  • We have not used the database to its full extent, so I do not have specific examples as we have not used the donor insights very much
  • I appreciate that the events information is now transferring to the donor database so those contributions and people are being included in the master database.
  • Certainly much more efficient for a one-staff person organization as all of the information is in one place!

  • Allowing the donor the option to cover the credit card fees has saved us thousands of dollars a year on fees we would have otherwise had to pay.
  • It has improved network reach.
  • It has improved internal efficiency when it comes to setting up a payment plan for each donor. The system automatically charges them according to their plan the donor set up themselves as well as lets them know if their card is expired or did not go through.

  • The ease of GiveSmart has exponentially consistently increased our year-over-year fundraising.
  • GiveSmart allowed us to manage a Livestream component so more supporters could watch from home, especially during Covid.
  • The auction is open to the public rather than paper sheets for just those in the rooms. This also allows more bids and more funds
