MK Megan K. Special Events Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/4/2015 "Not my favorite experience" 1.5/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? I like the reporting features specifically related to auction items. I found them useful and unique amongst software peers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? Most fundraisers use a database separate from greater giving. I found i was doing double the data entry with little added value. I also think the check out system for events is awful. It is not user friendly, error prone, and not fast enough to meet the demand of 2500 guests checking out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Greater Giving: Decent to use if this is your only database and you are trying to get a group of less than 200 through checkout. If either of the previous statements don't apply to you, find another software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? The number one problem to solve is having a smooth event and check out process. This system was tedious but did make for an organized pre-event. Where it failed was in the critical check out process. Everything is manual data entry and does not go well with event volunteers even with the provided training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Development & Grants Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/13/2016 "Good event management and credit card processing" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? The event management platform is pretty comprehensive and I like that it keeps track of constituents as well as auction items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? For the most part, GG is user friendly but sometimes the connections between the event pages that are created and the management platform are not always clear. Page management is not always user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? Definitely like being able to pull comprehensive accounting reports at the end of an event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product is web base so you do not require a server to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? The web page creation tool is difficult to use. Trying to figure out how to setup the and edit the forms (donation items, reservations) is confusing how to get to these settings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Greater Giving: I would take advantage of their tech support staff. They are extremely helpful and the first person that answers is usually the person that resolves your issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? We use the system for our major annual fundraising event. It allows us to take reservations (sell tickets), event website, collection donation items, seating arrangements, event checkin/checkout, sell auction items using a mobile site, send out thank you letters/receipts, paperless system, and accounting.

Take it from an Intern!" 5/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? The entire suite was very friendly and easy to understand. While I was a gala and auction intern, I used the registration tracking feature to ensure all guests were accounted for. I also used the web site design feature that was included in the package to create the registration web page for the gala. And with a little HTML, I was able to make the page even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? As I was using Greater Giving, I was also looking into other Fundraising suites and noticed that not all of them had a very appealing user interface. Although this is a problem for all of the suites, I wished it looked more polished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Greater Giving: Greater Giving is a great fundraising suite, and has essentially everything you need in terms of back-end processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? We needed to create a website that could register our gala members and record their bids in our auctions. And thankfully, Greater Giving solved both problems. It just makes things a little more easier and a little less stressful knowing that it's all integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greater Giving allowed my Advancement team to organize, track, and record all incoming auction donations through the event software. From these individual donations, our team was able to utilize Greater Giving to package these items appropriately. Also, Go Time is simply a must for check-in/check out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? Greater Giving has really come a long way! When we first started using the software in 2011, there were many components that we didn't consider user-friendly. Following our event, we reported these issues to customer service and they were taken into consideration. Since then, Greater Giving has become much more reliable. Previously, the check-in/check-out process caused many challenges but now with Go Time, the process is a breeze! It speeds up check-in/check-out which makes our guests happy! No more issues with attendance tracking, table assignments, and receipt printing. Also, no more syncing with the main server!! I still think that removing duplicate names is frustrating. There's no easy way to go about it other than starting from scratch when you create a new event. And I think the reports that the software allows you to print could be more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? I worked for a Catholic K-12 school in south Texas and our annual Gala is the signature fundraiser. In a small town, you compete with larger organizations for attendance at your event. I may be biased but I do believe our silent, live, and elite auctions were the best, hands down, and that's what attracted our large turnout every year, especially the key players. Now that could be because we had dynamic auction committees who dedicated countless hours to obtaining sought-after, in-demand, tantalizing products, activities, trips, etc. but I also have to give credit to GG's event software that made their jobs much easier! Greater Giving made the entire event run smoother, sped up wait times, and helped us put together attractive packages. Also, having a GG rep on site during the event was a lifesaver!

Greater Giving offers a variety of features that make uploading/ tracking and logging simple. Our gala's silent auction goes towards numerous different accounts - so setting up the auction items per account is very useful. As far as mobile bidding goes- several of our participants liked the push notifications and gamification of the bidding process. The reports are easy to export - once you figure out which report to pull. Exporting receipts is also very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? Mobile bidding proved to be a challenge due to a variety of factors: wi fi connection, lack of smart phones, individuals not flowing through the space to view items, challenges in removing/ canceling a bid, pushing back the closetime, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Greater Giving: Allow yourself / staff plenty of time to upload packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? The mobile bidding program is best suited for an organization / event that has smartphone savvy, a great wifi connection, and organized auction packages. For our organization, we will continue to use Greater Giving but without the mobile bidding feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Go Time and Mobile Bidding are both so easy to use and very user-friendly. We barely had to train our check-in volunteers, and very few guests needed help with MB. Also, it's nice to have everything online so I can work from anywhere -- I cleaned up our supporter database while watching TV at home. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? - I wish class would carry over when converting Items to Packages. I know the issue is that some packages have more than one item, but it would be super easy to default to one of the classes and then change it if need be. We have mostly single-item packages, so it felt like a waste of time to have to go back and add the class to packages. - When indicating which packages you want in catalogs, you can only do a list (1, 2, 3, 4...) instead of a range (1-4). - I like the variety of reports available on default, and I mostly get what I need. But it would be nice to have some sort of functionality that more easily allows you to create your own reports and that more easily exports to Excel. Often if you export to XLS, it still looks like a PDF, and it's not very useful in an Excel. For example, you'll get extra lines between entries so if you want to manipulate or sort the data in any way, first you have to delete the lines or otherwise set up the spreadsheet differently. - We found a bug in the system that allowed someone to place a higher bid after another bidder had already selected Buy It Now. I already notified the support team. - Sprint users were not able to receive texts during Mobile Bidding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? More organized, nice to have everything for the auction in one place. Multiple staff are able to work in the database at the same time. We don't have to worry about taking the database off the server and backing it up a million times and all that stuff we did with the PC version. Smoother and easier for registration. Much easier for volunteers to check people in and help guests. Fewer mistakes in bidding since it's electronic and not paper-based. Mobile bidding did not increase our income, but we had fewer people this year than last, so we're working on analyzing the data to control for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greater Giving makes fundraising for non-profits simple, easy, and efficient. I highly recommend this software to any non-profit that is looking to effectively grow and professionally manage donor and event information in a user friendly, polished manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? I honestly cannot identify anything about the software that I disliked.

GG is helpful for running Auction events, but could use refining. Not the most intuitive software packages out there.
