Not what I expected--not sure if that's good or bad.
We used it for an annual fundraiser, live-giving opportunity, communication with guests, auction, and ticket sales. We have historically used a "paper" system that was very antiquated and cumbersome.

Easily customizable payment platform.
We sell tickets and sponsorships and collect donations for our fundraising and programmatic events on GiveSmart.

Fit Our Needs and Our Budget
I use it for our silent auction so that bidders unable to attend a gala in person are able to bid on items from home. I also used it for our walk for registration and fundraising.

Costly Disappointment at Best
We used GiveSmart for fundraising and silent auction in annual virtual event.

Basic User for Public Education
I use GiveSmart Fundraise and GiveSmart Event to manage to fundraise for Delivering Bags of Hope. GiveSmart was used for donations, tickets, and a silent auction for our 2022 funding year. The use of the silent auction service on GiveSmart Event was easy to learn and it make closing out of our auction a breeze.

Good platform - works great for auctions, text/mobile giving but needs work with training platform
We use this product for mobile donations (through MobileCause) and our online auctions.

GiveSmart as instrumental to success of ministries and programs
We use GiveSmart to seek out donations from attendees at one of our biggest events of the year. The event is funding entirely from donations from participants (80%) and corporate sponsors (20%). Without GiveSmart, it would much more challenging to meet our annual goals and be able to continue offering the event.
We use GiveSmart for our silent auction at our largest event of the year, the Annual Gala. This has helped save time with the auction setup and checkout. We now also use it at our Golf Tournament. It helps with saving time by selling raffle tickets.
I use GiveSmart for our Arbor Day of Giving campaign, which is different than Giving Tuesday. Instead of Giving Tuesday, our day of giving is Arbor Day.

A very clean looking user experience
My organization uses GiveSmart for our annual Gala and Golf Tournament. We use it for guest registration, listing, and allowing donors to bid on silent and live auction items, instant items, and check out.

Look Smart: Customization For a Gala With GiveSmart
We use GiveSmart for live auction, silent auctions, and mission appeals at our golf tournament and galas. At this year's gala, we tried to centralize all of our revenue on the GiveSmart site, so that our guests could access all our content and merchandise on the sidebar of the presentation stream. Since we utilize it exclusively for fundraising, the development team is much more familiar with GiveSmart than the programs team and executives. It makes giving more accessible and helps capture more of the interest in our silent auction items.

Making$$$
We use GiveSmart for our Annual Fundraising Event Hats & Heels. We utilize the Registration, Auction, Instant Sales and Donation functions.

User Friendly
GiveSmart is used as a fund raising tool for our annual gala.
June 05, 2021
GiveSmart is a worthwhile investment, with just a little room for improvement— just like the rest of us.
Our organization used The GiveSmart platform in our annual fundraising efforts. We have used them to help host our annual gala— hybrid (online and live), for a couple of years, and strictly online during COVID-19. It is used primarily by 3 or 4 of us to run our silent auction during the event. It also helps with communication during the event. Using GS has created ease in auction bookkeeping, payments, and generating post-event thank you/tax letters.

GiveSmart makes me feel SMART!
We are using it to fundraise for our political organization. We plan to have a marque event every year. It's used by a handful of people in my organization. Since Covid became an issue with in-person fundraising we decided to move to a virtual platform. It was very successful for our first attempt.

GiveSmart is Smart but not a Genius
We use this platform for event-related fundraising: ticketing, invoicing, raffle, and silent auction features.
June 03, 2021
We would not have been as successful this year without the virtual options from GiveSmart during the pandemic.
We are using GiveSmart for most of our virtual and hybrid auction & event registration needs for our fundraising efforts.
We use GiveSmart to facilitate a major fundraising event and a few additional campaigns throughout the year. GiveSmart is robust in features and allows us to handle ticketing, auction and instant purchase items, and marketing and communication needs.

Happy with GiveSmart
We use it for Events like our Galas. We use it for ticketing, for Silent and Live Auctions, some messaging, and for donor information for these events. Another organization was doing a fundraiser totally for us and we were able to set up an online auction for that event as well.

Build, Customize and Go!
We use it to build our event sales, auctions, and financial needs. We use it for ticket sales, auction items, messaging during events, and event records. It is used by several of the employees across the organization. It addresses the need to have all components in our events in one customizable software program and enables us to keep financial and other records separate.
June 03, 2021
Easy to use and master!
Whole organization - we use it for multiple events, auctions, ticketed and non-ticketed events, golf tournaments, etc. It very user-friendly and solves a lot of our problems and makes auctions very easy to manage and participate in.

Virtually all you need!
GiveSmart is an essential event management system we utilize with multiple events. It has integrated flawlessly into our virtual and now hybrid events in a way that allowed our organization to capture donor dollars from a distance. The platform is intuitive and can be customized to meet the needs of each event. The registration and checkout process is easily taught to volunteers. The system is user-friendly from ticket purchase, online bidding, and donation administration it is a must-have for non-profit organizations!
Nordson used the GiveSmart platform for our annual employee giving campaign. We had to quickly switch from in-person events to online due to COVID-19. Multiple locations within the United States used the site to hold events and online auctions. This product was used by our production and office employees to raise funds for our communities.
