51 Giveffect Testimonials

"From the demo, to the support we received in transferring over our systems and data, to answering questions as they came up, Giveffect's staff has been amazing. As a small non-profit with limited capacity, Giveffect has transformed how we reach our most important audience: our donors. With email integration, a comprehensive CRM and helpful videos for every service available, it has been so easy to transfer over to Giveffect."

“I wanted to avoid using several different software systems that required multiple logins and didn’t integrate well.”

"Giveffect has helped me on numerous occasions. I don't even have to pick up the phone. Their online chat is super quick and easy. This is one of the only companies I know that utilize the live chat feature in such a productive and efficient manner. You have made the transitions easier and it's great to know that you are there during the day."

"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 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."

"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."

“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.”

"I think we've got a really good handle on it now and it does save time. It's really on the backend when we want to follow up or we need to get ahold of somebody to discuss their opportunity, to track the hours the group has put in. I think the reporting aspect of it has certainly saved us a lot of time because we're not manually entering and then following up with a spreadsheet that we're trying to keep track of. It's nice to be able to use all of the capabilities."

"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."

"We are new clients in the Giveffect world and from start to finish, have had an amazing experience. Our data migration was seamless, campaigns are easily set up and customer service is literally at your fingertips. We are thrilled with the new system and love the ease and look of our new pages."

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

“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.”

"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."

"For many months I had been looking for a complete software solution for our charity. Previously we were using multiple platforms and companies for our needs. It was complex and expensive. Giveffect was exactly what we were looking for. Their software takes care of our fundraising, donor management, event management, and volunteers all under a single umbrella. To boot their customer service is enthusiastic and helpful. My rep, Sharon, feels like a buddy who's got my back!"

"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!"
