"A user friendly tool for big impact"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

The customer service. I NEVER feel alone when I'm working on a campaign. Their support team is there answering every and any question I have with speedy results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

I haven't been able to use the full functionality of the product without permission by our institution to share data via their data importer, which has been discouraging but it's still helpful regardless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

You said it, Kara (and thank you for saying it). Our support team treats every campaign like it's their own. And speedy response times are their modus operandi. By the way, our Partner Success Managers are experts at helping schools like yours overcome data import obstacles. We've done it many times and would love to lend a hand. Please reach out!

Jake, the feeling is mutual. Brescia University has been a "perfect partner" to GiveCampus, too. Here's to the next five years—and beyond!

"Does it all!"

"New way of Online Fund Raising"

4.5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

I explored this platform while I was consulting for a client. GiveCampus has an easy and intuitive UI which makes it easy for both, the creators of campaigns and the actual audience donating their hard-earned money. On top of this, added features of anonymity and crowdfunding make it even more desirable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

The only thing which I believe that can be improved is the customer support and maybe more video tutorials for campaign creation and frequency management on daily campaigns. Although with easy UI, we can try and explore the functionality but with video tutorials, it becomes easy for one and all to quickly launch any type of campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

GiveCampus is surely doing work related to donation and charity which is itself a noble cause but I'd like to point out something else i.e. introducing donation programs and making it more compelling and targeted to a modern audience. Easy payment integration, anonymity, UI, all these things help in overall interaction with the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

We think getting payment integration and the user experience right are critical components of modern fundraising—for campaign creators and donors alike. Thanks so much for noticing, Yajur (and for giving our UI a big thumbs up)!

P.S. We're creating more video tutorials and training tools every day. In fact, schools that partner with us get free access to GiveCampus University—an exclusive library of 300+ training resources, including articles, templates, webinars, and videos created and curated by our Partner Success team.

"Professional Looking & Easy to Use"

5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

It's so easy and intuitive. It looks great! Our donors find it easy to use as well. I also particularly like the unique tracking links. Customer service is fantastic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

I would say the only downside is having to manually enter the gifts from Give Campus to our CRM. But, it's worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

Leighia, thank you for the 5-star review! 🤩 You may be interested to know that we have a bunch of new integration options. Let's see if we can work together to take manual gift entry off your plate for good. Please book some time with your PSM soon to explore your options.

"Give Campus Review"

4/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

It is very user friendly and offers all the payment platforms our donors use. Customer support is very responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

The need to add the option of donor covered credit card fees for ALL donors. They keep saying they are still testing it. Sometimes the giving forms are not as robust for creating pages...i.e. no color option or font options for messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

edit

Thanks, Anonymous! Filling the gap for smaller fundraising teams like yours is our pleasure. Just to follow up, we are indeed still testing the donor-covered payment processing option for all donors, but you should talk to your Partner Success Manager if this option is important to you. With regard to colors, fonts, and many of the design elements you see in our platform, we rely heavily on our testing to ensure we are doing the very best to support ease of giving and boost conversion rates. We are relentless about that and its a top priority—the thing that we spend finite engineering resources on.

"Good product for setting up multiple giving campaigns"

3.5/5

What do you like best about GiveCampus?

I like how GiveCampus allows for there to be multiple giving campaigns listed and present on our homepage. We have lots of designations that donors can search and give for, which is really important for all of our various giving campaigns/goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveCampus?

I think GiveCampus is a bit too rigid...I have used similar products with other companies doing similar campaigns where I felt like there were more options to customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Martineau of GiveCampus

edit

Thanks, Kyle! When it comes to hosting multiple campaigns, you're not alone. Tiered campaigns are one of the fastest-growing tools in fundraising and one of the most popular ways that institutions like yours are leveraging the GiveCampus platform. Now, instead of taking a ‘catch all’ approach to big campaigns, you can tailor your content and giving experiences to different donor interests or affiliations. It's the modern way to fundraise and we're pleased to hear that you and your staff are able to easily set up, maintain, and promote campaigns to appeal to your various donor segments. With regard to customization options, we continually A/B test and optimize our giving form designs so fundraisers like you can be sure you're getting the best possible conversion rates.
