This product helps us track and recognize our donors and their donations.

We liked to use crowdrise for individual fundraising campaigns centered around 1 specific goal or event.

My best friend passed away & I set up a charity fund in order to get the money for her casket & this app made it so easy to do in my time of grieving.

Some countries may not be accepted so it can be frustrating at times.

At the end of the day, we decided to switch to Classy as it was a more integrated fundraising platform.

Great for individual and team fundraising campaigns.

I did not like how this integrated with our website (or rather the lack thereof).

Something that i did not like about this software is it is basically open to any cause sometimes for inappropriate things.

Fantastically easy way to raise money fir just about any cause.

I have found this product quite easy and simple to use. It is a great software to help you stay updated with charities and donate to causes you believe in.

The qualm I have with GoFundMe is its lack of integration with Facebook.

I love Crowdrise, it used to be 100% free and its allowed you to do more then most other peer-to-peer crowd funding platforms allowed.

Not every worker is rude, but there are a few bad eggs that will be extremely rude and unhelpful.

We have used Crowdrise the last couple of years for our 5k fundraising. I have to say, their customer service and account specialist teams go above and beyond to provide the best service possible.

Our supporters get to be involved in our fundraising and have their own space to do it. The tools that CrowdRise offers are easy to use and assist in soliciting donations from family and friends.

Last year we set up an account and again this year wanted to do the same. With the change in the partnership with GOFundMe and CrowdRise we were limited on what we could do this year.

Solid!!!! A great tool that integrates email, social media and a well thought out brand.

Overall, I believe this is great resource it’s easy to donate funds.

Very good experience so far. Great feature to highlights some ongoing charity which is great.

It’s a great way to bring awareness and to raise funds for various causes and people. I have supported a few causes using this platform.

I have heard that funds are returned to donors if the cause is fraudulent. So that makes me feel a lot better.

Customer service is nice when you are paying for it, otherwise you are pretty much on your own and unable to customize much.

It's great for college students to create peer to peer campaigns for example.

I enjoy how easy it is to use this software. It has components which are recognizable and intuitive, making the system easy to use and manage.

It's important when fundraising to be able to tell your story, both the story of your organization, but also your own personal story. Crowdrise is intuitive, and it is also fun.

We enjoyed the ease of raising funds, how quickly and easily people can access the product. I enjoyed the ability to directly thank contributors.

This is the only site that I trust to use and you really see the community of crowdrise in a positive light. The support is overwhelming and the change and response is instant.

I like that it is an easy way to raise funds and support a cause.

For both users and donors, this software is very straightforward and easy to use. As the user, I was able to customize my campaign with messages, pictures, and videos which added that personal touch.

It was easy to use and send out our message to people.

The best part about GoFundMe is you can pick on your particular issue that you having to let the donors know what you need help with. It gives it more humanistic feel.

A fast and effective reliable way of funding charity and lending assistance in a legal manner is also well known.

I would recommend GiveSmart 100. They are professional and have a great product.

The second best feature are the sponsor ads. We like how they are not only on the homepage but integrated through the software.

There is often fear of losing donations during that down time, but their staff is always more than willing to make things right.

It has been a great relationship for us. We had onsite support for our first event and she was fantastic (and kept me sane).

The account managers are really fantastic and willing to help you through any questions or customizations you want to try.

I love how user friendly it is. It is professional looking and I love that I can manage from my phone.

The customer service at Give Smart was great. Whenever I had issues, placing a call to them was very easy and they were very responsive.

This is a great way to keep your guest up to date with auction information and send text to encourage them to donate.

Overall we have had a very good experience and recommended to others for events.

They have a great costumer support team as well as on site team. Have had nothing but good experiences with their software and team.

Seems to be missing some basic options for customizing.

Give Smart is easy to use and has a great support staff to help you through the entirety of your event and use of the software.

The seating chart functionality is very difficult and inconvenient to use.

We recommend GiveSmart to all of our clients. Overall the experience has been a good one.

Clean presentation and good aesthetics. Great functionality and quick to respond.

We have been looking for a mobile auction software service for a long time and finally found a good one within our price range.

My nonprofit ended up eating the tax that should have been charged to the purchaser (according to the law) and we lost over $1000 having to pay that bill ourselves.

Sad to think they are willing to lose a customer rather than even attempting to work with us.

Similarly, their on site staff for night of events were fantastic and super helpful - they made the service even more valuable.

We are grateful for the ease of pulling comprehensive reports. This allows to easily and accurately move the data into our data collection system.

GiveSmart is an easy way to integrate fully functional auction and bidding management software in any organization.

We enjoy the ease of use and the fact that there are Give Smart team members at our event to assist the guests.

The customer support team is fantastic. I am excited to use the new Champions feature for peer-to-peer fundraising.

Their platform, help team, resources, and webinars will motivate you to do more and be better for your organization and its mission.

It has benefited our nonprofit in many ways;  ease of use, reaching more supporters, and great record keeping.

Great text-to-give feature. Quality customer service.

And when I ran into something I needed help with, the tutorials were great, and if I still needed help, the customer support reps responded very quickly with exactly what I needed.

As an organization that turns over every year, this software has been instrumental in helping us keep the continuity for a successful event.

What I like most about this software is the customization capabilities and just how easy it really is to use.

Reporting is easy, POS/refunds are a dream, and I really like how easy it is to set up every year.
