51 Giveffect Testimonials

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

"Our first donor crowdfunding campaign on Giveffect was a great success, and is an example of how powerful a fundraising platform it can be in the hands of passionate young people. We certainly hope more and more of our supporters consider using Giveffect to raise money for War Child’s programs."

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"The main reason we chose Giveffect is that it had all the different systems we were interested in all-in-one, we had looked at Raisers Edge, E-Tapestry and Bloomerang for the donor piece as well as Volunteer Hub and SignUp.com for the volunteer platform, but the fact that Giveffect was integrated and the systems could all speak to each other was the main selling point for us."

“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.”

"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."

"The most helpful part of Giveffect is that everything is under one platform. I can look at a profile and know exactly how that individual is interacting with our organization from emails, interactions, donations, volunteer hours and survey responses! It's also very helpful that the event software and forms are integrated into the platform. The donation forms are easy to use and you can set up campaigns very quickly that will help increase support for your initiatives. We have also been impressed with the reporting feature - it has allowed us to track a lot of different analytics quickly that we weren't able to do with our previous CRM."

"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!"
