I would recommend this company to any nonprofit seeking to enhance fundraising efficiency and thereby maximize its net return. Pros HelloFund has gone the extra mile to get to know our organization. With this knowledge, HelloFund is able to provide personalized services, making our fundraising efforts more efficient. Cons None. I do not have any suggestions or recommendations for improving their services. HelloFund seems to always look for ways to serve its customers.

They are very organized and don't mind getting things taken care of in advance which is how we are most successful. Pros The customer service led by \[sensitive content hidden\] and the handholding to make sure the job gets done timely and efficiently was fantastic. Cons The reports aren't what we are used to, but not a deal breaker. \[sensitive content hidden\] did a great job gathering any data that we requested. Switched from [OneCause](https://www.capterra.com/p/145329/Fundraising-Software/) Hello Fund had better timeline management of tasks to stay ahead of gala-month madness.

Director of Development Non-Profit Organization Management ### "HelloFund seamless intergration with Bloomerang" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 7, 2025 \[sensitive content hidden\] was invaluable and ensured that our event was a success. From setting up the welcome page, to crafting communications, to coming in person to support on event night, I felt confident in knowing that attendees would have great customer service. This allowed me to focus on other event management needs. Pros The event management was very user-friendly. Also, it was extremely helpful that we could directly integrate our CRM, Bloomerang, with HelloFund. I was able to upload all of the sales (tickets, sponsorships, auction items, and paddle sales) seamlessly into Bloomerang. It saved me hours of manually importing data. Cons I can't think of any cons. It was a great experience, and there weren't any issues that we ran into. If there were, \[sensitive content hidden\] and his team figured out a way fix them. Switched from [ClickBid](https://www.capterra.com/p/144446/ClickBid/) Our organization needed more hands-on support.

He went above and beyond, always making himself available (even event night!) whenever questions came up and providing timely, clear guidance throughout the entire process. \[sensitive content hidden\] helped us stay organized by tracking what needed to be done leading up to our event and ensuring nothing slipped through the cracks. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, which made the platform even more accessible for our team. His patience and support gave us confidence every step of the way. We’re so grateful for his partnership and would highly recommend him to anyone working with HelloFund. Pros The platform makes event management, ticketing, and fundraising pretty seamless, and the customer support team goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Their flexibility and responsiveness made a huge difference for our organization. Cons There are a few features we’d love to see expanded in the future, but HelloFund is always open to feedback and continually improving the platform.

We will use HF again! HF was very user friendly and easy to make changes. \[sensitive content hidden\] also made the process seamless! Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] was easy to work with and got things done quickly. He always answered my questions and had solutions. Cons The reports. I felt it difficult to get a simple guest list. I also wish I could have broken it down into what kind of ticket they bought.

Sr. Director of Development Non-Profit Organization Management ### "HelloFund Takes the Stress Out of Event Planning" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 1, 2025 Working with \[sensitive content hidden\] and the HelloFund team took so much stress out of our event for us. \[sensitive content hidden\] was very hands on with our team and ensured we were using the HelloFund platform to its fullest extent, which made a big difference in our donors having a positive experience at our event. Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] and his team were incredible to work with. This was the smoothest an event with an auction has gone for us and that is due in large part to \[sensitive content hidden\] and his team's customer service and expertise with the platform. From a donor experience, everything was seamless, user friendly and quick. I highly recommend HelloFund for any of your event needs! Cons Honestly the only thing that was difficult was getting contact information from our table hosts for the people sitting at their tables and that doesn't have anything to do with HelloFund. Having that information allowed us to utilize text messaging for our auction and event communication which our donors really liked.

Thanks for trusting us to help with your fundraisers and events. LK Lily K. Nonprofit event production Events Services ### "Lily / HF at the Round Top Film Festival Gala" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 October 1, 2025 All was good! I did receive error/form resubmission page responses several times throughout the night, so I often spent time refreshing my page and starting over the check-in/out process for guests. Like anything, as I use the platform more, it will get easier. Pros I liked the butler feature for check-in. I appreciated how easy it was to use when checking bidders in at the beginning of the event, logging bids during the event, and checking guests out at the end. Cons On the back-end, I didn't love the variations of the "view ticket sales," "manage guests," and manage bidders pages. It was nice that they all updated with each other, but in a pinch, it was inconvenient to need to remember which one I can use to edit guest information directly, view certain fields, etc. This could be some amount of user error on my end, but we often got confused between these different pages/sheets and their capabilities. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 3, 2025 Thanks so so much, Lily! Great working with you on this event. We are continuously working on updates in the backend to improve the software. Be on the lookout for updates. SH Susan H. Treasurer Fund-Raising ### "Anderson HS Football Booster Club - Blue & Gold Golf Tournament" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 1, 2025 For the past two years the Anderson High School Football Booster Club has used HelloFund to manage our primary fundraiser, The Blue & Gold Golf Tournament. We rely on this tournament to fund most of our annual Booster Club support for the football program so an efficient and user friendly platform is essential. Also, being able to manage and deliver for the Sponsors is critical to the success of the tournament and HelloFund is fantastic on this front. The tournament has had better returns each year, with double digit percentage increases to our net income year on year, thanks in large part to HelloFund's functionality and support. \[sensitive content hidden\] , who ran both the Silent and Live Auctions, explained it best: HelloFund has a simple interface and the team, led by \[sensitive content hidden\] is amazing! \[sensitive content hidden\] went on to say that there was great communication with constant support that is responsive and helpful. Pros Easy to use interface Excellent communication and support Detailed reporting capabilities Batch processing of payments is a smooth process Cons It seems like some reports don't display all of the same data. Download Ticket Sales under Event Tickets and View Ticket Sales can differ from what's captured in some of the reports under "Reports".

From day one, the experience has been wonderful—from setup to daily use, everything about the platform is incredibly user-friendly. Whether you're managing a small gathering or a large-scale fundraiser, the tools are built to support your success without adding complexity. I personally use this software for over 6 events each year, ranging from small ticket sales to a large-scale gala. Copying event info from one year to the next is a breeze, making setup easy. One of the biggest standouts is the amazing customer service. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with \[sensitive content hidden\] , and I can confidently say he’s one of the most dedicated and genuine professionals in the industry. He truly values his customers and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we feel supported and empowered. It’s rare to find someone who not only listens to feedback but actively works to implement meaningful improvements—\[sensitive content hidden\] does just that. Speaking of improvements, the software is constantly evolving. The team is always working behind the scenes to roll out updates that reflect the real-world needs of users. Every time I log in, I’m impressed by the new features and enhancements that make our work easier and more impactful. If you're looking for an event platform that combines top-tier functionality with unparalleled support, look no further. I’m proud to be a long-time customer and look forward to many more years of partnership. Highly recommend! Pros amazing customer service, very easy to use, constantly improving software. Whether you're managing a small gathering or a large-scale fundraiser, the tools are built to support your success without adding complexity. Cons One of the improvements this software made was adding the ability to print bid sheets through the system! I wish the bid sheets were more customizable, but hopefully that can be upgraded in the future.
