Longwood loves GiveGab!

It has been an absolute treasure to work with GiveGab to make our day of giving more successful. GiveGab's team truly cares about us as a unique, specific school and they don't utilize cookie cutter models or try to pass us off. They handle our account with great detail and they seek to build lasting relationships. GiveGab is easily the best partner I have ever worked with.

Pros:

It would be easier to tell you what I don't like because GiveGab is just that great! From the full suite website with user-friendly capabilities and a sleek, beautiful design, to the volunteer ambassador functionality and the one-on-one support we get from our partners at GG, we love everything about it!

Cons:

The only area for improvement we saw after our first year was the offline upload functionality. It is a bit too complex, although it has some great aspects. We provided this feedback to our partners are GiveGab, and they listened intently!

Reasons for choosing Bonterra Giving Days

We chose GiveGab because it checked all of the boxes, our product introduction meetings were stellar and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was so knowledgeable about the product. Moreover, we chose the product because we began contract negotiations just as the pandemic really started to rear its head, and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was able to work with the GG finance team to cut us a stellar deal on our pricing when budgets were looking grim. It was personal from the beginning and Longwood's personalized and conscious atmosphere matched that of GiveGab.

Reasons for switching to Bonterra Giving Days

GiveCampus was unresponsive, cold, and refused to adapt to meet the needs of partners. The company had a lack-luster support system that was impersonal. The technology and site design were dated and more like a giving form than a day of giving campaign page, and more than anything, the company never solicited partners for opinions and when we did offer them, they didn't hear them openly.

15 years of experience with giving days

Honestly the stress over the lack of ability to manage Stripe the week before the main event soured the whole experience. That, coupled with the way customer service responds is making me question if there are other providers that can work.

Pros:

Features and functions - P2P, matches/challenges. Interface with the philanthropy hub for year-round capacity as well. this makes my users more comfortable in the platform. Confetti!!!! Leaderboard sorting by org, donors or dollars is great. My PM is great ([sensitive content hidden]).

Cons:

Stripe - as mentioned took out a lot of orgs just before and during giving event. Can there be a moratorium on active giving days? Customer service - needs to bump up when giving day is active, not just on the main days. I had lots of people who could not get help while our giving was open. And customer service - even my PM - seems to approach each call from the standpoint that the caller did something wrong. I'm sure that's usually the case, but not always. My nonprofits really felt this way. They and the donors don't understand Bonterra terminology, they're only in this a couple of months or times a year. There needs to be an attitude change.

Reasons for choosing Bonterra Giving Days

Price, P2P, matches, ease of setting up a profile; ability (at the time) to centralize donations; pay-out process; donor reporting

Reasons for switching to Bonterra Giving Days

Site-wide failures two years in a row and lack of modern bells and whistles

Vendor Response

Hi Jackie, thank you for your valuable feedback from your 15 years of giving day experience. We're glad our P2P features, philanthropy hub, and leaderboard have improved your experience. Your insights on areas like Stripe integration and customer service during peak times are invaluable as we work to enhance the platform and will be shared with our product and support teams. We're dedicated to making Bonterra Giving Days more reliable and user-friendly for our nonprofit partners.

Not great for P2P Fundraising

From the beginning, we were very excited to use GiveGab. The company had just been bought by EveryAction whose software we already use. We were hoping for future integrations that might mean more streamlined P2P fundraising. We met with the salesperson who specialized in the P2P fundraising aspects of GiveGab and were told a number of things which we were very excited about. We decided to go with GG, but after paying the fees and starting the setup for our P2P event, we realized a lot of what we had been told was not true. We reached out to support to connect with a salesperson to clarify some aspects of the platform. Support insisted that they were able to answer our questions. They weren't. Since support is extremely slow in responding to requests it took 3 weeks of back and forth and a dozen requests to speak to the sales team to get connected with sales. The new salesperson said that she didn't know much about the P2P functions and wasn't able to help. They let me know that the salesperson I had originally met with was no longer with the company. They also stated that they had no sales people that focused on the P2P aspects and that it was up to users to DYI. This was surprising considering the P2P salesperson I worked with had emailed me a video saying she specialized in P2P. In the end, GG basically chalked it up to the original salesperson not knowing what they were doing. A company is responsible for its salespeople regardless.

Pros:

There's not a lot that I like about it. I suppose it's relatively easy to setup an P2P fundraising event for folks who have little to no experience doing so.

Cons:

Developers could improve a few aspects: -On most websites in 2022, there's a "sign in" link on every page across the site. On GiveGab, the only place you'll find a sign in link is on the home page givegab.com. If you're visiting an event page, fundraising page, etc...you'll not have the option to login. You'll have to go back to givegab.com to login and then navigate back to whatever page you were on - which is very confusing once you're signed in as an admin. -Fees are relatively high compared to other P2P fundraising platforms. Between GiveGab and Stripe, they take nearly 10% from donations. Granted there is an option for donors to cover fees. -Payout reports are bare and basic. To get an accurate accounting report, you'll have to combine three reports: donations report, registration report, and payout report. You'd think with such high fees, you'd have to do less work. Nope. -Support takes days to respond to inquiries and requests. When meeting with the sales person, they promised phone support but really the only option is chat support. And by chat..it's not a live chat because it's hours/days between responses.

Cons:

There is a limit on some of the unique ways you can showcase your page. It would be great to have more options to what you can do with giving page.

Reasons for choosing Bonterra Giving Days

It was the most cost effective option we reviewed. It was offering all the things we needed and since we had yet to host a giving day we were new to the market.

Pros:

What GiveGab does well, They do exceptionally well. Their online / social media and P2P fundraising functions are not only plug and play, but they also give you the tools to macimize the effectiveness of each campaign and think through best practices.

Cons:

Unfortunately, there is little control over accepting volunteer hour entered by a volunteer, entering in kind donations, creating physical mailings to constituents or ticketing an event. A lack of some basic features makes makes the platform a supplement vs a all in one CRM.

Vendor Response

Hi Bryan, Thank you for leaving a review. You make a valid point about our CRM feature, which is newer and not as robust as our fundraising and engagement tools. We're currently working on ways to supplement what we're lacking in this product area. We'll keep you updated and truly appreciate your honest feedback.
