EM Elisheva M. Advancement Associate and Alumni Coordinator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/10/2026 "Simple Event Setup, Responsive Support, and Easy Year-to-Year Copying" 4/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? I like that it is pretty simple to set up your website and add supporters and sales as people register for your event. Customer support is always available and they are quick to respond and are very helpful. I like that this software works for both an event with and without an auction component. I also like that it has the built in capability to give donors the option to cover the credit card processing fee. Once you have your event set up, you can just continue copying that event each year instead of starting from scratch. When a new registration comes in, the system is helpful for matching them to an existing profile or adding them as a new user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? I wish that you could make edits on the actual website page and then make changes on the backend without it undoing everything I changed on the website. Also, we had some issues with doing checkout for the auction the night of our event, but in the end we were able to work everything out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? It allows us to have a silent auction fundraiser that people can bid on in person and from home.

The organizational segmented model of Greater Giving is very user friendly. I appreciate the convenience and ease in using their customer service outreach, they are attentive and professional in their help and responses. When we decided to begin using Greater Giving, it was an easy on-boarding experience. When it comes time to use the platform for our event, I am using Greater Giving daily.

Director of Alumni Relations & Special Events Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/7/2023 "Great event tool, recent frustrations with customer service response" 3/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? Greater Giving makes the events at the high school run smoothly. GG offers resources for almost everthing related to event success, and I can't imagine our golf outing and dinner/auction without its resources. I that I can create a website for registration, keep guest information on file, run reports, and easily customize sponsor and registration packages. The site was super easy to learn for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? There are downsides to the limitations of building a website. As a person with a design background, I wish I could upload larger file sizes to make my pages more aesthetically appealing. Being able to drop a video or multiple (not just one) pictures that are also links on a page would be nice. Also, I received great customer service until the past few months - customer service was not responsive. In the past, I could call Greater Giving at any time, and a representative would answer/talk me through the steps to make sure I knew what I was doing. This year, our site had a problem, and no representive would answer the phone for days. The online chat bot or person I finally got in contact with after numerous days of trying then tried to blame our server rather than figure out the problem. It was disappointing. We pay a lot of money for GG, money such as service fees from our events go toward GG, and I would appreciate better response. I was extremely concerned the night of that if there were a problem, no one at GG would anser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? Greater Giving modernized auction bidding by allowing our school to go from all paper to mobile and beyond the room for bidders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My name is Brian Powers and I am the Director of Client Service at Greater Giving. I am sorry to hear about your frustration and negative experience you had with our products and services recently.

We offer live phone and chat support during those hours and can also be reached at support@greatergiving.com and we respond to all emails within one business day.

Director of Advancement Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/13/2023 "Great service ... great products ... great platform!" 5/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? It is very user friendly for setting up and managing projects of all kinds. The more you use it the easier it becomes as most of the products are similar in nature. The option of the project websites is versatile and fairly simple to create resulting in a professional and appealing public face. The prompts are clear and there is wealth of information in the library to access in various ways. Support is very responsive whether by chat or phone. It is my favorite platform to use and I recommend it to everyone I speak to about project/event platforms. I use it daily during my event seasons and feel very supported as I create and manage my projects. It was also very easy to get started with this platform over one year ago. Integrating our database was easy and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? A few of the defaults that cannot be changed within the website building and the JoinMe options are frustrating to work with. For some reason, many of my students have trouble building their individual fundraising pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? It allows me to streamline my ticketing, seating and fundraising in one place as opposed to having multiple payment/purchase options that have been used in the past. It also allows for ease of tracking individual supporters/households to see ALL that they participate in on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/12/2023 "Returned to Greater Giving and now realize why we left." 3/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? It's the most widely used platform in Austin - so we can share resources and understanding with other local alike nonprofits here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? The customer support is terrible compared to GiveSmart, who staffed a rep to our account. The platform is highly uncustomizable - we are conducing our Ask off the platform bc it can't do what we need it to do (or at least no rep has been able to advise us how to use it). The 'edit page settings' 'vs edit on website' creates MASSIVE headaches if you are looking to make any changes to your site --\> I've lost massive cosmetic changes multiple times bc a rep directed me to 'edit page settings.' There's a massive disparity between reps - I've had 1 good experience with a rep but mostly their answer is 'no' or 'I don't know.' Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? The auction part is fine. The fundraising part - the Ask - is a nightmare for our event. And the event management and backend is super clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Development Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/16/2023 "Greater Giving Makes Events So Much Easier to Manage!" 5/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? I like that I can not only track donors, but I can also track sponsors for our events. I can send notifications to participants without having to create a separate database in my donor management system. Also, I am able to close out auction on a pre-set schedule without having to watch the clock, then with the touch of a button, payments are received. The more I use Greater Giving, the more ways I find to make events easier to manage! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? I would like it to integrate with my donor management system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? One of the biggests complaints about our auction was check out. With Greater Giving, we capture needed donor information ahead of time. Now, there is no need to wait in line to settle up at the end of the event. And with the online auction, donors can participate from anywhere, know where their bid stands, and the auction can be closed with a pre-set timer. We also used Greater Giving for an awareness walk. We captured t-shirt sizes so ordering them was easy. With both events, we could share information with donors without having to create a separate database. Greater Giving allows me to enjoy the events without having to continously collect payment information, add up bids and collect payments or call donors because they forgot to provide critical information.

Greater Giving allows for multiple users, is easy to learn, produces valuable reports, and is an all-in-one tool for our fundraising events. It handles registration, check-in, and the check-out procedures easily and generates all of the supporting documents. The technical support is always available and willing to help with any issues. This is an excellent program for a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving?

Other than that, I haven't really found a downside to Greater Giving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you?
