    Pros
    Giveffect has been a life saver. It is easy to use and I love that the software has email capability, online giving, relationship management tracking and great reports.
    Our focus is now on building better relationships with our donors rather than fighting with a system to enter gift information. Giveffect has been absolutely wonderful for our team.
    It’s been great to experience Giveffect’s growth over the past few years.
    Cons
    My organization struggles with slowness on Giveffect, regardless of which computer we are using.
    Also, the old system had really bad customer service, we could never get any questions answered and sometimes couldn't even get a response.
    The biggest problems are not with features but with functionality.

    Incredible All-in-One Platform and a Fantastic Team of Caring Professionals!

    Reviewed 10 months ago

    We have connections to a number of nonprofits struggling to balance time-consuming tasks with opportunities to be more involved with their cause. Many of the leaders at these organizations have seen the value in Giveffect’s platform and are on the road to implementing the software into their day-to-day operations.

    Pros

    Giveffect is a powerful all-in-one platform that streamlines the coordination and management of nonprofit organizations so staff and volunteers can focus on making a positive impact. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another tool out there with such a comprehensive set of tools specifically designed to serve the nonprofit industry. But what really makes this platform stand out is the people behind the scenes. It’s been a pleasure working with the Giveffect team. Their desire to help nonprofits make a difference drives them to continually serve their clients at a higher level.

    Cons

    Nothing at all to dislike. We are excited about the platform and have found that Giveffect checks all the boxes to solve some of the toughest challenges nonprofits face when it comes to collaboration, data fluidity, donor tracking, and much more.

    Comprehensive CRM system review

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    I began working with Giveffect from the very beginning when we were working on selecting a new CRM. Therefore I have worked with their sales, training, implementation/migration, and now support team. While there is a lot to learn with Giveffect due to how comprehensive the product is it has been an overall good experience with very minor hiccups.

    Pros

    The features that are the most impactful with Giveffect is that the volunteer and donation platform integrate seamlessly. I can easily look at a supporter's account and see how many hours and dollars they have donated to our organization. It's also very helpful that the event software and forms are integrated into the platform. The donation forms are easy to use and you can set up campaigns very quickly that will help increase support for your initiatives. We have also been impressed with the reporting feature - it has allowed us to track a lot of different analytics quickly that we weren't able to do with our previous CRM.

    Cons

    The feature that I like least about Giveffect is their email marketing - this feature needs serious attention and upgrades. It is lacking a lot of features that would really allow us to communicate better with our volunteers and donors. I'm hopeful they will implement drip campaigns in the near future. You also cannot embed videos into emails which is a huge downfall for storytelling.

    Very Disappointed in Customer Service

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    Since the membership system in Giveffect isn't as robust as we need, it is not the all-in-one solution we expected.

    Pros

    This software is easy to use, intuitive, and the knowledge base and on boarding are well done. After orientation and with the help of customer support, our team quickly got a handle on our average tasks. The CRM features are very easy to get at a glance overviews of donors & I feel that we have a better handle on our prospecting since switching to this software.

    Cons

    The data migration progress for us was glitchy in our membership. Their automation was one of the reasons we wanted to switch, however, their automation when it doesn't work correctly can be a nightmare. During migration, their system encountered a glitch that ended up emailing over 700 donors with information about their membership expiring, even when it wasn't. While you're given a 2 week review...

    Giveffect

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    My overall experience has been great. I have a very lean staff and we all multitask. The software is intuitive. As a busy executive, I can login anywhere to get information. I wish I had more time to spend with the software. Currently I'm working to set up the data structure to better integrate with Quickbooks.

    Pros

    I found Giveffect in an online search when I took the new role of Director for Institutional Advancement at Los Angeles Community College District. In my role, I serve as the Executive Director for the non-profit auxiliary Foundation for the Los Angeles Community Colleges. Giveffect has been a life saver. It is easy to use and I love that the software has email capability, online giving, relationship management tracking and great reports.

    Cons

    The main downside it that at the basic price level, I don't have access to many of the other great processes. Wealth screening for example. I also wish the Spark Post was integrated a little better. It works well but requires signing into two accounts to manage.

    Impressive from the start

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    GivEffect has been a tremendous time, energy, and cost savings to us over the past 5 years. I look forward to the new features and functions that they build out over the next 5 as we scale our organization.

    Pros

    We have been with GivEffect from the very beginning in 2015. We took a leap of faith with the platform and have had the opportunity to see it grow over the past 5 years from a simple software to something much more robust that more than fulfills our organizational needs. We are most impressed by the CRM and peer-to-peer fundraising features. With the CRM, there is so much capacity customization, automation, and segmentation. The peer-to-peer fundraising also allows great flexibility and automation all while still aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.

    Cons

    The email WYSIWIG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) email editor is lackluster but it's understandable as GivEffect is not an email platform. I anticipate that they will make make the editor more customizable in the future.
