### "Ease of use"

March 9, 2021

5.0

It was great working with the team. Their ability to provide recommendations, best practices, and customize the application to suit our needs.

Pros

Ability to setup new campaigns and forms. Admin responsibilities such as querying a transaction, reviewing history and payment disbursements. Flexible reporting Convenient to issue/record refunds.

Cons

Ability to record or view reports on donor initiated disputes and outcomes of disputes. Limited flexibility with notification settings per form/campaign. Technical documentation (but more than made up by a knowledgeable, friendly team)

### "GiveGab"

April 16, 2019

4.0

Overall, I enjoyed using GiveGab. I really enjoyed the creativity that comes with it, but it was not compatible with our current software and so we only used it in a free trial and won't be using it in the future.

Pros

I love that this software is modern, easy to use, and tech forward. You can create really beautiful platforms to encourage donations using GiveGab.

Cons

Unfortunately, we tried to use this platform with our existing software and it didn't work out. Hopefully, either of the softwares can learn to work better with others down the line.

### "Enjoyed using GiveGab as a part of Idaho Gives day"

June 25, 2018

4.0

It was very helpful in allowing us to be a part of Idaho Gives day, which was a new source of funds and awareness for our organization.

Pros

The staff was very responsive whenever we needed help. It was easy to see the funds that had been raised and to export the donor data so that we could follow up and thank them.

Cons

We struggled a little bit with the fact that you have to link a bank account to the system (we would have preferred a check) but the staff were very helpful in finding a way for us to work with our Home office to get the bank account info we needed.

### "We appreciate the support and use of this to help non-profit organizations, but the software can be "

June 28, 2018

4.0

Fundraising for our organization.

Pros

We like that it has great potential for use, and can be used in a variety of ways. And that it supports non-profit work and allows another platform for outreach and advocacy. Appearance, versatility, potential for future use.

Cons

Can be hard to navigate, confusing to use and not clear how to use certain applications. It can be ahrd to load graphics and photos, and to understand how to use it to its fullest potential.

### "It was positive. I would like to understand the connection between Gift Gab and nonprofit efforts. "

June 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

The software was easy to use and seemed to be intuitive. It seemed to interface with other outreach efforts easily enough (Constant Contact).

Cons

We had a difficult time sorting through some of the features, but we have not had that much time and experience with it. This was the 3rd year of using it for our NH Gives Campaign and Giving Tuesday Campaign. Somehow the automated thank was pulled from last year-we are not sure how we missed that.

### "It was used friendly and I'm looking forward to using it for the future"

April 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

It was user friendly...the programs seem to have a lot of features that would be helpful to our needs. I would like to learn more about the options that could help build our page up.

Cons

Some of the content was hard for me to navigate as a novice. I needed a little more simplified instructions to direct me to where I should go to find practical examples. Also had a little trouble figuring out how to download videos and pictures to different areas of the page

June 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

This works well for giving days; it's got great integration for peer to peer fundraisers; the interface is user friendly

Cons

It's a bit expensive for general use; it's a good donation platform if your organization just needs that one feature, though.

5.0

### "We have used GiveGab the past two years during our State Giving Day. "

June 21, 2018

5.0

This product was easy to use for an online Giving Day fundraiser. We were pleased with the ability to share the fundraising link on Facebook and Twitter.

Pros

This software is easy to use, and keeps the organizational information from year to year. This is beneficial and time-saving.

Cons

Sometimes is it a little difficult to remember where certain features are located. The Peer to Peer function was a bit challenging to get started, but seemed to work well once it was set up.

### "GiveGab review"

October 6, 2020

4.0

customer service is wonderful, any time I had a hiccup or just a question I was helped almost right away.

Pros

Easy to use, plug-in style set-up. No real need to be a web genius to put together your page/site.

Cons

Not as much formatting options as I'd like. When putting together story page I would have liked a few more options to format the page styling. Some of it was a little foreign to me as I have no IT language background.

Pros

GiveGab is user friendly and has great customer support. If you are unfamiliar with its use, or just need a question answered, they are there for you.

Surprisingly so, I cannot think of anything that I did not like about this software.

Visually appealing, ease of use, support, functionality, and the options for making it you own (adding your colors, logo, style, etc).

October 3, 2019

4.0

Pros

What I like most about GiveGab is the ease use, the attentiveness of their project teams, and the social media capabilities and "extras" of their platform.

### "For the most part excellent but, not being technically oriented, I have at time felt frustrated w/ t"

July 24, 2018

4.0

The ability to take in donations and create dynamic crowd funding campaigns. Ease of use and customer service.

Pros

For the most part it has been fairly easy to figure out except when it's not. There are some things that seem to be straight forward and others that I just don't get.

Cons

Flexibility. I like that we have the ability to add a lot of our own content, photos and other graphics

### "GiveGab"

December 4, 2020

3.0

GiveGab has been managing donations for a yearly campaign that we are involved in and so far it has done all that it has promised to do. Good experience overall

Pros

GiveGab processes donations to non profits and we have had success in all areas. Customer support is wonderfurl

Cons

Since we only use it once a year for a campaign, I find that I need to spend time in getting familiar with the softward again. That is to be expected

### "Overall I like GiveGab. It has worked well as our Giving Day platform. Have had some issues."

June 25, 2018

4.0

Allowed for the platform of a Giving Day.

Pros

It is fairly intuitive, I was able to update and change things relatively easily. The output is clean and attractive.

Cons

I had issues with using the platform for two different giving days over two years. There was no way to deactivate the previous years page. Results of the giving day were also confusing as pulling a list of donors included some donations from the previous year as well.

### "One of the easiest platforms I've worked with for fundraising. "

June 28, 2018

5.0

Ease of managing event registrations and giving days.

Pros

Its ease of use. I just started in may current position and it was so easy to get used to navigating it. Tech support is really friendly and quick to respond. Working on giving days, events, and general fundraising follows a very similar format.

Cons

I could just be missing this in a menu, but it would be nice to have a 'test mode' to help train staff and volunteers on how registration works. Other than that, no complaints about this software!

### "We LOVE GiveGab! It's super easy for administrators, fundraisers, and donors - and it looks great!"

June 20, 2017

5.0

Pros

The peer-to-peer fundraising feature is the best there is -- seriously. It's easy, attractive, and as the administrator, I appreciate that changes I make on the organizational page carry through to peer pages.

Cons

I have only 2 complaints. First, the email we (and our fundraisers) get at the end of a campaign that says "Girls Inc. of Holyoke has ended." It has?? Second, I have the worst time trying to get the header photos for a campaign to fit the page. I've tried everything, and no matter what I do, it gets re-cropped, stretched, or otherwise looks weird.

### "Small Nonprofit Very Satisfied with GiveGab"

February 23, 2017

5.0

Great River Rescue is a private, nonprofit animal shelter located in Bemidji, Minnesota. We have used GiveGab for about 4 years and have been very happy with our experience. GiveGab provides some awesome services that are easy to use, and we always get support when needed. GiveGab has been an amazing tool and I recommend it to other nonprofits.

Pros

It is easy to use and fun.

Cons

Past volunteer opportunities can not be deleted from the system.

### "GiveGab is Easy to use"

April 30, 2021

5.0

We use GiveGab as a platform for donations during our "giving days" and it has been very helpful and simple for us. I also love that it gives the option for the donor to pay for the GiveGab fees.

Pros

This software was easy to use and easy to set up. It was also easy to create new events for donation collection. Because we work with a national company this was free to use.

Cons

It was a bit tricky to figure out how to update information on the profile page that the general public would see. But, customer service helped me figure it out and after that it was simple.
