Shortly after, our primary fundraising page became unreliable and so we researched and investigated multiple fundraising options, eventually settling on Classy for their low fees and ease of use. Since then, we have used them for our primary fundraising, including seasonal email and social media appeals, as well as our peer-to-peer fundraising vehicle. Classy allows us to keep all of our online fundraising in one place, and it is easy to create a central hub out of which to manage all of our peer-to-peer fundraisers.,The back end makes it easy to create sleek, professional-looking pages that encourage donors to get involved.
Event management is a breeze, and we can easily send messages to event attendees with details, as well as follow up messages.
It is easy to track campaign performance and produce detailed reports.,It seems like updates seek to "fix" issues that were never broken for us, and we now have sync issues that were previously not an issue due to the latest update.
The recurring donor tool does not allow us to change the recurring donation amount, so we need to cancel and recreate donations when a donor wants to increase their gift.
Since the last update, we have seen a sharp uptick in donors complaining of freezing donation screens that go nowhere. In these cases, donors are frustrated that they have lost all the information they entered into the donation page.,7,Classy makes peer-to-peer management easy, and helped us facilitate a $100,000 fundraising campaign last November.
Issues caused by the last update have cost us significant staff time spent cleaning up records and searching for missing donations.
A sharp increase in donor complaints leads us to believe that there are technical issues on the donor side of the donation page. We bring in $40,000+ each month online, so losing even a small percentage of this would be a significant blow to our bottom line.,Flipcause,DPS Outlook Office, DonorSearch, Conga ComposerPeter GjersetClassy a great resource2018-07-17T15:14:31.255ZOur entire organization uses Classy!

So I started to use myself, and I find it a great workflow tool. Others are slowly starting to be convinced, just due to the value of the support material and publications Classy produces as well.,Streamlined, easy design
Great support and information
Publications and information are great tools for coworkers and constituents,More mobile payment options would be helpful
Integrates with Salesforce, organization uses a more antiquated CRM
Some of the segmenting reports can get complicated, as with all fundraisers,7,Has really oped the option for peer-to-peer pages, which our organization didn't previously do
