Totally worth it! Cons I had a donor who accidentally bid - there was not a clear way for them to "take back" their accidental bid.

" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 15, 2022 It was great and I will use it again. Pros From the beginning, every aspect of ZGive was great. Customer service was great and the platform was easy to navigate and use. Cons This is my first time using ZGive and there wasn't anything in particular that stuck out as something I liked least about the software. 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. LL Lee L. Executive Director Museums and Institutions ### "Exceptional Digital Fundraising Platform" 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 September 13, 2021 I used this product on behalf of our small, rural non-profit museum for the first time this month and I am thoroughly impressed and plan to be a loyal customer for many years to come. The whole experience and assistance offered by ZGive staff was stellar. Pros ZGive is an exceptional fundraising platform that works for a wide range of non-profits. ZGive only makes money when you make money so if you are a small organization without a robust operating budget, this is the perfect choice for you. The Customer Support is excellent and the software is user friendly and well-liked by donors. Cons I like the idea of product partners that I could use to add auction items to our event but both partners available--jewelry and trips--we too high priced for the community and surrounding areas that our museum is located in. I wish ZGive had product partners that provided lower cost auction item options. Reasons for choosing ZGIVE They provided the best demo and were quick to follow up and reach out after initial contact.

Thank you for the feedback - we look forward to a successful partnership! GT Gabriella T.

GH Gregory H. Executive Director Fine Art ### "ZGIVE is Top Notch!" 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 August 12, 2021 We just used ZGIVE for an online auction and I cannot stress how incredible it was. We raised a few thousand dollars from our event. It was just absolutely amazing. Thank you ZGIVE so much for helping us make this event top notch. And I encourage anybody that is looking, to use ZGIVE for their auction. We used the text messaging feature to reach out to all the people about the auction and over 90% of the people said that they used the text message they received to get into the auction, which made it easy for them. So once again, thank you ZGIVE and I look forward to seeing and doing more things with you. Pros The text to give feature is the best technical thing about this product. However, the customer service is what sells it. ZGIVE is with you from start to finish to make sure everything runs perfectly. If you have any question, whatsoever, they are there for you. Cons It would be really cool if we could use this as an emailing platform, like mailchimp, as well.

We signed up during the pandemic and it really took a load off of my mind knowing that I had another way to connect with donors and raise money for my non-profit. Pros We love that we can have different campaigns set up and know at a glance what programs interest our donors. Cons Unfortunately, ZGive doesn't communicate with our current CRM (Results +). As we look to a new CRM product this will be very important.

We did a silent auction and we had over 100 people registered to participate in the event, so we ran the event for a week's time. We reached our goal of $35K and we're super thrilled with ZGIVE. The platform was easy to work with. It was very user-friendly, and we were very extremely successful. Thank you ZGIVE. ​ Jay Williams Executive Director, OC UNITED" Cons Buy now option would have been nice, option to bid again with in 30 sec after the end time would have been nice.

District Executive Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Easy to Use!" 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 August 3, 2021 Pros We recently used ZGIVE for our fundraising event for the Rotary Foundation. Our event was a hybrid event, so we wanted our members in person and at home to be able to bid on the same items, and that went great. Everyone was able to use their phone to view the auction and bid on items. We also had a unique thing at our event where we set up a wine and liquor pull which gave our guests an opportunity to choose a bottle of wine or liquor. Our client success manager helped us set up a giving campaign along with the auction so that all participants had to do was text a certain keyword to our campaign's phone number to pay for the item that they wanted in the in the wine and liquor pull. This was a great tool again for our people in person and at home. It worked out great. Our event raised over $11,000 which was a huge success for our first time! And it was great to use ZGIVE to help us get to that amount. Thank you! Cons The "Buy It Now" option confused a couple people and they clicked it by accident. Would be good if we could reverse that it needed. 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 August 6, 2021 Hi Mandy, thank you for your review, we really appreciate it.

Look forward to building our relationship with you helping your organization take fundraising to the next level! RC Reid C.

Incredibly easy and will be easy to repeat. Pros There was almost no effort required. ZGive provided the platform and the auction items (Jewelry). We decided in advance what items we thought would be most attractive to those we invited. All we needed to do was promote the auction to bidders and then just sit back and enjoy. Cons The pacing of the live auction items at the end was a little fast. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Response from Vendor August 6, 2021 Thank you Reid for your testimonial about your Jewelry READY-AUCTION experience, we appreciate it! JC Jean C. Marketing Non-Profit Organization Management ### "Best Virtual Auction site in the Market" 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 July 21, 2021 Awesome! Thrilling! Mind-boggling! When I first approached ZGive asking for information I was immediately talking to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. I was totally amazed that someone that high up would take the time to talk to me a lowly, potential new customer. He walked me through what their program did and how it could benefit our non-profit and because we were a non-profit immediately offered me an additional discount. As soon as we signed up our ZGive Rep, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], contacted us and started setting up what we needed to get started. She walked us through the setup, gave us pointers on how to make our auction the best it can be and any question I asked she either had the answer or got it to me quickly. I constantly challenged her to give me additional information to make our auction better and she was helping us every step of the way. Pros Ease of use - Price - Quality of Contact Representative Interaction Cons As this was our first time using a product of this type the only issue we had between our supporters and the software has already been fixed. The program is awesome! Reasons for choosing ZGIVE The quick response, the affordable pricing and the excellent customer service from the very first contact.

All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.
