  • Improved donor insights because we can run reports easily on all the data and compare to previous years
  • We used to record bids by hand, so would only capture the winning bid information and wouldn't have any insight into what donors bid on but didn't win and how many bids certain items got
  • Super helpful in providing insights into what auction items are popular and which don't perform as well.
  • Has made our work WAY easier as we used to design and print out auction item information...it took so much time!

  • I think that GiveSmart has given us more positive experiences with registration than the system we had before. Registration is as easy as possible because we are able to upload many of our guests before the event begins, which minimizing issues during the event.
  • We have also had more success with our auctions through GiveSmart. It looks professional, provides great tools like autobidding and texting, and promotes engagement with our items without us having to track them.
  • The data collected has been very helpful, especially for the auction. It's much easier now to pull reports from our events and use that information to determine future practices.

  • This is difficult to gauge. Frankly, I think most software programs would have given us the same return during our event.
  • Perhaps if the communications within GiveSmart were a little more functional, we would have used them more and tried to get more donations via mobile devices.
  • The lack of reporting customization options and general functionality really limit our ability to analyze the data we collect from our events.
