Bloomerang Fundraising vs. Givebutter

I think our scenario is a good one for Qgiv as long as you don't expect the world. I learned a great deal about the challenges of integration, like that this tech is very literal and requires precise matching or it won't work. As a tool of its own, it's really strong. If you are looking for a real-time giving thermometer, this still isn't your best bet - they have updated it to where it will refresh every minute, but if you are doing in-the-moment text-to-pledge during your Fund a Need at an event, it's not set up (yet) to do that

The site has built-in flexibility for fundraising shops of all sizes to use it for various needs - we used it for a special event but it could also be used to handle a Day of Giving campaign. We liked that donors could use the built-in social/email features to advertise their support to gain additional donations

• Events - It is easy to create simple events and manage them from Qgiv - there is a lot of flexibility in managing membership, tickets, special fields on the form, and managing receipts - very intuitive.
• Donation forms - Qgiv's form builder for an online donation page is very easy to use and easily manipulated. We manage over $5,000 a year in donations via Qgiv. Not a ton compared to our full budget, but Qgiv does what our other donation processing software can not.
• Customer Service - Qgiv's customer service is AMAZING. They answer my questions promptly and really make me feel like I'm valued as a customer.

Incentivized

• Flexibility in using the platform for multiple fundraising sources (events, direction donations, etc.)
• Ease of Use
• Ability to customize your site

Incentivized

• I would like to see the statistics and donor information expanded for reporting purposes to our board and department heads.
• It would also be nice to see how Qgiv can integrate more into the social media networks.
• Lastly, the cost for the mobile payment system is pretty high and needs to come down in price.

Incentivized

• Link to payment sources/systems (we had to do this multiple times before it worked)
• Integration with larger donor management software systems (i.e. Blackbaud)

Customer support is amazing - they're very prompt, thoughtful in their response, and are clearly trying to help you problem solve, not just find a quick fix.

Qgiv is by far a better product. No hidden fees and the team of developers continue to make updates that are relevant to keeping the software competitive and user-friendly. Also, customer service is a 10 out of 10 when it comes to troubleshooting different software scenarios. Finally, the ability to export and import is a basic and awesome necessity.

Givebutter provides more flexibility in designing your campaign or event on the site ...others are more suited for only a Gala or auction and Race Roster was more than we needed and was confusing to our guests

Incentivized

• Nearly doubled our winter fundraiser
• Allowed us to add a text to give
• Allows people donating to our agency to stay on OUR page to donate - they are not redirected to PayPal.

Incentivized

• Best registration tool we have used for the NUN Run event
• Allowed registrants to cover the fees reducing our overall event expenses
