"User-friendly, responsive platform"

3.5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

We are fairly new to the platform, and one of the things we appreciate most is how the company is responsive to feedback and are making careful, but swift, growth. The platform is fairly user-friendly, from both the backend and front perspectives, and allows for better giving pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

The event modules isn't nearly as robust as we'd hoped, and we're struggling to make it work for us. Additionally, there are certain issues with the reporting across the platform that just don't make sense. Also, the customer support needs work. They ONLY do email, and it can be confusing, plus we don't always get the right answer (when we message again, we sometimes get the correct answer from someone different) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Partner Success Management at Its Best!"

5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus has been a game-changer for volunteer management and Giving Days. Their Volunteer Management System makes the whole process much easier (and quicker) for our team internally and also for volunteers, and their social fundraising platform has brought our Giving Days to life. Most notable, though, is their customer service. They truly are Partner Success Managers. Their patience, guidance, and expertise have been instrumental in the success of our campaigns, and they invest a lot of time and effort to ensure we are well-equipped to navigate the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

I am a new GiveCampus user and it can be challenging to navigate the knowledge base on your own and figure out all the different components of getting things set up, but the team compensates for that with their support and responsiveness. Also, there may be minor nuances or (for our purposes) system limitations that we run into, but the team is very receptive to feedback and also provide creative solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use their VMS and social fundraising platform. The VMS has made our volunteer management and volunteer outreach much easier. It makes the process much smoother and quicker for our team and for our volunteers. Their social fundraising platform makes the management of Giving Days a lot easier and brings the day to life, helping to build excitement and track results in real-time. Also, the integration between the VMS and the social fundraising platform is an added bonus that helps energize volunteer efforts around Giving Days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Partnering with GiveCampus has made our Small Team Feel Bigger"

5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

As a department of 2 using GiveCampus has helped us feel we can accomplish more with less. Some of the most helpful things are the ease of assisting donors in setting up recurring giving, encouraging donors to set up matches or challenges, or encouraging donors to become advocates. Social giving has helped multiply our annual fund giving. And the support we receive on using our products is superb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

Taking the time to set up the pages is the hardest part however, once it's done once, campaigns can be copied. So putting in the time and work in the beginning can help pay off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The GiveCampus platform is excellent!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus has been extremely beneficial for our institution in executing our giving days and campaigns. Their platform is easy to use and they provide a Partner Success team dedicated to assisting you along the way. Their staff is prompt, and professional, and helps to identify ways in which their platform can better suit your campus needs to be successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

They are still a growing company, but very receptive to feedback. They currently count any soft credit individuals as participation donors which is not an accurate representation of donor count on giving day which needs to be revisited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GiveCampus listens to its clients"

5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

GiveCampus really listens to the needs/wants of their clients. As an early adopter of GiveCampus, I have seen the company's evolution to the superpower that it is now, but never has their commitment to listening to their partners waivered. They are still just as responsive now as they were 8+ years ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

The main downside that I see to GiveCampus is the price as it is one of the more expensive options out there. I'm now at a smaller shop with a much smaller budget, so I struggle more with the cost, but as they say, you get what you pay for. GiveCampus is a no-brainer investment if your organization is able to fit it into your budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Customer Service"

5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

I love your customer support team! Using a new platform can be really stressful, especially when it involves your non-profit's online fundraising. Our first campaign started the week we implemented GiveCampus. I felt like I was asking a thousand questions, but your team handled all of them in a friendly and professional way without making me feel stupid for not figuring things out on my own. When I email a question to Support, I'll receive an answer within minutes. There is so much comfort in knowing that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

The person who initially helped me get started with GiveCampus was disengaged. I was dreading the move to a new platform because of her, but I found out later that she was leaving the company. Rosa and the support team have more than eased any concerns I had in that area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

Susan, we are happy to hear that Rosa and the support team has been able to provide you with the assistance you need in a timely manner. Many of us are former fundraisers ourselves and know what it's like to run a small shop with limited resources. We aim to make the fundraising process as smooth as possible for Partners big and small. Thanks for trusting us with your fundraising initiatives.

"Huge Asset for our Team"

5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

The platform is very easy to use and presents information in an easy to understand format. Their customer support is amazing and we have loved working with our rep to learn more about new products, help us figure out the best solution for our needs, and to review campaigns. I love the number of features from giving forms, to campaigns, to texting, to events and that they are all tailored specifically for advancement needs. Give Campus' creative solutions have helped us streamline processes and produce better results. We use their products daily to help us meet our fundraising goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

Some features are still a little clunky - such as not being able to update a donor email address/phone number in GC without having to do a new data upload file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

edit

Thanks for the stellar review, Sarah! We are pleased to hear that you find GiveCampus easy to use and we humbly agree that our customer support team is "amazing." :) Because you and your team are in the platform daily, we especially appreciate your feedback on features. Our product team is committed to making continuous improvements to provide a seamless user experience and feedback from power users like yourself is absolutely key.

"A modern & flexible giving form platform"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

I inherited a contract with Givecampus and wasn't sure how to use the product and all the various functionalities. Our school's team went above and beyond to make sure we got up to speed and helped us customize a great giving day social campaign. The support has also helped us so much learn to use all the modules we have access to - thanks for being so responsive, GC team! Once you learn the system, it is easy to use. I"m on Givecampus everyday!~ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

It is definitely more expensive than using a Blackbaud form...and even more expensive than competitior, Boost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

Heather, we're delighted to hear that GiveCampus has been able to provide you with a modern, sleek, and frictionless giving experience for your donors—and that you were able to get up to speed quickly on all the bells and whistles. That's high praise from someone who has their hands in the platform every day. Thank you for sharing your giving day experience.

You also mentioned cost. We are deeply committed to the donor experience. In order to consistently deliver the industry’s highest donor conversion rates, our product and engineering teams continuously iterate, analyze, and optimize our online giving forms. We are proud of this investment because it has resulted in tens of millions more dollars raised by our Partner community.
