    Chose CrowdRise / GFM Charity (discontinued)
    Crowdrise is very similar to Classy and some of the other products we have used. The benefits are their fee guarantee and how easy the set up process is. They have many different features and seem to have more customization ability than some of its competitors. We've gone back …

    Chose CrowdRise / GFM Charity (discontinued)
    Since GFM was selected for us I can't give the rationale behind that. However, I do think that Qgiv and Salsa are more internally user-friendly and provide at least the same amount of functionality. That being said, the other two (I think) require CRMs to use whereas GFM can …

    GoFundMe is well suited for personal appeals where a story can be told and donors feel an immediate result or effect. It is less appropriate for larger mass appeals that are not targeted directly to a specific cause. For example, not good for companies to ask for funding for operating expenses.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Need a clearer picture of your campaign status, especially around publishing (making it live).
    • Processing rates are not horrible but not great either - If we used our own processor our fees would be cut in half.

    Usability
    Discontinued Products
    GoFundMe is very easy to use and does a great job allowing us to share insights and stories to leave a lasting impression on donors. From setting up the account to ending the appeal, the entire process has been very user-friendly. I'm very impressed with the experience so far and plan to continue using it for future campaigns.

    Crowdrise has been great with their customer support. They have always been helpful and available. They also have several resources on their website that has been useful to other areas of our non-profit. Their relatability has been positive for us and has made us feel taken care of and considered.

    Since GFM was selected for us I can't give the rationale behind that. However, I do think that Qgiv and Salsa are more internally user-friendly and provide at least the same amount of functionality. That being said, the other two (I think) require CRMs to use whereas GFM can just integrate with others, making it a better choice for one-off campaigning.
