About Harness

Harness Giving is a comprehensive donation management software that has been designed to help non-profit organizations streamline their fundraising efforts and increase donor engagement. With its cloud-based platform, teams can create customized donation forms, build fundraising campaigns, and interact with donors in a unified and organized way.

One of the key features of Harness Giving is the round-up donation program, which allows end-users to automatically donate spare change from all their online and in-store transactions. This makes it easy for supporters to give back to the organization without having to make a conscious effort to do so.

The software also enables two-way communication between administrators and donors, allowing for personalized updates and targeted messaging. Fundraising teams can display real-time donation notifications on their websites (Social Proof), create mobile-optimized checkout forms (Donations Forms), build customized donation links (Campaigns), and launch subscription-based campaigns (Monthly Giving).

Supporters can access personalized donor profiles, manage monthly gifts, select preferred payment methods, track donation history, change privacy...

Helpful Support & Easy Implementation

Pros:

Harness is incredibly user-friendly and is backed by an amazing support team, who helped us easily implement the tools for success.

Cons:

Because there are certain campaigns we don't wish to automatically include in our drop down options, that starts getting a little complicated, but the Harness team is always there to help if we try to get too advanced and make things complicated for ourselves. Harness does everything they can to keep things simple, which we like.

Reasons for choosing Harness

We had a hard time implementing Raiser's Edge's merchant services and had little help from their support team. Harness came in eager to help and have never faltered in their incredible support.

Vendor Response

Hey Jenelle, it's awesome to hear that you're so satisfied with Harness Giving! It's great to see how easy it is to use and how helpful the support team has been in implementing it for your organization's success. It's understandable that sometimes it can get a little complicated, but it's fantastic to know that the Harness team is always ready to lend a hand and keep things simple. It's also interesting to hear that you considered Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT, but had a hard time with their merchant services and support team. I'm glad to hear that Harness was able to step in and provide the incredible support that you needed. And it's fantastic to see how monthly giving has been made easy for your donors, and how the text-to-give option has been a great solution. Thank you for being a long-time customer and for entrusting us with your fundraising needs. We are grateful for your support and look forward to continuing to work with you in the future! Warmest regards, Simonne from Harness Giving

Harness provides core community engagement

We are pleasantly surprised by how simple and useful Harness is for engaging our community donors. We value the ability to message them, use media to present our programs to them, and give them a better window into our operations so they feel that their donations are having an impact.

Pros:

Having reactive content for people's contributions is important for helping show our gratitude. Implementing Harness on our website was extremely straightforward and has helped us with our outreach.

Cons:

Not being able to import donor history from other donation management software to help make the transition feel less like a new chapter.

Reasons for switching to Harness

We felt optimistic that Harness would be a more engaging software platform for showing gratitude and being more in the 21st century with our donors and community members.

Pays for Itself

I have been nothing but impressed from the first sales call. The reps have been helpful and just perfectly responsive. Initial integrations were fantastic, with one-page explanations to kickoff particular aspects of the platform. I know that if I need help with any campaign, technical issue, or fundraising need, I can call the Harness team and schedule a support meeting that surpasses the standard.

Pros:

The donor interface is incredibly designed and user-friendly. The elegance of integrations and presentation makes it look like we have a dedicated team of professionals running our digital marketing, but it's just Harness and our office staff. Harness has allowed us to spontaneously capture donors through dedicated campaigns, as well as social media and website platforms. Further, as a community intermediary, we have been able to nimbly launch various cause campaigns with professionalism and speed.

Cons:

There is nothing I dislike. Everything is functional and continually improving.

Reasons for switching to Harness

Mobile Cause was too expensive and we weren't able to integrate it as easily into our work. After seeing the sales call for Harness, I was so impressed. The selling point was the round-up giving option.

Vendor Response

Hey there, Nikie! WOW, we can't thank you enough for your glowing review of Harness Giving! It sounds like our platform has been a game-changer for your organization, and we couldn't be happier to hear that. We're thrilled that you find our donor interface to be incredibly designed and user-friendly, and we love that our integrations and presentation have helped your organization look like a team of digital marketing professionals (even though it's just you and your office staff). And the fact that you've been able to capture donors through dedicated campaigns, social media, and website platforms? AMAZING. We're especially glad to hear that you love our round-up giving option - it's one of our favorites too! And we're so happy that our sales team and support staff have been able to help you with your campaigns, technical issues, and fundraising needs. We take pride in providing top-notch customer service, and it's great to hear that our team has lived up to your expectations. Lastly, we can't thank you enough for your loyalty to Harness Giving. We're committed to constantly improving our platform and adding new features to better serve our customers (like you!), and we're excited to continue our partnership with you.

Why Choose Harness

Why Choose Harness? Like many not-for-profits, Support Connection must raise all its own funds while keeping fundraising costs to a minimum. We are an extremely busy organization that offers free breast and ovarian cancer support services nationwide. Every donation and every dollar count. It is important for our donors to donate easily and securely. We want people to have the opportunity to share why they are donating since many of our donors are giving to us because we have helped them or a loved one. Last year, we were struggling to find a product that was affordable and accomplished our goals. Then came Harness. We were very impressed at how they reached out and gave an excellent presentation. It was easy to follow and not full of marketing buzz words and fluff. The customer service continues to be excellent. We made the wise decision to sign on to Harness. The product is affordable. We raised enough money in the first two months to pay for the service for a year! We love the ease of donating, the monthly donation option and the way the receipts include any message written by the donor! We like the concept of the monthly Round-Up program but our organization must come up with a strategy to promote it. Last, but not least, the Campaign option is fabulous! It is easy to set up and track the donations. We recently had a company sign on to fundraise for us because of our easy-to-use campaign feature. Reporting features are easy to use and give us all info we need

Partnering with Harness is a grand slam homerun.

Harness is one of the most innovative and customer focused companies with whom I've ever collaborated. I would recommend Harness to any non-profit organization. The program simply delivers! And we've not even reached our potential with what we can do with the Harness capabilities. As we grow, I know Harness will help us every step of the way. The monthly giving and round-up technology is amazing and provides our donors with a very accessible way to give that is very engaging.

Pros:

The team at Harness completely gets that a major component of fundraising is the quality of the donor experience (Ease of use, proper stewardship, and engagement with the charity). Harness is helping us build more than just donation forms for every type of giver, they're helping us change how we connect with our donors. Harness customer service and support makes us feel like they want to help us be as successful as possible. I've not experienced that level of service and support and commitment to innovation like I have with Harness.

Cons:

There's not much to dislike, but if we've ever had an issue with functionality, the Harness team has always been very attentive to collaborate with us to address the problem and make it better.

Reasons for choosing Harness

Ultimately, the choice was pretty simple. Harness' innovative round up technology was unlike anything I've ever seen and its sustained giving options were better than the competitors and the people all the way up to top leadership of Harness provide the very best support to me and my team of professional fundraisers. They get an A+!

Pros:

Through Harness, we are able to easily communicate with our donors through engaging text messages, giving them live updates on our work. This has been a fantastic stewardship tool for us. Donors also love that they can log into their account and capture all of their tax information right away when they need it.

Cons:

We use DonorPerfect for our CRM and the one challenge we have had with Harness importing directly into DonorPerfect has been the duplicates. We regularly have to check for duplicates, as Harness use the email address as the unique identifier, whereas DonorPerfect uses the Donor ID as the unique identifier. When a donor changes their email address in Harness, it creates a duplicate record for them in DonorPerfect. Our team has to stay on top of this.

Vendor Response

Hi Mary, we're so glad you are making the most of (and enjoying) our donor stewardship tools! I have taken note of your duplicates issue between Harness and DonorPerfect and have sent it to our tech teams to look into. Thank you for being a loyal customer of Harness, we look forward to continuing to provide you great customer service and help you grow your monthly donor-base ��
