Givergy - "The New Kid On The Block"

This past year I’ve had the opportunity to be introduced to the Givergy “New Kid On The Block” in the fundraising event technology space. Givergy was founded in England in 2009 and they quickly dominated the fundraising/gala space in the UK due to their award winning interface and fab customer service.
Givergy recently expanded to the United States and is quickly gaining popularity. It’s easy to see why organizations and donors alike love using their system. Its brilliant for Auctioneers as well. Below are my top reasons why I think Givergy is great for giving.
  • 1) Easy Interface: I’ve worked with tons of mobile giving / giving technology companies over the years. I think I’ve worked with almost all of them. Givergy has a beautifully designed interface. It not only looks beautiful and hip and modern and sleek, but it is easy to navigate for donors of any age. Don’t discount design - it is the reason Apple products are so successful. They are beautiful to look at, intuitive to the user and are easy to use. Givergy is the same.
  • 2) Live Auction use: Most giving technology companies haven’t figured out yet how to work technology into the Live Auction (there’s some job security for me). However, Givergy has. Givergy has sleek, black tablets that can be placed on every table at your event that showcase your live auction items. Let your donors peruse your Live auction items by scrolling through bright, full color, high-res photos and detailed descriptions tablet style.
  • 3) Fund-A-Need Dream: 90% of the clients that I’ve worked with that have used Givergy choose to use it for their Fund-A-Need. It is soooo easy to use for donors. And on my end - it is beyond easy to explain from the stage. Explain from the stage can make or break an event. It can kill the momentum if your charity fundraising auctioneer has to take lots of time explaining how to use giving technology. But with Givergy, the instructions are simple. Pick up the tablet, find your name, choose your donation amount and confirm.

If you are considering using technology at your next fundraising event, be sure to check out Givergy. And don’t choose a technology partner based upon price. Encourage your board to try out each one, all companies will create a dummy site for you and you can see what it is like from your guest/donor perspective. My guess is, after doing your research and trying out a few technologies, you will choose Givergy.
