Event.Gives offers a seamless and user-friendly event management experience, making it easy to create, organize, and manage events with its intuitive interface and robust features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Event.Gives is a powerful platform overall, I was looking for more customization options for event branding to align with our organization's specific aesthetic, and I worried that their template was somewhat limited in its ability to do this. I’m so glad their support team is so easy to get in contact with, because as soon as I mentioned my concerns they actually showed me how I could upload a premade invitation into the template as an image, which was a super simple solution that completely customized my event page. They had a solution or work around for every ‘dislike’ I could come up with! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have used many different platforms to plan events and Event.Gives was by far the easiest to set up, manage, and get guests checked in. I created my event online for free, the pricing was transparent, and I had great feedback and support from the staff. The customer service was great and thorough from start to finish. I worked with Jenny and she not only explained features I didn't know I could use on the site, but even gave me tips on how to utilize different them to raise more money. We exceeded our fundraising goal this year and I truly think it was due to switching to this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish they had item packaging, as I have done that in the past. When I talked to their team though, it sounds like they are adding this to a future update. I love that they listen to their customer's needs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the main advantages of Event.Gives is its ease of use. The platform is designed to simplify the fundraising and event management process for non-profit organizations, allowing them to focus on their mission instead of getting bogged down in administrative tasks. The intuitive interface and customizable templates make it easy for organizations to create professional-looking event pages and registration forms, even without extensive technical knowledge.

I wish Event.Gives had a more extensive CRM. While they offer an integration with Blackbaud, I would like to see something within their platform. They have all of the necessary tools to produce a great event, now I would like to see something that targets event management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was always easy to get ahold of an agent when I had any questions. They were helpful not just with the platform but with best practices for my event flow. I could set up a call anytime or receive an answer via email quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They do not provide devices to help with check-in, but the way the site is designed, you do not need additional devices. We just used our own smartphones to scan people in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Event.Gives impressed us with its exceptional ease of use. The platform's intuitive interface and straightforward navigation made setting up our event a breeze. From creating the event page and auction items, to managing registrations, everything was straightforward and user-friendly. It allowed us to focus on the event itself rather than getting bogged down by complex software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We just switched from another platform, so even though the learning curve was almost non-existent, we still had to get our guests used to something new - a minor inconvenience, and in the end, very worth it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I loved the ease of use to make our event on their platform. Their support was also very helpful in explaining their features and how we could maximize our fundraising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We did have some issues with reporting, but their team walked us through how to get what we needed in the end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Everything was just so easy, from the setup of our event page, to creating tickets and auction items, as well as on the night of our gala with check-in and the auction itself. All of our guests were really engaged and we ended up raising far more than last year. We used Givebutter last year and the feedback from our donors was that this new platform was more user-friendly for them on the front end. We will be sticking with Event.Gives for our future events!

This is not exactly a dislike and is defintiely my own fault, but they offer extra support options and I wish I'd taken them up on this for my first event. Overall everything went smoothly but I think having one of their support agents on site for added piece of mind would have relieved a lot of event night stress from our staff and allowed us all to enjoy it a little more.

The mobile experience was the best we have seen BY FAR. We have a large demographic of attendees over the age of 65 and they had no issues using the platform. By sending text and allowing people to use their own devices, the learning curve was basically eliminated. Our guests felt like the whole process was easy from check-iin, to the silent auction, and even having our guests donate from their phones through their Donation Link Text.

The reports that we got post event were not as robust as we needed. We were able to hop on a call with one of their team members and they walked us through how to pull the data we needed but they admitted this is an update they are currently working on so we are hopeful for that update.

We use Event.Gives for a Annual Banquet it makes our auction very easy to use and has everything all in one place! I can add all of our sponsors in and add them to our items they sponsored. I also like that I can contact the winner of each item through the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish it was easier to use from my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really love the text feature - you can send out mass messages quickly and we found that it really increased engagement with our auction. I also love that it is a percentage of your earnings fee rather than a flat rate, that way you can manage your costs better. It looks great, and you're able to mix around the order of items and update things easily.
Overall, super easy software to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I did receive some negative feedback about the check out process, as it was super easy, they are prompted to pay additional fees to support Event.Gives software. You can get rid of it, but our donors were a little put off by that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
