Not a great fit for small organizations.
Overall Satisfaction with GiveSmart
We use GiveSmart for the fundraising needs of our nonprofit. We needed a way to make it easier for donors to give to us electronically and to manage recurring sponsors and donors. We also needed help learning how to fundraise and create and foster relationships with those interested in our ministry or currently giving.
Pros
- Customizable donation forms
- Quick payment processing
- Large learning center and numerous webinars
Cons
- More ways to accept payments (ACH, Venmo)
- Integrations with their CRM, QuickBooks
- Donor portals for donors to be able to change donation dates, contact information, and donation amounts on their own
- Better tech support
- Better customer support from sales rep
- Increased fundraising revenue
- Increased work load for creating forms, events, etc.
- Required too much extra work to get needed information to a CRM or accounting system
- In my experience, did not help us in cultivating and maintaining relationships with donors
It truly is very customizable, and we really appreciate that fact. The customization does come at a cost of more work to customize it all.
