GiveSmart Review
We’ve started learning who these donors are…and thanking them. It’s opened our eyes to a whole new set of donors that we didn’t really know existed prior. With GiveSmart it is so much easier. It’s made us so much more aware of our donors and trends.
What’s next is really exciting for us
We’re a fully virtual story, but we’re really really really excited about continuing to use the [GiveSMart] platform for hybrid events and in-person events. We know the system can do it, and we’ve got the confidence that the system will be able to adapt. We’ll be able to replace all of the stuff we’ve done in the past with a system that we really have a lot of confidence in. What’s next is really exciting for us.
GiveSmart Review
The integrations and reporting give me more time to not be in the data and to build the relationships with the people I need to be building relationships with… Without the relationships, we aren’t going to have any donations to enter.
