Pros

“One of the easiest parts is the way the system closes out at the end of the auction and provides us with separate sheets for each bidder listing all the items they "won" and also automatically processing their card payments if they have one on file. ”

“We have a lot of repeat donors, so we can keep their same spot in the auction list and just change out the new image and description. ”

Pros

“If your updating a member that happens to be on page 19, and after you hit update and save, you have to go all the way back to page one and go forward or if you’re on page 30, you go to the end and work backwards. Why can’t you hit Update and save and go right back to the same page you were working on?”

Barbara H.

Directory membership chair

“I liked the comprehensive tools that allow me to receive and track donations, increase donor stewardship and connect with volunteers.”

Ashiya S.

Executive Director

“As a grant writer I mostly use Network for good to enter our donor funds as they come in and to keep track of grants that we receive.”

Maria W.

Grant writer

Cons

“I don't like how we can't better distinguish between a company buying tickets from a person. If Jane Doe is the main contact for Company A, her name shows up instead of the company.”

Christina S.

Grants and Special Events Director

“My challenge with GiveSmart was my own inability to use it effectively in soliciting online donations.”

Ken S.

grant writer

“GiveSmart has been unreliable, poorly supported, difficult to integrate, slow to resolve critical issues, and has forced us to create our own workarounds despite paying thousands for their platform.”

Stephanie T.

President of Friends of Atlantic Beach Elementary

Cons

“Our organization has also been interested in creating donor journeys, but the software does not support the automation necessary to make that happen, so we've been having to manually perform all of the tracking and communication.”

Charyte H.

Administrative Assistant, Program Assistant, Press and Media Director

“This is a perfect example of how a corporate takeover can ruin a once-reliable company. When customer service is replaced by cost-cutting measures and automation, the result is a company that no longer cares about the people who keep them in business. If you want to be treated like a valued customer—not just a support ticket number—choose a company that still offers live, human support.”

Brandon G.

Executive Director

“I know we're running into a few snafus with getting our volunteer sign-up and staff sign-up options transferred over, but I'm not sure the issue as I'm not the one working on it.”
