What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

I am a new user of GiveCampus; I have not experienced any areas for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GiveCampus is solving several problems for my university. One of the main problems it addresses is the challenge of engaging and connecting with alumni, donors, and potential donors. By providing a platform for online giving, fundraising campaigns, and alumni engagement, GiveCampus makes it easier for us to reach out to their community and cultivate a culture of philanthropy.

Additionally, GiveCampus offers solutions for streamlining the donation process, tracking fundraising progress, and providing analytics to help us make data-driven decisions. This not only benefits the university by increasing fundraising revenue and alumni engagement but also creates a more efficient and effective way to manage our fundraising efforts.

Overall, GiveCampus is solving the problem of outdated and inefficient fundraising methods, and by doing so, it is benefiting the us by helping build stronger connections with our community and raise more funds to support our mission and initiatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

I love the ease of use and ability to create simple, effective campaigns. I can add as much or as little detail as needed, and have the ability to meet my donors where they are. The GC platform has been great, especially for giving days and one off projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

I haven't had any issues with Give Campus thus far! I wish we had the means to afford all of the capabilities, but have been happy with what we can implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GiveCampus gave our donors a simple way to give to areas of the school they are passionate about. It also allowed my team to manage our volunteers and put the power in the hands of the volunteers when it came to tracking their prospects and outreaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus is a great tool for crowdfunding and general online giving. Specifically, their GivingDay tools have helped us increase giving three years in a row. They accept a wide variety of payment options, from bank transfer to credit card to digital wallet standards like ApplePay, GooglePay, PayPal, and Venmo. Their customer support is always available to assist. During GivingDay and other fundraising events, they are available 24-7. They give the ability to establish custom reports for gift entry/accounting needs. They are constantly making improvements that increase ease of use, such as searchable designations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus requires many add-on features to make full use of their products, thus increasing the cost. Their contracts can be cumbersome. For example, contracts for crowdfunding and giving forms are set up separately. Using less in one doesn't allow you to utilize the extra to cover overage in the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GivingDay would not be possible without a solution like GiveCampus. They manage leaderboards, allow donors to easily share with their social networks, and email gift receipts at the time of gift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Colby Horne of GiveCampus

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that GiveCampus has played a significant role in your fundraising success, especially in helping you grow giving year after year. Your feedback on our diverse payment options, customer support, and custom reporting is greatly appreciated. We also value your input on areas for improvement and will continue to work on enhancing the overall experience. Thank you for trusting us with your GivingDay events and for being a valued partner!

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

We are fairly new to the platform, and one of the things we appreciate most is how the company is responsive to feedback and are making careful, but swift, growth. The platform is fairly user-friendly, from both the backend and front perspectives, and allows for better giving pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

The event modules isn't nearly as robust as we'd hoped, and we're struggling to make it work for us. Additionally, there are certain issues with the reporting across the platform that just dont make sense.

Also, the customer support needs work. They ONLY do email, and it can be confusing, plus we dont always get the right answer (when we message again, we somtimes get the correct answer from someone different) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus has been a game-changer for volunteer management and Giving Days. Their Volunteer Management System makes the whole process much easier (and quicker) for our team internally and also for volunteers, and their social fundraising platform has brought our Giving Days to life. Most notable, though, is their customer service. They truly are Partner Success Managers. Their patience, guidance, and expertise have been instrumental in the success of our campaigns, and they invest a lot of time and effort to ensure we are well-euipped to navigate the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

I am a new GiveCampus user and it can be challenging to navigate the knowledge base on your own and figure out all the different components of getting things set up, but the team compensates for that with their support and responsiveness. Also, there may be minor nuances or (for our purposes) system limitations that we run into, but the team is very receptive to feedback and also provide creative solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use their VMS and social fundraising platform. The VMS has made our volunteer management and volunteer outreach much easier. It makes the process much smoother and quicker for our team and for our volunteers. Their social fundraising platform makes the management of Giving Days a lot easier and brings the day to life, helping to build excitement and track results in real-time. Also, the integration between the VMS and the social fundraising platform is an added bonus that helps energize volunteer efforts around Giving Days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

As a department of 2 using GiveCampus has helped us feel we can accomplish more with less. Some of the most helpful things are the ease of assisting donors in setting up recurring giving, encouraging donors to set up matches or challenges, or encouraging donors to become advocates. Social giving has helped multiply our annual fund giving. And the support we receive on using our products is superb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

Taking the time to set up the pages is the hardest part however, once it's done once, campaigns can be copied. So putting in the time and work in the beginning can help pay off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GiveCampus helps us reach more constituents in a shorter amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Colby Horne of GiveCampus

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus has been extremely beneficial for our institution in executing our giving days and campaigns. Their platform is easy to use and they provide a Partner Success team dedicated to assisting you along the way. Their staff is prompt, and professional, and helps to identify ways in which their platform can better suit your campus needs to be successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

The are still a growing company, but very receptive to feedback. They currently count any soft credit individuals as participation donors which is not an accurate representation of donor count on giving day which needs to be revisited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having an online platform/giving option is just what we needed to step up our fundraising game! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Colby Horne of GiveCampus

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus really listens to the needs/wants of their clients. As an early adopter of GiveCampus, I have seen the company's evolution to the superpower that it is now, but never has their commitment to listening to their partners waivered. They are still just as reponsive now as they were 8+ years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

The main downside that I see to GiveCampus is the price as it is one of the more expensive options out there. I'm now at a smaller shop with a much smaller budget, so I struggle more with the cost, but as they say, you get what you pay for. GiveCampus is a no-brainer investment if your organization is able to fit it into your budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GiveCampus donor forms and crowdfunding platform have been integral to the sucess of our fundraising program. One of the first to offer the mobile wallet options, GiveCampus has helped us reach more student and young alumni donors than ever before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Colby Horne of GiveCampus

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're incredibly grateful to have partners like you who have been with us on this journey. It means a lot to hear that our commitment to listening and responding to your needs has remained strong over the years. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re thrilled to have played a part in your fundraising success. Thank you for your continued trust in GiveCampus!

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

I love your customer support team! Using a new platform can be really stressful, especially when it involves your non-profit's online fundraising. Our first campaign started the week we implemented GiveCampus. I felt like I was asking a thousand questions, but your team handled all of them in a friendly and professional way without making me feel stupid for not figuring things out on my own. When I email a question to Support, I'll receive an answer within minutes. There is so much comfort in knowing that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

The person who initially helped me get started with GiveCampus was disengaged. I was dreading the move to a new platform because of her, but I found out later that she was leaving the company. Rosa and the support team have more than eased any concerns I had in that area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are a small non-profit with a few staff handling a lot of different tasks. GiveCampus has such a strong customer support team that it's like having another co-worker when you need one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

Susan, we are happy to hear that Rosa and the support team has been able to provide you with the assistance you need in a timely manner. Many of us are former fundraisers ourselves and know what it's like to run a small shop with limited resources. We aim to make the fundraising process as smooth as possible for Partners big and small. Thanks for trusting us with your fundraising initiatives.

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

The platform is very easy to use and presents information in an easy to understand format. Their customer support is amazing and we have loved working with our rep to learn more about new products, help us figure out the best solution for our needs, and to review campagins. I love the number of features from giving forms, to campaigns, to texting, to events and that they are all tailored specifically for advancement needs. Give Campus' creative solutions have helped us streamline processes and produce better results. We use their products daily to help us meet our fundraising goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

Some features are still a little cluncky - such as not being able to update a donor email address/phone number in GC without having to do a new data upload file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Streamlined and easy to use donor forms, texting option that meets fedral requirments, campaigns with lots of features for giving days, event registrations tailored to alumni/fundraising needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

Thanks for the stellar review, Sarah! We are pleased to hear that you find GiveCampus easy to use and we humbly agree that our customer support team is "amazing." :) Because you and your team are in the platform daily, we especially appreciate your feedback on features. Our product team is committed to making continuous improvements to provide a seamless user experience and feedback from power users like yourself is absolutely key.

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

I inherited a contract with Givecampus and wasn't sure how to use the product and all the various functionalities. Our school's team went above and beyond to make sure we got up to speed and helped us customize a great giving day social campaign. The support has also helped us so much learn to use all the modules we have access to - thanks for being so responsive, GC team! Once you learn the system, it is easy to use. I"m on Givecampus everyday!~ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

It is definitely more expensive than using a Blackbaud form...and even more expensive than competitior, Boost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

a modern, sleek, frictionless giving experience for our donors. our parents are getting younger and younger and have high expectations for a donation experience. also, it allows us to accept ACN adn digitial wallet, which is huge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

Heather, we're delighted to hear that GiveCampus has been able to provide you with a modern, sleek, and frictionless giving experience for your donors—and that you were able to get up to speed quickly on all the bells and whistles. That's high praise from someone who has their hands in the platform every day. Thank you for sharing your giving day experience.
