GiveSmart

We use GiveSmart for online donations, fundraising campaigns, and fundraising events. We needed a software that allowed us to engage our current donor base and enable fans of our organization to crowd-fund for us. GiveSmart has diverse features that allow us to communicate with and engage with our donor base in several helpful ways. The event side helped us save money on printing tickets for our biggest fundraising event, and it was straightforward to set up raffles, silent auctions, instant sale items, and more. The platforms make tracking donations, votes, tickets, etc., easy and provide attractive web pages for crowd-funding events.

We are using it to collect money. So far, we have used it for donation events, camps, and an alumni event.

We use GiveSmart Fundraise primarily as our online donation software. We have also used it for event pages for different fundraising events and were users of MobileCause before it was bought out by GiveSmart. It serves as an event fundraising platform as well as point of service credit card processor when you use it alongside the MobileCause app. We have also used it for hybrid and live-stream events effectively.

Our school uses GiveSmart as an online giving tool. The form embeds nicely into our webpages keeping the look and feel of our current website. The forms are very pleasing to the eye and user friendly both on a computer as well as on a mobile phone. The software allows text to give which we also take full advantage of during our giving events. The setup and reporting are very intuitive. We also are very happy with the fair pricing of the software. Overall it has been a great experience.

We have used GiveSmart for ticketing at our events, for silent auctions, and for fundraising. We selected the program because it could handle all of these functions. Previously, we had been using a number of programs to accomplish these tasks.

We use GiveSmart for fundraising and to communicate with donors and potential donors. GiveSmart gives us many options for fundraising campaigns and makes it easy for donors to connect with and support our organization. We are able to create newsletters, message through social media and accurately receive and acknowledge contributions.

We use GiveSmart to fundraise for our events and to facilitate online auctions. GiveSmart helps us organize ticket and item auctions to benefit our programs. It helps streamline the movement of money between our donors and our organization. Guests are able to make their own accounts, view items available for purchase/auction, and even choose how they would like to pay for their purchases. On the backend, GiveSmart batches reports and helps us keep track of fulfilled and unfulfilled pledges. In addition, I've found that their support team has been a great resource in times when we've needed to troubleshoot an issue.

We use GiveSmart for fundraising through static gift forms, the creation of crowdfunding campaigns for both short (~24 hour) and midrange (~3 month) campaigns, and for event registration and management. We have recently begun making use of the text features as well to great success, by uploading lists and using them to send potential donors to existing gift forms.

Our previous vendor was very static, visually unappealing, and lacked a great deal of overall flexibility and did not allow us to do Days of Giving at all. Using Givesmart has given us both flexibility and powerful reporting, as well as the ability to create and use the gift and registration forms we need when we need them with a minimum of fuss.

We use GiveSmart to create event pages and GiveSmart Fundraise to create select campaign donation forms. One of our largest fundraising events requires a user-friendly peer-to-peer platform and GiveSmart worked well for this. The home page was easy to design and received well by our audience.

We use GiveSmart as a fundraising platform. I enjoy the aesthetic and ease, but the costs can be quite expensive.

GiveSmart is the platform that captures our online donor activity. It allows users to make credit card and paypal donations directly to us. Users are able to designate their donation as well as leave notes for memorial gifts. The back end of the site allows for quick reporting and custom donor detail.

We use GiveSmart as our main fundraising software. Fundraising plays a crucial role in supporting the operations and mission of nonprofit organizations.

We oversee a high-end event with over a million dollars in transactions and GiveSmart has consistently helped us manage with minimal issues.

We are using Givesmart as our software for an upcoming dinner event with a live and silent auction.

Originally, I chose GiveSmart Events when I was the Executive Director of a nonprofit organization that supports a public school system. We were migrating from another CRM to Salesforce and needed an event platform that could accommodate a variety of event types. GiveSmart was compatible with Salesforce and was easy to learn with responsive support. After retiring, I started a consulting company that support nonprofits and one of my clients asked for a recommendation for an upcoming event. We chose a package that included both GiveSmart Events & Fundraise and I've now used both platforms. It would be great if GiveSmart could merge the two platforms. Fundraise is far more versatile and attractive from a user perspective. Events, however, is your only option for an online silent auction. The support team at GiveSmart is extremely responsive and when we approach them with an issue, it is usually easily resolved or a workaround is suggested. Over the past three years, I have also seen improvements made based on user recommendations.

We use GiveSmart for 2 signature events each year and for limited campaigns as well. GiveSmart is easy to use and set up quickly and has yielded strong fundraising results for our organization.

We have been using MobileCause for many years but they merged with GiveSmart about a year ago. The look and feel is still MobileCause so the transition for us was pretty seamless. We use GiveSmart/MobileCause to accept and process online donations for our organization. Potential donors visit our website, click on the "Donate" button and are taken to a web page where they can enter their donation/payment information. We process monthly recurring donations and one-time tributes via this page as well. We will periodically change the form or create a new one to match a solicitation we are sending. We've even themed the form to match an event like a golf tournament or gala.

We use it at events for fundraising purposes. GiveSmart makes it easy to reach more people and therfor raise more money.

Our organization is nonprofit and we use GiveSmart software for the auction fundraising at our annual Gala event. GiveSmart handles the mobile bidding (silent/live auctions, raffle, wine pull, etc), check in and check out, and paddle raises/fund a need at our event. This software has replaced our need for bid sheets and additional staff at registration and has taken away A LOT of the stress of having to manage these functions on our own. Their support staff is very helpful in helping set up your campaign and in running reports post-event.

Givesmart makes our job so much easier! We are able to set up events with silent auction, raffle, tickets sales and more. Everything is streamlined and we can analyze data much faster. For recurring events, we are able to duplicate the campaign which saves time and money. Having everything at our fingertips, in one place makes for an efficient event and appeal process. We love Givesmart!

We have three minimum large fundraising events a year and have used give smart for two. We use all of the bits and pieces for event registration, silent auction and raffle, individual fundraiser profiles, donations, text communication, etc. Like most event registration companies today, givesmart does not provide staff for event registration - but they do have recommendations for companies, one in particular I have enjoyed working with is GOAT (who is an event solutions company) as they really know the system well for event day. Another bummer we have found with givesmart is though the text ad email capabilities with patrons is amazing, their "sending templates" are limited and you cannot include images in the body of your email. These limitations force our company to use other sending platforms like mailchimp.

At both organizations where I have used GiveSmart (previously MobileCause), we have GiveSmart for: peer to peer fundraising campaigns including large scale tracking for volunteer solicitors who raise money for us through each year; for do-it-yourself fundraising options like donate your birthday/anniversary/wedding shower or tribute pages; to provide text to give options during in person events; and for virtual events fundraising - especially during the COVID crisis. GiveSmart provides flexibility and permits to empower donors to set up their own fundraisers on our behalf. It provides great tracking of progress to goals and the interface for reporting is easy to us.

We use GiveSmart to run our fundraising events! Mainly, our Golf Outing and Annual Gala. Through GiveSmart, we are able to sell tickets for the event, raffle prizes, and auction items. It is convenient for everything to be in one place, on one platform. On the user side, it is very easy to use and intuitive, which is important for some of our older donors.

As a 501c(3) school for 3-year-old children to 9th graders, we host several fundraising events. GiveSmart helps us in executing a successful annual auction. The funds raised support our students and teachers. From silent to live auctions, GiveSmart improves the way that we raise funds for our greatest assets.

We use GiveSmart for our fall annual fund campaign and our spring fundraising gala.
