HelloFund has been an absolute game-changer for me and my event planning endeavors.[sensitive content hidden], in particular, has been an incredible asset to work with. His efficiency in completing tasks and his ability to assist with messaging and closing out projects is unparalleled. I have had the pleasure of collaborating with him on multiple events over the years, and he consistently delivers exceptional results. If you're looking for a reliable partner who can help you navigate the complexities of fundraising, HelloFund is the way to go!

PROS

I am incredibly impressed with HelloFund. Their software has simplified the entire fundraising process and made it so much more efficient. The user-friendly interface and robust features have made managing our campaigns a breeze. With HelloFund, we have experienced higher engagement, increased donations, and better overall results. They are the true pros of fundraising software!

CONS

The only downside is that I wish I had the opportunity to work with them more frequently.

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!

Terrific experience with HelloFund!

Given the fact that I was the sole fundraiser on a massive black tie Gala, I took full advantage of the knowledgeable staff resources at Hello Fund. My questions were answered quickly and support was always available.

PROS

Customer service was excellent. We loved having two reps at the event to help manage check-in. The user interface was smooth. [sensitive content hidden] are great to work with.

CONS

There are some product enhancements I would like to see but the team is open to suggestions.

Reason for choosing HelloFund

The in-person event support was a game changer for us.

Reasons for switching to HelloFund

Our former online auction company was too bid and decentralized to give us quality customer support. For two years in a row, the rented credit card readers did not work and we were not reimbursed.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much, Susannah! Great to work with you on the Gala and looking forward to the event in the Fall of 2024!

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.

Best Software for multiple reasons!

I have used HelloFund on multiple events with different organizations and each time it's easy to use and customize to fit each event's needs! Great customer support before & day-of event. Love that I can manage so many aspects of the event from one page. I cannot recommend HelloFund enough. It's a revolutionary service.

PROS

The ease of use cannot be compared. There is so much customer support that you never have to question if something is done wrong.

CONS

I honestly can't thing of a single thing I don't like.

Reasons for switching to HelloFund

HelloFund provides so services that I no longer needed those expensive and difficult to deal with vendors.

Vendor Response

Thank you so so much, Rachel!!! Love working with you and look forward to many many more in the future!
