"GiveSmart is a gamechanger for fundraising."
5/5
What do you like best about GiveSmart?

I loved being able to give people who were not at our event access to the silent auction, and having GiveSmart staff on site helped us with ease so we could focus on what mattered most...connecting with our donors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveSmart?

I wish the text to donate feature was easier to use in all settings without so many steps for the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Customer Service"
5/5

Uploading and organizing auction items was incredibly easy, and event-day support was incredibly helpful. That it's a website rather than an app people have to download feels less like a burden on attendees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveSmart?

I don't know that I encountered issues with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review of Give Smart for Auctions"
4/5
What do you like best about GiveSmart?

Our representative was extremely helpful. She made the whole process easy and trouble free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveSmart?

We did not like the character limit for item names- we had to do some creative editing for some of our items because what we wanted to type (an outing with a teacher for example) was too long just because they had a long last name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GiveSmart?

Would like there to be different payment options. If you don't do a silent auction you don't need all of the capabilities, maybe it could cost less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a little bit of a learning curve, but once you learn the program it's so beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
