Executive Director

After participating in the One Cause University, I felt very accomplished and capable. What I love the most, is the seemingly endless supply of functionality.

The reports are  amazing and easy to access. The ease of designing your event page is wonderful.

Everything we needed to host a creative and virtual fundraising event was included. Customer support was superb, and we even hired a Virtual Event Manager who was REMARKABLE.

Contacting our supporters with text messaging is amazing and setting up multiple fundraisers has been fantastic. It's easy to use once we understand it.

Development Coordinator 

They are great with online auctions, they help give you insight and ideas to help you reach your goal.

Senior Events Manager

I have been very pleased with OneCause and have been a loyal customer for 8 years.

Development Officers

Their customer service is amazing and extremely helpful. When you offer suggestions, they actually listen and try to implement.

Special Events Coordinator

Our peer-to-peer Walk was praised for being a interactive, exciting way to build networks and fundraise for the Zoo for an extended period of time.

Development Manager

Both were so awesome and truly easy once you figured out the background. Both very different from each other but both helped make things so stream lined and bring in money for us.

Director of Development

OneCause's event software is very user friendly, adaptable, and highly functional for our needs. We also deeply appreciate how responsive they are on the customer service side of things.

Development Director

Appreciated the reduced event cost this year. Loved the virtual help day-of.

Senior Director of Advancement Services

It is easy to use and the end user experience has been wonderful.

Developement

They were a little perturbed when they found out about the reserve after they had already been bidding.

Philanthropy Manager

Between the seamless silent auction set-up process and the AI integrated to help draft lot descriptions, we were able to get the auction (with over 110 lots) up and running in just 2 days.

Donors often complain that they cannot zoom-in on the item, so they don't know what they are purchasing, except for what is listed in the description.

President

The live auction item is awful. It is not intuitive and easy to use.

Director of Development & Communications

I hope the new VEC is more set-up friendly, and will integrate more of the OneCause products into one location.

There was only one issue that maybe can be fixed that did create a problem but with the event manager we were able to work it out.

GiveSmart

Advancement Director

GiveSmart is very intuitive and easy to use. Couple that with awesome, supportive customer service, and this software is a winner.

Managing Director

I love that I can use this all all-in-one for an event. The best feature is the text-to-give as well as the live thermometer that you can use at an event to encourage people to help meet the goal.

Chief Development Officer

We had only a few weeks to turn our auction virtual and GiveSmart was super user friendly and easy to set up. Donors loved how easy it was to bid and watch on items.

Tech Support

The only problem is that we do not have an easy connection between GiveSmart & our accounting system. Our Treasurer has trouble with what she receives from GiveSmart.

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

Development Associate

We love being able to customize many aspects of the platform to fit our fundraising needs and like that we have endless possibilities and uses for the platform.

Campaign Manager

Our team was able to get up to speed quickly with the help of the GiveSmart team, and their support was fantastic.

Kindervelt City President

Good experience...they are good about helping you find a way to do things.

Co-Chair and Board Member

The past two years have been a good experience with Give Smart. The support team and the Customer Service Teams are professional and extremely helpful.

Special Events Manager

Our experience with GiveSmart has been extremely positive and I would (and do) recommend them to others.

Area Director

Ease of use, which leads to more efficient check-in at events and greater volume and amount of donations.

Sr Manager, Leadership Events

I like how easy it is to upload and edit auction items and do small customizations to the page to display information and even things like sponsor logos.

Love the ease and user-friendly app. Also, our first year utilizing the mobile app netted us a 20 percent increase In auction revenue.

Development Coordinator

One thing that our donors had trouble with was the checking out process.

Unfortunately, in a virtual setting, it seems less risky to run the site and auction yourself on the day of the event.

You cant update the subject lines either to get rid of the "NOTIFICATION" verbiage and thus the emails keep going to SPAM.

Deveopment Director

We were able to track all Bids and Items quickly and easily. Many people utilized the self check-out which saved us time and money.

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