HelloFund and Non-Profits

My experience with HelloFund has been wonderful. As I have rolled this product out at two separate organizations, I have a great working relationship with the support team at HelloFund. they are always on hand to help build out pages, work on upgrades and are always soliciting feedback to improve the product.

PROS

This software is great value for money. There is very little out of pocket expense to the organisations that I use it with. As well as this School I also use it with another volunteer organization that I am a Board Member on. It is very easy to use and is being improved upon regularly. for fundraising, it offers the donor to cover the cost of the transaction. Most do, which lowers the not- for - profits overhead for event fundraising as well as for annual funds. Individual fundraisers can also be set up - for example student lead fundraisers - each student can have their own fundraising page which links to the main page, and they can advocate on behalf of your school, soccer team, or other NFP.

CONS

There are some integrations and reports that I would like to be able to pull that are currently not available.

Reason for choosing HelloFund

They are local, personalized support, inexpense and ease of use.

Reasons for switching to HelloFund

Greater Giving was much more expensive.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much, Bedina!! We are continually working on updgrades for the platform. Keep us updated on any features or reports so we can create a better fundraising platform!

Highly suggested!

PROS

This is a very straightforward donor platform. It is easy to use and if help is ever needed for our donation or event pages, customer service is immediately available. They say you get what you pay for, but with this extremely affordable platform, we get far more than what we pay. It's user friendly, provides easy access to donor reports, integration was simple, and customer service is so incredibly helpful. There's so much to like about HelloFund there isn't just one we like the most.

CONS

I do wish minor aesthetic aspects of this software was a little more advanced but regardless, it gets the job done - and well.

Reason for choosing HelloFund

Communication with customer service and resolving issues were more time consuming. HelloFund has better customer service and is far more affordable than Classy for a small nonprofit organization such as ourselves.

Vendor Response

Thank you so much, Trista! We love working with you and working hard to develop a better solution for you and wonderful organizations around the country to fundraise more efficiently!

Easy to use fundraising software for personal fundraising campaigns

We have used HelloFund for our past two fundraising campaigns that we hold in conjunction with our annual Tackle Pet Hunger pet food drive. We've had very good experiences with setting up the campaigns each year. The first year I had a few questions, which were quickly and satisfactorily answered by HelloFund. They have been very good to work with!

PROS

HelloFund is very easy to set up and navigate. It's very user friendly and intuitive and integrates with Stripe, which we already use for payment processing.

CONS

Overall, HelloFund is a great choice for fundraising campaigns. The biggest drawback is that you must specifically invite or manually add individual fundraisers to set up pages for your campaign. There is no easy way for an individual to see the campaign and decide to set up a page without contacting the organization or being invited in the first place. This hasn't been a problem for us, but it definitely is an area that could be improved.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for your feedback, Jill! We are working on some updates to our fundraising platform and this is great information for us to create a better product.

HelloFund Review

I can't say enough good things about HelloFund and its incredible staff. They listen to their clients and understand their needs. They have created user friendly, turn-key fundraising platforms that make it easy for nonprofits to raise funds!

PROS

The functionality, the ease of using the software, their customer service and the look/feel of templates available for the user to use.

CONS

That we still have to manually log donations into our main database as we don't use HelloFund as our database hub.

Reason for choosing HelloFund

customization, pricing, relationship

Vendor Response

Thank you so so much, Tania!!! Please let us know if there is anything else we can do and hope you and your fam are well!

HelloFund is Great!

I love HelloFund! I think their customer service is unmatched. And there is something to be said about having a LOCAL company nearby to help with anything you need. They are great to work with!

PROS

I really love the dashboard - it is very user friendly and easy to manipulate from an Administrator perspective. Auction items are incredibly easy to upload and real-time changes are easy as well. The donor check-in process is also very user friendly! The reports are also great and thorough and the HelloFund Team is wonderful to work with - big fans! :)

CONS

The only struggle I have had is with multiple events back-to-back: sometimes logos from previous events get left on new pages, confirmations text messages with previous event language, etc., as well as getting the reports I needed due to having changed over to a new event. However, the team is always quick to help and correct any issue!

Reason for choosing HelloFund

HelloFund had way better customer service and it felt like they wanted our business more than the other guys.

Vendor Response

Thank you so so much, Audrey! We love working with y'all!
