Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a non-profit, we have several events throughout the year. We use Goodworld, Cheerful giving site to build our fundraising events and fundraiser profiles as it's very customizable and easy to use. The customer service is great, and they are very quick to respond to us with questions or help. Also, they are open to suggestions and are making changes/upgrades for an even better experience.

Pros

  • Support
  • Customer Service
  • Walking through problems

Cons

  • Maybe just a few options to customize some of the forms.
  • Individualized reporting.
  • We have the same events year after year, and it might be nice for repeat donors/fundraisers not to have to create a new profile each year.

Most Important Features

  • Ease of use
  • Responsiveness
  • Value

Return on Investment

  • It's allowed us to have several fundraising events going on at the same time without confusion.

Goodworld makes online giving a snap!

Kitty Gordillo
Executive Director at Hollywood Police Activities League (1-10 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Hollywood Police Activities League uses Goodworld for our online giving and events software platform. We started using it last year, and have been pleased with it's user friendly landing page and campaign set ups. It's has definitely helped us streamline our online donation processing and overall online giving has increased. Additionally, we use the Events section for registration of participant and donor events which has gone very well so far. While I'm hoping they can add a couple options I understand are in the works for tailoring some of their pages, we are definitely happy with our transition to using the platform. Previously we were using several different online and point of purchase programs, with information being captured different ways, varying service charges and tracking gifts was messy. By settling under one platform - Goodworld - this also makes importing data into our CRM much more effective.

Pros

  • Ease of creating a branded landing page, Day 1 we were able to set up our main donation page on our website, that looked great, was easy to copy links, and with the page or event set up, it's easy to edit and update.
  • Donor list exports, easy to filter and download
  • Payment - Gift notifications are prompt

Cons

  • I'd like to see the functionality for tweaking event/ticket purchases to allow for a discount code or VIP code. That will allow us more flexibility with our event pages without having to do as much back end additions
  • For Campaigns, I'd like to see the option for Dollars raised without having to include the overall $ Goal. I'd also like to have a few other options for editing donations.
  • As the platform expands, it would be great to have a few more options for event pages to allow for a multiple logos that can have links, to showcase our sponsors better. This may already work, but I'm trying to figure it out better.

Most Important Features

  • Easy setup and flexibility for branded landing pages and campaigns
  • Easy download of donations and contact reports
  • Low cost for the platform making it easy to start for small nonprofits

Return on Investment

  • Using Goodworld, we implemented our first monthly giving campaign and it's going very well. It also helps us keep track and stay engaged with our dedicated donors.
  • We started using Goodworld in December 2021, and have raised over $32K in online donations 4 months with no problems in processing, no calls with issues. We love the ease of use, and confidence that the information is secure.
  • We are planning to kick off a Spare Change campaign soon love the idea of this option
