    GiveCampus
    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

    RedShelf
    RedShelf has been great in a higher ed environment to help connect students to textbook and publisher materials. It has helped make the process of purchasing/accessing those materials so much easier for students. I am at an institution now where we don't have RedShelf, and the faculty and students are regularly frustrated with this process, so I'll be looking to get us a license here soon. RedShelf is particularly useful if instructors are using various different types of materials from different publishers. However, if an institution was only using Cengage Unlimited for example (that is a service where students will just pay for access to that site and all the books/materials for all of their courses would be accessible on there), that would be a time where I would think RedShelf wouldn't provide you with as much benefit. That being said, we may be using RedShelf in a very specific manner, and it may be able to provide us more ability/features that we haven't taken full advantage of.

    • Waiting for a course management tool to streamline the process. It's in the works and a tall order since all clients approach the process differently.
    • A little bit of a stumble with a recent software rollout for day one access roll out, but at least it was intuitive to work through

    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
