A little pricey but has more features than any other provider **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrey L. | Avionics Technician, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Our team loved the online auction integration and the minimal latency between our upstream and the downstream reaching out end user. We initially started on Facebook but struggled with bandwidth issues for our end users. Some users only experienced 8-10 seconds latency, other users experienced 40-45 seconds of latency. Event.Gives offered the best streaming solution without any headaches. Event.Gives offers a variety of solutions to non profits in raising awareness and funds for their respective causes. I was incredibly impressed with how seamless and intuitive their setup was. A user can setup an account and start a fundraising event within minutes. Event.Gives is not only limited to live streaming events. It also offers an open marketplace where back end users can create listings and process transactions. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** The platform is primarily focused on providing fundraising solutions through live streamed events. The pricing is a little high but the features that are offered with the service are unmatched. The website is somewhat cluttered initially with efforts to get you to sign up. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Event.Gives specializes in offering live stream solutions for your non profit as an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for your mission. It's user interface is minimal and clean. The learning curve is marginal and mostly drag and drop. **Official Response from Grayson Chappell:** > Hi Andrey! Our live streaming solution is industry-leading and we are so happy your event was able to experience one of our unique services! Keep an eye out for our site's refresh soon - we would love to hear your feedback on your efforts in signing up + creating your next event after it's launched! #FanaticalReview ### 2. Full Featured Platform for your auction needs **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan G. | IT/AV Integrations Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** When they started out on the market, they really wanted to change the way event auctions/fundraisers were done. They were truly the only option on the market to do a virtual gala/auction. With the live stream and auction embedded into one screen for the attendees in real-time, it makes the experience for the guests seamless. On the backend it made it simple to register guests, communicate, display content and auction items, collect payment and perform a silent auction. Their system was fast and very responsive. When you have an issue or concern or really a feature request they listen to your every need and make changes that will help with the overall experience. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** Now that we are out of covid and virtual galas are starting to spin down or at least got to a more hybrid approach, I would like to see them take on the in-person market. As of right now, the current options are terrible. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** They make virtual gala's/fundraisers a reality. Its a selling point to our clients who are looking to do this and with their team they make it easy and costs us less to support our clients needs. **Official Response from Quinn Wilder:** > Hi Ryan! I'm so glad that Event.Gives was able to help make your event a success! I have good news: we love working with in-person events! Our platform can be used virtually, in a hybrid model, and in person. Thank you for your fanatical review! ### 3. A great platform at a great price point! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kira C. | Associate Director of Donor Engagement , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** It was super user friendly and had all of the tools we needed. I loved the ability to send text message updates, things were great doing check out, the website was good looking. I think the back end was really simple and it was easy to see what was going on and make changes. We shopped around a lot, and event.gives offered a great price structure. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** The only thing I would change is it was hard to see when a message (email or text) was sent. You had to be really particular to make sure it went through. But that is the only thing I would change! **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** It gave us the ability to run a small online auction. For the price (a percentage of your earnings) it was perfect because we knew it was not going to be a major fundraiser, so we wanted to find a platform that was not a flat fee. **Official Response from Lillian Norris:** > Hi Kira, It seems like our all-encompassing platform was able to support you and your organization to create a successful event and we are so happy to hear it! We appreciate your feedback regarding the messaging feature. We are constantly updating our platform and actually currently working on a new build for our website and one of the features will be more in-depth messaging options and TRACKING! We can't wait to roll out the new features and hope this improvement will exceed your expectations! We appreciate your feedback and look forward to helping make your next event an even bigger success! #FanaticalReview ### 4. Nice platform, visually appealing, laid out well, user friendly. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michelle K. | Volunteer/Event Chair, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Ability to add photos, and detailed descriptions. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** Dislike the fact that there is no way to place a max bid and allow proxy bidding up to that amount. Also dislike not having the ability to add our own categories. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** They have helped resolve "glitches" in the ticketing and cart areas and have fixed formatting issues on the main event page. **Official Response from Grayson Chappell:** > Hi Michelle! Thank you for leaving this Fanatical Review! Having the ability to leave detailed item descriptions helps attendees and users get the best information they need and we are so glad you loved this feature. As for the ability to place max bids - we have taken this to development and are aiming to launch this feature within the new build! In the meantime, we recommend using the "Set Buy It Price" so that you are able to set a maximum cost for the item for bidders if they choose to buy it at your set price! ### 5. Everything You Need **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Crystal P. | Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Event.Gives is intuitive and user friendly.

I've never encountered a problem with Event.Gives. I've been using it for years, for different with my clients. The events have been hybrid, virtual, silent and live auctions, as well as raffles and I have zero complaints. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Event.Gives solves the problem of having to utilize more than one platform to meet my clients needs. Whether it's a silent auction, live auction, raffle or hybrid event, we only need Event.Gives because you can handle it all. **Official Response from Quinn Wilder:** > Hi Crystal! I'm so glad that Event.Gives has helped so many of your events succeed! Being user-friendly is a top priority for us. Both EOs and their attendees can use our platform right away!

Event.Gives is refreshing. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jenny D. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** It is simple and realistic. It's user-friendly and intuitive. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** I wish that I could grab a link to pay and send it to someone else versus it going purely directly to them. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Donation ease of use, auction software. **Official Response from Molly Daft:** > Hi Jenny, We absolutely LOVE seeing you describe our platform as user-friendly and intuitive. This means we’re doing something right! Our customer success experts would be happy to set up a call with you to go over our event messaging and link blast features, and show you how to use these to your advantage during attendee checkout.

Super a user friendly platform **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erin W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Loved that we could create a whole fundraising event using this platform! We could easily upload our own items and search their marketplace for auction items to help boost intrigue and shopping. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** It was a bit tricky figuring out how to cash out our fundraised income, but their customer service team was responsive! **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Customer service was able to help us with any questions we had along the way. **Official Response from Molly Daft:** > Hi Erin, We are so glad that you loved using our all-encompassing platform for your fundraising event. ‘User-friendly’ is the name of our game and it sounds like you were able to navigate through the site like a pro!

St. Peter School Auction 2023 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lauren J. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2023 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Madelaine, our account rep, is simply wonderful and made the event so smooth! I love that the site allows us to do text notifications and it is very easy to track who is bidding. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** I wish there was a "max-bid" option, so people could put their phones away and it would auto-bid for them. I think we could get a lot more money if we had that. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Online bidding is how it is benefiting us. **Official Response from Molly Daft:** > Hi Lauren, We are so glad to hear that one of our amazing customer success experts was able to help your event run smoothly.

Great auction event software! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katey R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Event.Gives is very user-friendly! I have done three events with their platform, and everything went smoothly! **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** There's nothing to dislike about Event.Gives! One small thing to mention is that you cannot change the font style, but that is not too big of a deal. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have heard that they are working of many new things and am excited to hear and see what those are! **Official Response from Molly Daft:** > Hi Katey, We are so glad to hear that all of your events have gone so smoothly using our platform! Feedback like yours is what helps us constantly improve our offering - be on the lookout for some exciting new features for making your event site even more customizable in our upcoming new website build! Thank you for your #FanaticalReview! ### 12. It Works. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mari K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Easy to use auction platform, also ability for users to buy tickets and easy to login with phone number. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** The prices are really high for non-profits and the fee structure. 8% is a lot for either the user, or the company, especially when doing an auction. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** The price increase is not being solved. Makes it difficult for us to use this platform going forward. **Official Response from Molly Daft:** > Hi Mari, We are so happy to hear that you found the platform so easy to use, and that your guests were able to utilize our ticketing and auction features! Feedback like yours helps us to constantly make improvements, and we have recently rolled out our Flexible Fees Pricing, which gives you the flexibility and freedom to choose how the fees are distributed between your attendees and your organization. Check out the helpful support article I have attached for more information on Flexible Fees! Thank you for your #FanaticalReview! ### 13. Successful Fundraising for 12 Events **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lisa G. | Director of Marketing and Development, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** The upsides of using event.gives are we can contact potential buyers outside of our immediate group. We can target online and through social media and email. I've never looked into competitors. We used to hold the school silent auction via paper- old school. The first year we used it, in 2015, we were able to double our profits. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** The downside is that it requires time to add photos that match the items. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** They solve the issue of paper bidding which means higher profits since people don't have to attend in person events and they can leave the event early without losing the ability to bid if they are outbid. **Official Response from Quinn Wilder:** > Hi Lisa! Thank you for your continued support of Event.Gives. It's clients like you that inspire us stay innovative and spread fanatical success! Thank you for your honest feedback! ### 14. Event.Gives is a great tool for non-profits to fundraise! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** We pivoted to on-line auctions for two events during the pandemic. We are excited to use their online options even now as we move back to in-person events. Event.Gives is easy to use each step of the way and reasonably priced for non-profits who must watch expenses. Staff and volunteers alike can quickly gain enough knowledge to set up and add items to events. We like that it is easy to use, reasonably priced, has effective and responsive support, and made us more successful in our fundraising. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** Some of the photos load a bit awkwardly, but we got used to what we needed to do to make them work. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ease of bidding, competitive and quick bidding, the ability to select winners at a specific time for all items, and to check out all winners immediately was of great help! **Official Response from Lillian Norris:** > We are happy to hear you were able to utilize multiple features within the platform to streamline your event processes and cut costs where possible! We have a love for all things events - virtual, in-person, or hybrid and we're excited to be able to assist you with yours! When it comes to images, there are definitely some learning curves there as images fit differently on all types of devices (cell phone, laptop, tablet, etc.) so we do try and include information bubbles within the platform to recommend best sizes and resolutions. We also provide support articles for additional information/best practices as well as our fanatical customer success team who is available Sun through Sat 9:00am to 5:00pm EST if you ever need assistance - we are happy and ready to assist! Thank you again for the feedback and we look forward to working for you again in the future to create an event that brings in above and beyond your fundraising goals. #FanaticalReview ### 15. The Best Event Management Platform I've Ever Used **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** As both a business owner and a Marketing Director for other organizations, I've used the Event.Gives platform for several events, both in-person and virtual. Check-in and check-out are an absolute breeze, and there are a ton of useful tools, from easy-to-use event ticketing and attendee communication to virtual fundraising and auction tools like mobile bidding and text-to-donate. We've also been able to connect the platform to our CRM so we can leverage the data later to create new donor relationships. Every feature on their platform truly seems well thought out and has allowed us to maximize the money raised at every event we've held. Another pleasant surprise I've found working with them is their Event Success and Concierge team. Not only have I not experienced that level of service with other platforms in the past, but I honestly didn't think that end of their service was something we would end up using. One event working with their team proved me wrong - it's a killer component to making sure we had the best event possible. If you're looking for event management software, check out Event.Gives! **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** The only thing I don't like is that I didn't start using the Event.Gives platform sooner. From the software to the Customer Success team, everything has been fantastic! **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using the platform has allowed us to streamline processes that were otherwise cumbersome, increase engagement and donations through many of the tools we've never had before, and overall drive a lot more attention and engagement before events ever start. **Official Response from Quinn Wilder:** > Hello! I'm so happy to hear that our platform and team at Event.Gives has met all of your expectations! While our platform is user-friendly without the help of our Customer Success Coaches, we love being hands-on with clients. We're fanatical about event success! Thank you so much for your kind words! ### 16. Easy to set up and navigate. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Megan P. | Marketing Manager, Consulting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Our nonprofit evaluated 4 platforms and found that Event.Gives. was one the most affordable platform to run a silent auction. Setting up, navigating, and running the event was very easy. We loved the flexibility to do add tangible items and gift cards for people to bid on and purchase outright. Keeping track of payments was super easy and there wasn't any hassle getting the payout. We also loved that we could carry the event over multiple days to build up momentum and change up prices at any time to encourage bids. Their customer support was responsive and friendly. We highly recommend their platform! **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** We didn't find anything bad about the platform. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Using Event.Gives allowed us to carry out a silent auction fundraiser when COVID shut down our in-person event. Our virtual attendees enjoyed the experience, too. **Official Response from Quinn Wilder:** > Hi Megan! I'm so glad that your experience with Event.Gives was a total success! Our top priority is keeping our platform intuitive and accessible to everyone. Thank you for your fanatical review! ### 17. Almost the best of both worlds **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Keith C. | Director of Outreach, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Event.gives enabled us to run a virtual gala in the middle of the pandemic. We had a paid event/auction coordinator that guided that process and it went very well! **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** Our second time using event.gives was for a live event and we faced some issues getting the platform to work in that setting. Especially with event attendees who wanted to pay with something g other than their credit card. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Event.gives has helped us implement two successful silent and live auctions (virtual and live). I'm certain that it has led to higher fundraising results compared to previous years. **Official Response from Lillian Norris:** > We’re so pleased to hear that you chose us for not 1 butt 2 events! We are even happier that Event.Gives was able to help your events reach a fundraising goal bigger than previous years! Our Customer Success Coaches love teaching our platform and providing quality tips to clients to help utilize as many platform features as possible to optimize event success. At this time, we have 3 options for payment - credit card payments as the easiest of course (this includes Apple Pay and Google Pay) but we also allow you to mark "offline" payments for cash and check as well. We appreciate your feedback and will take it under consideration! #FanaticalReview ### 18.

Great software to host your Gala. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patrick B. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** The ticketing tools for allowing attendees to assign tickets to guests at their table, assign paddle numbers, and check people with a mobile phone instead of a long check-in process. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** There can be a learning curve to learning the software from both organizers and attendees, but after year one, it's straightforward because everyone is up-to-speed. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Total organization of the event. It has a lot of futures that hep the attendee do a lot of the work... update their credit card when buying a ticket, easy check out, etc. **Official Response from Molly Daft:** > Hi Patrick, We love to hear that our ticketing allowed for a smooth check-in process. Providing a positive attendee experience is always at the forefront of what we do!

The set up is intuitive. You will be raising money on line quickly! **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** EventGives is always making improvements to their site.

They are so helpful in solving any problem I have using the site **Official Response from Quinn Wilder:** > Hi Melissa! I'm so glad that Event.Gives has simplified events for you!

Event Gives User **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** It was pretty user friendly. And helped us collect money **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** It could be better mobile friendly on a mobile phone. We had to use our personal device to sell raffle tickets and drink tickets and it was very easy to accidentally over charge people. The space to type in the number of tickets they wanted was too small **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allowed us to collect money through credit and debit cards - not only cash. And allows the customers to bid on silent auction items at their own pace **Official Response from Lillian Norris:** > Hello Fanatic! Thank you for the review. It seems like the platform was able to support you in multiple facets during your event and we are so happy to hear it. We appreciate your feedback regarding the mobile aspect for backend/admin use.

The absolute BEST platform! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christie K. | Professional Fundraising Auctioneer and Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** As a fundraising auctioneer, the fact the platform has no latency is HUGE. The team at E.G. is second to NONE. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** There is nothing that I can think of that I do not like about the company or their platform **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Anytime there is a suggestion for improvement, the team is quick to jump on it. **Official Response from Quinn Wilder:** > Hey Christie! I'm so happy that Event.Gives has met all of your expectations! I agree, Zero-Latency is one of our best features! We also love working with and getting to know all of our auctioneers.

Gets the job done! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Event.Gives met all of our event management needs for our annual gala. From auctions to multiple ticket packages, the software had all the functionality we were looking for. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** Event.gives has an integration with Bloomerang that we were hoping to utilize, however, it is not a complete sync/integration, and still requires manual data entry. Eve.tGives also has some limitations regarding night of auctions as opposed to silent auctions. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used event.gives when we did not have a donor CMR with event management capabilities. It fit that need, and also replaced the need to use our website for our annual gala - which can be soon as a pro or a con. **Official Response from Grayson Chappell:** > Hi there! Thanks for your Fanatical Review! We are so excited to hear that your annual gala was a success! The functionality of our software is always innovating and striving for where we can improve next. Our Customer Success would love to have a call with you discussing our CRM Integrations - the link is down below! #FanaticalReview ### 35.

If you get stuck, easy to reach out for a tip. It produces a quality product and auction. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** I am not sure that I would change a thing. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nothing to add here. **Official Response from Quinn Wilder:** > Hey Thomas! I'm so happy that Event.Gives was able to help your event succeed! Our Customer Success Coaches love teaching our platform and providing quality tips to clients.

Used for silent auction **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Martha H. | Development Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** I like that event gives is affordable and has a nice basic template. It's easy to use and to add items. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** As a basic template I wish I had more freedom to design the site, but it works for the price point. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** It made our silent auction so easy on the staff side. In the past they have done paper and this made the check out process so easy. **Official Response from Quinn Wilder:** > Hi Martha! I'm so glad Event.Gives made your event seamless; paper is definitely a thing of the past. We're constantly rolling out new features, so keep an eye out for more customization in the future! Thank you for your fanatical review! ### 38. Just what we needed at the time **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kelsey T. | Marketing and Development Associate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Event.Gives makes it easy to collect and retain attendee data and to follow up with donations. The texting feature is great for pre and post event! **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** I wish that the people assigned to our event were more involved/invested/knowledgable. They were not very involved and the help/IT team are non-existent. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** It made our online event feel more special than Zoom alone! Gave it an in-person gameshow feel without being in-person. **Official Response from Grayson Chappell:** > Hi Kelsey! Event.Gives is fanatical about data - and we are glad you are too! Our Blast Messaging feature for pre and post-event is useful for silent auction times, event updates, and so much more! Below is a link to one of our social media posts going more in-depth about this feature. If you ever want your event team to join our demos on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday @ 2:00 PM EST to see an in-depth overview of our platform for more involvement and knowledge - you can go to event.gives/go to join! ### 39. Event.Gives Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** It is very user friendly and there is a resource center that I can easily find answers to my questions. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** The new ASP. It is difficult to understand, thus difficult to pass along to attendees on what it all means. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** I needed a paper check issued to me due to the nature of my organization and the platform is honoring my long-standing relationship to work out a solution. **Official Response from Grayson Chappell:** > Hello, and thank you for your fanatical review! Our support articles and consistent Customer Success Team pride ourselves in creating resources and opportunities for Event Organizers and Attendees to learn more about our platform. The end goal is to always make our platform easy for others to become experts in event success!

Good app but not right for us **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Arts and Crafts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Easy to use and set up the auction. We've used it in the past for a live stream event which was great! **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** The cost to remove the automatic donation going to Event Gives was too much for our anticipated income for this year's event. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helped us last year when we were able to do a live-stream event when our gallery was still closed due to Covid. **Official Response from Grayson Chappell:** > Hi there! Thank you so much for your review! We are ecstatic that you were able to use our live streaming for your event and that your auction setup was seamless. Following our Attendee Supported Pricing structure helps keep your event free - it is always optional and never required!

Very efficient and organized **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chima S. | Marketing and Branding Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** I like the ability to control alot of the backend **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** Sometimes the interface is harder to separate customer information **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Its helping me keep in contact with current and previous customers **Official Response from Lillian Norris:** > Hi Chima, In regards to the separation of customer information, I would love to hear more about your troubles and see where we could help make this easier or assist in any way!

Would not recommend **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** The online portion of the event had some nice features, but overall, it was a challenge to use. **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** Lacking some common auction features, and very poor customer service. The worst part was the accounting nightmare. It took many hours of our bookkeeper's time and event manager's time trying to figure out their charges, and for some of their charges, they could never fully explain what they were for. They did give us some discounts for all the problems we had, but it wasn't worth the time and trouble. We switched to another platform for 2022, which worked out much better (although we did miss a couple of their online auction platform features). **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** None **Official Response from Lillian Norris:** > We are sorry to hear that you did not find the platform easy to use! We always want to provide an easy to use and do-it-yourself type platform but we also take pride in the fact that when that is not the case, our friendly and efficient customer success experts that are available Sun-Sat 9:00AM to 5:00PM EST to provide assistance, demos, and whatever else you may need. We try our best to be very transparent with any and all fees - Event.Gives has some of the least and lowest fees in the industry. We are currently making changes to improve these even further. We are also making updates to the current features so that it is even easier to track transactions and corresponding fees. We would love the opportunity to partner with you again for another event and provide you with best customer service to optimize your event success! #FanaticalReview ### 43.

Our top priority is keeping our platform intuitive and accessible to everyone.

We're so happy to hear that your first experience with Event.Gives was a success! Keep an eye out for our website rebuild and release notes! ### 45. Quality Platform but hard to access for supporters **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Event.Gives?** Items and auctions are easy to create, and easy to share via QR codes in person **What do you dislike about Event.Gives?** Contributors have had confusion because winning a bid does not require payment, and puts additional strain on us to secure payment before the pickup of winning auction items. Our network has also experienced issues connecting to the event.gives site on and requires us to operate outside our local wifi/off location only. The payout methods could be improved by providing a transaction history of direct deposits and accounting purposes. **What problems is Event.Gives solving and how is that benefiting you?** Event.Gives allows us to tackle fundraising and auctions in an easy-to-use way that adds a new perspective to our existing sales platforms. **Official Response from Lillian Norris:** > We are happy to hear you had ease on your end creating and charing the items and QR codes! The focus of Event.Gives is always streamlined processes for event success! We're sorry to hear you had issues with the checkout feature for attendees. There is an optional feature you can turn on that requires attendees to add a payment method and other info before being able to participate (bid, donate, etc.) to avoid those issues at the end of event. We'd be happy to walk you through those options for the future! The direct deposit history can be accessed via the 3rd party vendor we use for cc transactions and we'd be happy to assist you with those reports as necessary! Unfortunately there is not much we can provide as a solution to your network being unable to connect/support the EG site, however we have support that is available Sunday through Saturday 9:00AM to 5:00PM EST and can help troubleshoot with you in order to the best solution within our control. We appreciate your feedback and hope to make improvements to facilitate event success in all aspects - before, during, and after - for our favorite fanatics! #FanaticalReview ### 46.

Extensive options that are simple to control.
