51 Giveffect Testimonials

"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."

"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."

“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.”

"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."

"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."

"We raised over $15,000 in a short amount of time leading up to our Women Build. So we were very pleased with that aspect and how easy it was to undertake the fundraising process [using Giveffect] because that is always something that we’re in need of."

"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."

"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."

"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!"

"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."

“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.”

"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."

"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 Giveffect concept is one of the most relevant, contemporary and visionary ideas I have come across in a long time. This is a fabulous venue to engage younger donors from diverse backgrounds. It's rare to come across an idea that is so fresh and so entirely brilliant. As Giveffect grows, it has the potential to revolutionize philanthropic giving; to address critical issues such as poverty, hunger and illiteracy; and to literally save countless lives. The Giveffect team is passionate and well-informed. I look forward to joining them on their journey to inevitable success!"

"Thank you for being so wonderful to work with and your customer service being superb as it is!"
