GiveGab Review

PROS: I suppose this product would be good for those who have very little experience in setting up fundraising platforms. It's relatively simple from an admin perspective, but not amazing by any stretch of the imagination.

CONS: - There were a lot of other issues with our experience, but in a nutshell it was a bait and switch. I hear a lot of wonderful things about the GivingDay functionality of GiveGab, but for P2P I'd look elsewhere. -The P2P platform is difficult to navigate from both the Admin and the user sides. The user experience looks and feels as though it was built 10+ years ago. Figuring out how to sign in should be easy. -Fees are relatively high compared to other P2P fundraising platforms. Unknown hidden fees. We signed up for the annual contract at 2% transaction fees, but in reality between GiveGab and Stripe, they take nearly 10% from donations. Granted there is an option for donors to cover fees, but several of our peer fundraisers were turned off by the high fees. Many opted in sending donations directly to us. -Bookkeepers beware! Payout reports are bare and disorganized. Registration fees are donations are not separated. To get an accurate accounting report, you'll have to combine three reports. You'd think with such high fees, you'd have to do less work, but that is not the case here.

PROS: It takes away a lot of our stress by making certain processes more easy.

CONS: It should be available in more languages so international organizations can also benefit from GiveGab.

PROS: Everyone in our team was able to access the program right after we acquired it. We are surprised as to how easy it is to create a fund raising campaign without any coding needed.

CONS: An added functionality that would allow us to accept money even if the platform is in offline mode or in case we don’t have any internet access.

PROS: I love that it comes with specific tools that can help us achieve our fund raising goals. Using GiveGab has helped us build trust and camaraderie with our donors. Also the support team is very responsive.

CONS: Not much options for personalization which is what we are after. But overall the product is okay.

PROS: Very easy for us to ask for donations from peers and other sources. In case we need to fund more projects all at one then it's very possible to launch several donation drives using the app. The flexibility of the program allows us to access it wherever we go that is why my colleagues love using GiveGab.

CONS: We are currently enjoying the use of GiveGab so I really cannot make any negative comments about the product. I like that all donations are being tracked and stored in a centralized manner making it more organized.

PROS: I like GiveGab because all its features are very intuitive and straightforward. There is no needs for extra classes or time consuming tutorials to learn how to use the tool. The money that we are collecting are kept safe in the platform and we were able to meet people who are totally supportive of our charity projects.

CONS: One of the main concerns that we had to raise is the fees that are being charged to the client and the amount that goes to GiveGab. There are some people who think that donating via GiveGab is quite costly.

PROS: One of the things that I admire about the program is its straightforward approach to campaign fund raising events. It is equipped with the features that you need to improve the quality of your online presentation. It makes the process of seeking donation relatively easy because you get to receive the money in just a day or two.

CONS: Nothing major if you’d ask me. But I would like to have more options in terms of templates, fonts and backgrounds. I want each campaign to be unique so I’d like GiveGab to be more creative.

PROS: It’s a trusted platform that has been existing for a long time. Millions of people use it to seek donations and the money transfer process has always been secure. Give Gab comes with a list of features that you can use to maximize your NPO campaigns.

CONS: A little learning curve is quite expected since it's the first time for my team to use GiveGab. Our main challenges are layouts, uploading of photos and video clips.

PROS: Our office has been using this platform for years already for its yearly donation drive and for its other projects that would help sponsor kids that could not afford to go to school. I’ve noticed that whenever we launched a campaign it is seldom that people gave us a hard time or rejected us. One of the reasons is that they see that GiveGab is a legitimate and trusted platform where they could entrust their donation money.

CONS: I think that GiveGab should provide us more training materials on how to use the platform effectively. Although I find it pretty simple to launch campaigns and share it via social media I found out that some of my peers are struggling to cope with the change. They are used to seeking donations the traditional way so GiveGab is something new to them. Providing them with the tools that they need to succeed is one of the agendas that we have on our list.
