GiveCampus vs. Greater Giving

GiveCampus provides a substantial solution for our organization to be able to fundraise collectively from current alumni, staff, faculty, and local community members. GiveCampus is well suited to one day intensive giving campaigns and to crowdfunding from multiple and diverse donor sources. GiveCampus is not a replacement for your traditional fundraising database but serves as a significant addition to your current fundraising strategies

Greater Giving is the perfect platform for small/medium organizations looking for a solution to manage their fundraising and other events during the year. It is very easy to use, and new team members are quickly trained and up and running on the platform in no time. For organizations of our size, having the option of having a live person assist during big events is invaluable.

• Connect with donors outside our normal constituency
• Create a sense of urgency for giving to campaigns
• Make giving fun for donors
• Provide interactive tools to record and review giving campaigns

• Credit card swiping at registration is important to us. It allows our attendees to have the option to make a contribution during our special appeal, purchase silent auction items, etc... without having to make a payment each time.
• The day-of-event registration is so easy. As long as our host has provided us the name of the attendee registration is a breeze.
• The ability to send out post-event tax receipts

Incentivized

• Integration with Raiser's Edge
• Frequency of giving updates during one-day campaigns
• Ability to issue donor thank you's from the platform

Incentivized

• [I feel the] auction system is not as sophisticated as other systems
• Staff support structure
• Doesn't come out with updates very quickly [in my experience]

Great for beginners. Easy to get up and running quickly. I did worry a bit about my end-users accidentally changing or deleting data.

You are assigned a rep from the beginning and they are with you from start to finish PLUS are 100% available to you on your Day of Giving.

Raiser's Edge NXT is a powerful tool to keep all your fundraising data consistent and in one place. However, the addition of GiveCampus brings our campus giving day campaigns to a whole new level. GiveCampus would not replace the functionality of Raiser's Edge NXT for day to day fundraising operations, but it serves as a useful tool to assist our office in increasing our dollars and donors

The RNL Scalefunder platform is more suited toward Giving Days and digital types of events. I have found the Greater Giving platform can deliver on that but also gives us great support for in person fundraising, ticket sales, auction tracking and gala events which we do more of throughout the year.

Incentivized

• Increase in donors as a result of GiveCampus
• Increase in gifts as a result of GiveCampus
• More visibility for giving days

Incentivized

• The reporting improved our abilities to provide accurate information more timely to the finance department - a plus when completing the annual 990 or other information for our auditors.
• We saw an increase in collecting on pledges when we switched from a "text-to-give" platform (from another provider) to incorporating all event elements into Greater Giving. We were able to capture over 95% of gifts within 48 hours of the event compared to less than half that amount in previous years.
• The reports generated by Greater Giving are better received by our board of directors - easier to digest and provide meaningful analytics
