No incentive was offered Giveffect has allowed us to have an all-in-one system to track donors, volunteers and in-kind donors. We are also going to begin utilizing the grant tracking that was rolled out earlier this year. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Giveffect is a great all-in-one system for nonprofit organizations. It's comparable to other all-in-one systems on the market. They are continually making updates and effectively communicating with users. They also offer webinars and trainings every other week. The system helps automate manual tasks. Giveffect provides solutions to nonprofits for donor management/CRM, event management, auction management, volunteer management and more! We have been using Giveffect for two years and are continuously learning on how to better optimize the system. #### Cons More automation and easier integration and tracking of marketing emails would be ideal! They are working on these improvements. We also would like to see a better use of the app for fundraisers who are on the go to be able to enter meeting notes and look up contacts through the app. --- ### A great all-in-one nonprofit platform! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lawrence S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Without Giveffect, we would not be able to keep track of our organization's many constituents as easily. Giveffect helps break down internal siloes and increases our ability to fundraise from different areas of our consituency. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros From fundraising and events to volunteers and marketing, we do a lot at our small nonprofit. Giveffect is a great all-in-one platform that allows us to keep all our constituents all in one place. We can see who has donated, attended an event, participated in a program, volunteered--in Giveffect, our record-keeping is shared across departments and helps break down internal silos. We use it every day, and Giveffect's support team is always there to help us if we encounter any issues. Their online chat feature and the frequent check-ins from our account manager (Shout-out to [sensitive content hidden]! He's awesome!) are especially helpful for navigating our database. #### Cons With so many overlapping features, it took some time to wrap my head around how our database was set up (I was not part of the team that first signed up for Giveffect at our organization), and as with any nonprofit CRM, it's easy to clutter up our data. There have also been little limitations here and there that we wish were different about Giveffect, but their support team is great and helping us find workarounds and sending our feedback to their product team to implement changes. #### Reasons for switching to Giveffect I wasn't at the organization when they switched systems but I believe it was because they just outgrew the old system. --- ### Thoughts on Giveffect - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Heather L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Giveffect works to update it's system and add features regularly. It is helpful and encouraging knowing that the system might change, but although it is a great tool to track building relationships there are a lot of areas that need improvement to reduce time spent collecting/gathering data for my company. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 2/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros My company appreciates the CRM of the system. We can see a contact's page and be aware of the events they attended, donations, contact information and basically have a 360 degree view of the person. There are tools in the system to help us build relationships with interested individuals. Recording and processing on line donations is fairly simple, which has been helpful for data processing. #### Cons The software has what appears to be multiple reporting efforts from queries to formal reports, but queries are never consistently working and we tend to only use one to two of the formal reports and manipulate the data in excel. It is much more manual than anticipated. The marketing aspect of give effect is lacking. There are other systems that we use because of the lack of data collected from marketing tools. These other tools and Giveffect do not sync well and so there is a lot of manual effort put in to market materials well and keep good communication with our contacts. --- ### Giveffect is great! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Amanda C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Individual & Family Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered They are constantly making improvements and notifying us of them. They check in with us twice a year, and support is easy to access unlike our previous software! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It does practically everything we need it to do, from donor relations to volunteer management to our annual auction. It's responsive and connects with several other prominent softwares like DonorSearch and Double the Donation! #### Cons The household reporting is a little lacking and needs improvement, but we're communicating to them about this regularly. Also wish the volunteer interface was a little easier for older volunteers to understand & use. #### Reasons for switching to Giveffect Absolutely impossible to access their support. They never even contacted us or probably even noticed when we left. --- ### Full-Featured Platform & Great Support, with Minor Hiccups - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kieran T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Giveffect is a key aspect of what we do and how we measure our success as a nonprofit. It's a powerful tool and full featured, though some features are difficult to use or integrate. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Full featured. Giveffect's customer support, or Client Success Account Managers, are absolutely excellent; I've had great reps who know the system inside and out, with a fast response time. Even though we're a small nonprofit, we're treated like a top-tier and that feels good. The interface is pretty easy to ramp up on, with lots of features, more than we need. The "Mission Control" dashboard has your top stats nicely visualized in graphs and customizable parameter blocks that you can add yourself. I'm able to keep track of donations with notifications as well. Their account managers are available to help train as well as troubleshoot and find solutions. They also will take notes on your feature requests, which I appreciate. #### Cons Some feature workarounds can be clunky; like surveying members, which is possible but integrating form data back into individual records is very problematic when it should be automatic. Donation pages are generated through GE without our domain name, just a generic GE domain. Email services are limited to Mailchimp and Sparkpost, and both need an extra fee. The interface has lots of tabs on the left panel, making it hard to read. The mobile version is just for tickets and point of sale, not viewing records or other functions. #### Reasons for choosing Giveffect Price match and features were better on Giveffect. --- ### Great Customer Service, Hope for New Features - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Christina K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Giveffect has a wonderful customer service team that offers clear steps and workarounds when you present them with a problem. The platform is easy to use, and is great for centralizing contacts. #### Cons Giveffect can feel unwieldy at times. To create campaigns with email reminders, or to update hours, giving, etc. for contacts, it can sometimes feel like you are clicking through a lot of pages. There are also a few features that would be nice to have, such as the option to make campaigns recurring. #### Reasons for switching to Giveffect Not sure - was not on staff when the decision was made. --- ### Comprehensive CRM system review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Melissa J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Individual & Family Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered I began working with Giveffect from the very beginning when we were working on selecting a new CRM. Therefore I have worked with their sales, training, implementation/migration, and now support team. While there is a lot to learn with Giveffect due to how comprehensive the product is it has been an overall good experience with very minor hiccups. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The features that are the most impactful with Giveffect is that the volunteer and donation platform integrate seamlessly. I can easily look at a supporter's account and see how many hours and dollars they have donated to our organization. It's also very helpful that the event software and forms are integrated into the platform. The donation forms are easy to use and you can set up campaigns very quickly that will help increase support for your initiatives. We have also been impressed with the reporting feature - it has allowed us to track a lot of different analytics quickly that we weren't able to do with our previous CRM. #### Cons The feature that I like least about Giveffect is their email marketing - this feature needs serious attention and upgrades. It is lacking a lot of features that would really allow us to communicate better with our volunteers and donors. I'm hopeful they will implement drip campaigns in the near future. You also cannot embed videos into emails which is a huge downfall for storytelling. #### Reasons for switching to Giveffect We switched to Giveffect to get all of our products under one umbrella. We were not able to look at one supporter and see all of their interaction with our organization which was hindering our ability to cultivate and retain donors and volunteers. --- ### Giveffect - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered My overall experience has been great. I have a very lean staff and we all multitask. The software is intuitive. As a busy executive, I can login anywhere to get information. I wish I had more time to spend with the software. Currently I'm working to set up the data structure to better integrate with Quickbooks. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I found Giveffect in an online search when I took the new role of Director for Institutional Advancement at Los Angeles Community College District. In my role, I serve as the Executive Director for the non-profit auxiliary Foundation for the Los Angeles Community Colleges. Giveffect has been a life saver. It is easy to use and I love that the software has email capability, online giving, relationship management tracking and great reports. #### Cons The main downside it that at the basic price level, I don't have access to many of the other great processes. Wealth screening for example. I also wish the Spark Post was integrated a little better. It works well but requires signing into two accounts to manage. #### Reasons for choosing Giveffect I like having the ability to do many business processes in one system. Ease of use was incredibly important. Giveffect's team members were great with onboarding and set up. #### Reasons for switching to Giveffect We used Blackbaud at the previous organization where I worked. It is very complex and required a full-time person to manage the database. --- ### Impressive from the start - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Martin M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered GivEffect has been a tremendous time, energy, and cost savings to us over the past 5 years. I look forward to the new features and functions that they build out over the next 5 as we scale our organization. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We have been with GivEffect from the very beginning in 2015. We took a leap of faith with the platform and have had the opportunity to see it grow over the past 5 years from a simple software to something much more robust that more than fulfills our organizational needs. We are most impressed by the CRM and peer-to-peer fundraising features. With the CRM, there is so much capacity customization, automation, and segmentation. The peer-to-peer fundraising also allows great flexibility and automation all while still aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly. #### Cons The email WYSIWIG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) email editor is lackluster but it's understandable as GivEffect is not an email platform. I anticipate that they will make make the editor more customizable in the future. #### Reasons for choosing Giveffect We chose GivEffect because it met all our requirements at an amazing price point. #### Reasons for switching to Giveffect Blackbaud Kintera was an outdated software that charged a significant amount for the age and clunky features of the product. --- ### We love using Giveffect - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Charleen C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Creating online events is a breeze and looks great! With our old software, we had to pay per online event and the process is antiquated. With Giveffect we can have an idea and create a page for it in no time at all! #### Cons Cutsomizing emails and landing pages is not very user friendly. #### Reasons for switching to Giveffect Etapestry was antiquated and we wanted something easier to use and more with the times. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 59 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/membership-management/giveffect-profile/reviews/) ## Giveffect Popular Comparisons [Donorbox vs Giveffect](https://www.softwareadvice.com/nonprofit/donorbox-profile/vs/giveffect/)[DonorPerfect vs Giveffect](https://www.softwareadvice.com/nonprofit/donorperfect-profile/vs/giveffect/)[Givebutter vs Giveffect](https://www.softwareadvice.com/nonprofit/givebutter-profile/vs/giveffect/)[Zeffy vs Giveffect](https://www.softwareadvice.com/membership-management/giveffect-profile/vs/simplyk/)[Neon CRM vs Giveffect](https://www.softwareadvice.com/membership-management/giveffect-profile/vs/neoncrm/)[Bloomerang vs Giveffect](https://www.softwareadvice.com/nonprofit/bloomerang-profile/vs/giveffect/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/membership-management/giveffect-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Nonprofit Software [Neon CRM](https://www.softwareadvice.com/nonprofit/neoncrm-profile/) **4.3** (620) Recently recommended **79** times [DonorPerfect](https://www.softwareadvice.com/nonprofit/donorperfect-profile/) **4.5** (1477) Recently recommended **73** times [Charityproud](https://www.softwareadvice.com/nonprofit/charityproud-profile/) **4.7** (89) Recently recommended **66** times [GiveSmart](https://www.softwareadvice.com/event-management/givesmart-profile/) **4.5** (211) Recently recommended **60** times Stuck Between Options?
