect allows us to reach out to a new group of philanthropists, ones who are truly interested in changing the world we live in."

“Combining volunteers and donors was a difficult and cumbersome process for us, we used pen and paper to gather information for our volunteers and members. With Giveffect we were able to decrease the amount of manpower used to gather information, expand our reach into the community, and create efficiency within our staff.”

“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.”

"The best part is the closure. The Giveffect experience is all about letting donors know what happened with their donation. This means organizations, like ours, can maintain a deep and lasting relationship with individuals long after the campaign is over."
