What do you like best about Classy?

Classy helps us run campaigns that raise funds for our organization! We setup various campaigns such as peer to peer fundraising or recurring giving and attract, manage and cultivate donors with the help of Classy's tools. It is SO easy to create and report on donor activity! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Classy?

The design-yourself options for pages are a bit limited. One hurdle is that when you want to design a custom page (with video, different styles of graphics. etc) you sometimes have to work with a classy designer to build that for you. That is very expensive for a small nonprofit. We had a custom page designed because we wanted to add a video banner and it cost over $1000 for classy to build. I wish they allowed you to customize the look in more ways! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Classy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Classy solves donor management and tracking for us. We can view all of our donor data and easily pull reports on who gave what amount. Our Classy also integrates with Saleforce through a plug-in so that really helps us reconcile the donor records and keep our database up to date! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows our community of grateful patients to fundraise on our behalf. Those who do not fall into a 'major gift' capacity can still raise substantial, critical funds for the hospital through P2P fundraising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Classy?

While Classy is extremely user-friendly, easy-to-use, and aesthetically-pleasing, the most impressive part of the platform is the excellent customer service. It is truly above and beyond service, and they are able to answer even the most basic questions without making you feel bad about asking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Classy?

There's nothing I can even think of that I dislike about Classy.

What do you like best about Classy?

The biggest asset is the ease of use. Classy is straightforward and fun to use after you get acclimated to it. I'm a particular fan of using the event pages for fundraising events. You have a lot of control over the event and I've never had any issues with tracking ticket sales for events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Classy?

Occasionally the server will go down, but it's never taken longer than a few hours to come back up. This only happens maybe 1 or 2 times per year. It's never been a huge issue in reality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Classy:

Can't recommend them enough Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Classy solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest problem we solve with Classy is fundraising for our nonprofit. Classy helps us track fundraising, maintain donor information, and is also used for selling tickets for all of our events. The integration into Salesforce is flawless. We have benefitted immensely from the accurate donor information and ease of use - we don't have to spend a lot of time training new employees on using Classy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Classy?

Ease of making a personalized website that matches our brand and has all the functionality that we need. Our participants find it easy to navigate and use which is so important when you are asking people to voluntarily fundraise for your cause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Classy?

I wish there was a way to highlight our sponsor logos in an upfront way so that participants and website visitors see them without it impeding their ease and ability to find information relevant to them. A sidebar or something? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Classy solving and how is that benefiting you?

Classy allows us to run multiple similar events across Canada with the same professional quality of user experience and administrative management. When those two things are easier, we can focus on our priorities like recruiting participants and ensuring a quality event. We have had increased participation since using Classy and having measurably fewer user problems means having more returning participants year after year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
