"Powerful event software with a steep learning curve" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? The GreaterGiving event software has a plethora of useful features in one place. You can sell tickets, import buyers, set them up to bid in an auction, assign seating, manage your auction, process credit cards, and more, all in one place. There are multiple options for how to run your auction, and so many helpful reports available all in one place. For the last 4 years, we have also added their mobile bidding software to our package, which has helped to further streamline our gala fundraiser, eliminating the need to run around and grab auction sheets for 100+ items, and then hastily enter the information before guests want to leave. Eliminating this step has actually freed us up to create other fundraising opportunities during our event! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? The system is not as intuitive to use as I wish it were, and sometimes it can be a barrier when bringing in new team members to help with an event. That said, the support team is wonderful, so when I get stuck, help is just a phone call away. Additionally, there have been times when I wish the system would work in a certain way, and it just doesn't. (Example: I would like the fundraising thermometer to include certain items, and it simply will not.) My only other complaint, and it is minor, is that the payment pages look a little dated when compared to other online fundraising platforms, but I have seen improvements in this area recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Greater Giving: If you are looking for an event management system that can handle many facets of an event in one place, I highly recommend considering Greater Giving. While the learning curve is a steep one, it's better than having to access multiple systems to run a large event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? GreaterGiving allows us to manage all events in one place, rather than having to deal with multiple software systems. Allowing us to sell tickets, collect donations, and manage our auction in one place really helps to streamline our events. Additionally, the number of reports available allows us to always find the information that we are looking for. I have looked at other event management systems, but it seems that they are always lacking some piece included with GreaterGiving. For example, they may help you manage your auction, but not include ticket sales. Or include ticket sales, but not the option to assign seating in a way that can easily be sent to a caterer. GreaterGiving allows us to manage everything for our event in one place, and carry data over from year to year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greater giving is easy to use from both the admin/backend and the customer facing side. Even my less than tech savvy colleagues and donors are able to use this platform with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? There are so many feature sometimes it's hard tk remember where they all live! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? With the switch to virtual events in 2020 this platform allowed us to do that with ease. We ran auctions and held our galas completely online thanks to this platform. With the return to hybrid events in 2021 and beyond, this platform allows us to do both! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that all of my event elements are available 24/7 at the click of a mouse in real-time regardless of where I am. With the pivoting of Covid 19 in the event industry, the greater giving platform has allowed us to move our auction online in a very user friendly format.

Not only is it a comprehensive program, the service that Greater Giving provides is the best bar none. They are always available to assist. The facets of Greater Giving are numerous.Each time I use the program I learn more and more of the capabilities of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? Sometimes I can’t find where I am supposed to go to do something. Sometimes the help assistance on line (videos, articles) helps, but I know I can get expert assistance by talking to someone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PT Peter T. M Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/9/2021 "Excellent customer service and Good Flexibility" 4/5 What do you like best about Greater Giving? The people are Greater Giving are simply the best. Everyone is very friendly and eager to help you out. They know their product very well and in the rare occurrence they don't know an answer, they figure out how to get an answer. They are very quick to respond and I truly love their commitment to customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? The back end of the events needs a lot of work. It simply isn't the most intuitive and some complications can occur pretty easily, either overwriting old settings or leading you to think you did something properly and when you get to a different aspect of the auction you realize everything needs to be reworked. However, that challenge is remedied by the excellent customer help that I mentioned earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Greater Giving: Greater Giving is a good option if you like to make things your own and really make a memorable experience. You can also use them for a more generic cookie cutter template, but I think the flexibility is a great strength of their platform compared to others. They have also recently redone their graphical treatments and they look very nice. Their staff was very easy to work with, very understanding, and very flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? We did our school's annual auction, which was traditionally entirely in-person, completely virtual in April 2020, and Greater Giving allowed us to make that event happen. We simply would not have been able to raise money for our school in such a big way without that platform. We had planned on using Greater Giving for the in person event, but once we went entirely virtual, that really provided us the benefit we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how user friendly this platform is. I love how organized it keeps us and how easy it is to run an auction with Greater Giving. We went from a very old database system with paper bid sheets that were entered by hand to mobile bidding. It has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their support team is quick, knowledgable and courteous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Greater Giving? You cannot rotate a photo once it's been uploaded. So if a donor or a volunteer did not take the photo of the auction item the way GG required it, it showed up sideways in the system. And you didn't know it would be sideways until upload (even if it looks right side up in your phone). So that created some additional set up time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Greater Giving: I was apprehensive about using a new system for our event as it's our largest fundraiser. But the ease of set up and the level of support provided was way above expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Greater Giving solving and how is that benefiting you? Adding a level of engagement outside of an in-person event. This allows our whole audience to view and bid on items rather than just those in attendance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
