You have fundraising goals, events to plan, and donor relationships to build. You don’t have time to waste with inefficient workflows, needless manual processes, and difficult logins.
GiveSmart hears you, and we’ve been hard at work rolling out new developments and connections to make it easier than ever to reach your goals.
Recent Updates
PayPal and Venmo
Make it easier than ever for donors to give to your peer-to-peer fundraisers, online donation pages, text-to-give campaigns, and more via PayPal and Venmo, which now considers GiveSmart* a trusted giving partner.
PayPal Checkout complements GiveSmart’s seamless giving features and comes with both PayPal and Venmo. When PayPal is an option, people across generations are more likely to not only donate, but they are more likely to give more.
*As of March 2024, PayPal is only available for select GiveSmart features.
Automated Data Sync
Constituent and transaction data will now automatically sync daily between our fundraising solutions—Fundraise and Events—and GiveSmart Donor CRM. Organizations using our fundraising modules will now be able to easily see an accurate, connected view of their fundraising campaigns and events without the extra manual work.
GiveSmart strives to save you time and effort, and this update removes the opportunity for human error plus allows you to review and analyze your fundraising data in one space for more accurate insights. With this data sync between Events, Fundraise, and Donor CRM, you can also thank donors more quickly, which improves donor retention rates.
Single Sign-On and Easier Navigation
All users can now more easily toggle between platform modules from one menu, using one set of login credentials. Being able to navigate the full GiveSmart suite efficiently, from one screen, saves time and creates a streamlined, functional flow.
Enhanced Activities within Your Events and Campaigns
Bundled GiveSmart users—those that choose our Champion and Expert plans—can now enhance their fundraising by including tools from both GiveSmart modules within one campaign or event. Want to add a wrap-around raffle to your peer-to-peer campaign or a kickoff auction to your annual appeal? Now, that, and so much more, is easier than ever!
Dollars raised roll up, so your goal thermometer reflects the hard effort of your team, volunteers, and donors. This activity data sync also takes the difficulty and confusion out of reporting and saves valuable time.
Organizations using GiveSmart can design unique fundraising initiatives and experiences without limitations on what activities to include or which tools to utilize.
There is no limit to the number of campaigns you can run or tools you can use as a Champion or Expert plan customer.
