Giveffect has been extremely beneficial for our non-profit charity. We could not be happier. The format itself is amazing and allows for us to communicate with our donors in many ways.

What do you dislike about Giveffect?

Sometimes I do wish we could talk to a rep instead of messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allow for phone support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There are so many ways we now use Giveffect. Between emails, tickets, links, rewards and everything in between. I learn more each time I log in, really. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Giveffect?

GivEffect has been able to link all of our development and volunteer needs together in one database. We have enjoyed being able to see everything at a glance, offer online training and sign up for our volunteers as well as online portals for our donors to monitor their records. Our staff also enjoys the ease of using the system and how everything is there if you need something from online training videos to chat with a person. The cost is also great for our budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Giveffect?

The one area that needs to be improved is the administration settings to allow more control over what your users can do and see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are working on the flow in which a gift is entered as well as the admin settings for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Client Success of Giveffect

We are so thrilled to hear that you find Giveffect to be a great value and are able to easily utilize so many of the features available! Thank you for your feedback on adding even more depth to the admin settings. This is something our product team will be working on! Thank you for taking the time to review Giveffect!

What do you like best about Giveffect?

Even though I have search through other options of CRM databases for our nonprofit, GivEffect is just one place that can do everything we need. There's no hassle with multiple accounts; everything is built right in. It makes managing our contacts and reaching out so much easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Giveffect?

The website builder isn't my favorite thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Scheduled, constant communication with our donors and making it personalized using gathered data from click and open rates. It causes the donor to keep coming back, or re-engage them again after a lapse in giving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Client Success of Giveffect

Thank you, Kasey, for sharing your experience! Wow! We are so happy to hear how you are leveraging Giveffect to successfully increase donor retention and re-engage lapsed donors using automated, customized communication with your supporters. Amazing! And we love to hear yu find it very easy to use. Thanks again for sharing!

What do you like best about Giveffect?

That you can create a query for anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Giveffect?

Not all features are customizable, and that feature would be nice (especially for campaign pages). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Giveffect:

I think that it's a great platform that is always evolving to make it even more helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had a problem with no good place to keep our Development team data (volunteer info, grant tracking, donor database, etc). It's been so great to be able to access this content all in one platform and link those aspects together to create a clearer picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Client Success of Giveffect

Wow, Andrea! You are moving mountains at Isabel's House and we are so thrilled to partner with you to make an even greater impact on the community. We are elated to hear that you are utilizing so many areas of the software for that full 360 degree view fo your supporters and constituents. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for taking the time to review Giveffect!

What do you like best about Giveffect?

Reservations work well for the most part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Giveffect?

In terms of volunteer management, the database is not user friendly. The calendar is difficult to read, the fields auto clear any time you change something, the terms change depending on what part of the interface you're using, there are a multitude of things that could be added as options to make things easier for new people. I have quite the list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We added a better way to track volunteer hours. In doing so, we eliminated a fair amount of the problems my department was facing and replaced them with a new set of problems. It seems great for fundraising though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Client Success of Giveffect

We always appreciate thoughtful and honest reviews, and they help us guide our future product enhancements and feature updates. we are always adding new features based on our clients' needs and our product team is constantly reviewing those requests.

Your feedback helps us prioritize our product updates. Thanks again!

What do you like best about Giveffect?

integration of database, fundraising campaigns, email and web management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Giveffect?

the email/newsletter design options are pretty meager, and the WYSIWYG web design elements are not very robust either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Giveffect:

Think about what you need. If you need one tool to handle almost all of your digital needs, this is a great option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

managing event attendance. Tracking donations. Easy and quick campaign set ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Giveffect?

Giveffect is a living, growing softwre. Improvements/updates that truly improve its functionality are consistently rolled out every month, and customer feedback/requests are always well-received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Giveffect?

We've run into some difficulty automatically issuing/distributing receipts for in-kind donations. It's still much more efficient than the donation software we were using before, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having volunteers, donors, and all other contacts housed in one database makes maintaining accurate data and running comprehensive reports a breeze. The ease and cleanliness of the website builder is a huge asset to our organization that can't necessarily employ someone who specializes in that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Client Success of Giveffect

Thank you for taking the time to review Giveffect! We're happy to hear how Giveffect has been helpful for your organization. We very much appreciate your note about our consistent product updates based on client feedback and requests. This is very important to us and we cannot do it without your support. We are thrilled to hear you find Giveffect easy to use and powerful for your organization. Thank you for your partnership!

What do you like best about Giveffect?

GivEffect is very easy to use and has all the functionalities our organization needs. It is light years ahead of the previous system we used and for a far most cost-effective price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Giveffect?

The WYSIWYG email builder system in GivEffect leaves something to be desired but it is understand that they are not in the email marketing business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The biggest reason we use GivEffect is the peer-to-peer fundraising, its ease of use, the aesthetically pleasing front-end features. The CRM is also very detailed and comprehensive in its fields, reporting options, and querying feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Client Success of Giveffect

Martin, thank you for taking the time to leave this review! We're happy to hear how much success you've had using Giveffect, and particularly your nonprofit's use of the peer-to-peer fundraising, CRM, and reporting options. We appreciate your comment regarding the WYSIWYG design element for email campaigns and have passed this on to our product team. Thanks, Martin, for your helpful comments and for trusting Giveffect with your nonprofit technology needs.
