"Donor-Centered Fundraising Tools, But CRM Integration Needs Less Manual Setup"

3.5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

What I like best about GiveCampus is how donor-centered and advancement-focused the platform is. It was clearly built with fundraising teams in mind, making it easy to create engaging giving experiences while also simplifying the behind-the-scenes work for staff.

I especially appreciate the ability to quickly build campaigns, customize giving forms, track donor activity, and create a more modern online giving experience. The platform helps make philanthropy feel more personal and connected rather than just transactional. From annual giving campaigns to targeted initiatives and event registrations, GiveCampus provides tools that help strengthen donor engagement and make supporting the institution easier and more meaningful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

My biggest challenge with GiveCampus has been the amount of manual setup and duplicated work required during the integration process with our CRM. While the platform itself is strong, getting everything aligned between systems required rebuilding and mapping many items that already existed elsewhere, which created additional administrative work during implementation.

I would love to see an even smoother CRM integration process with more automated syncing, migration support, or tools to reduce duplicate data entry. For advancement teams managing multiple priorities, reducing backend setup time would allow us to spend more energy on what GiveCampus does best — engaging donors and building meaningful fundraising experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GiveCampus solving and how is that benefiting you?

GiveCampus is helping solve the challenge of creating a modern, engaging, and user-friendly giving experience for donors. It allows us to move beyond basic online donation forms and build campaigns that better tell our story, highlight impact, and connect supporters to the areas they care about most.

From an advancement perspective, it provides more flexibility and ownership over fundraising efforts. Our team can create and adjust giving pages, launch targeted campaigns, manage events, and view performance data more efficiently without relying on multiple separate tools or processes.

Once fully integrated with our CRM, GiveCampus will also help streamline gift tracking, reporting, and donor engagement by keeping online fundraising activity connected to our larger advancement strategy. Overall, it allows us to spend less time managing technology and more time building relationships with the alumni, donors, and friends who support our mission.

"Empowers Fundraising but Needs Better Support"

3.5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

I like GiveCampus because of the ability to use virtual wallets as a third party, which is something we typically can't do on our own. The platform's ease of use stands out for me, especially as it's very easy for users who aren't used to it to build campaigns and know what to do on the back end. Additionally, the easiness for the donor experience is great, making it very simple and quick for donors to make their gifts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

I don't love their support. It is email based, and now they just moved to an AI version. So I would just prefer some live support options that they could give. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love using GiveCampus because it provides an excellent solution for online giving, accommodating various payment methods effortlessly. The platform offers a great one-stop-shop experience with a clean interface, which significantly enhances our fundraising activities. What stands out most about GiveCampus is its user-friendly management aspect, making it easy for me to handle tasks efficiently. This ease of management translates into a simple and straightforward process for donors to make gifts, ensuring a positive experience for them. Additionally, having an outstanding representative like Travis Sewell enhances the overall experience, as he offers insightful best practices and support for any questions I might have, making him an invaluable partner to us. His expertise across both fundraising front-end and services sides means he effectively helps with both donor-facing activities and technical concerns, making what could be challenging tasks super easy. Overall, the combination of these features and support makes GiveCampus a highly valued tool in our fundraising efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus doesn't present any major issues for me, but there are some smaller features I would like to see implemented. I've discussed these with Travis Sewell, our representative, who has been receptive and shared these suggestions with the engineering team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great job GC!"

4/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

Right now, I am really like GC Events. It makes online registration easy for our alumni community. Also, the staff are great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

I wish you could call support. Sometimes I block a few hours to work on a GC project and if I get caught on something and I need to email support, it might become a longer process. Maybe it is because I am older too, but I feel like I could get instant answers if I could call someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GiveCampus is a great tool for online giving!"

5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus is a great tool for crowdfunding and general online giving. Specifically, their GivingDay tools have helped us increase giving three years in a row. They accept a wide variety of payment options, from bank transfer to credit card to digital wallet standards like ApplePay, GooglePay, PayPal, and Venmo. Their customer support is always available to assist. During GivingDay and other fundraising events, they are available 24-7. They give the ability to establish custom reports for gift entry/accounting needs. They are constantly making improvements that increase ease of use, such as searchable designations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus requires many add-on features to make full use of their products, thus increasing the cost. Their contracts can be cumbersome. For example, contracts for crowdfunding and giving forms are set up separately. Using less in one doesn't allow you to utilize the extra to cover overage in the other.
