51 Giveffect Testimonials

“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.”

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

"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 user-friendly features of Giveffect were a huge part of us surpassing our goal this year.”

“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.”

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

"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."

"Overall we are very pleased with Giveffect. Support has been helpful and knowledgeable. The system is very easy to use and produces all the information we need with little work for the user. It has been a bit of a challenge to set system up on our own however the online support is helpful. The video tutorials are very helpful as well."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
