Make Sure Your Fundraising Doesn’t Have the Same Rocky Road as the Choco Taco 

Choco-Taco-Gif_960x380

The Choco Taco was supposed to be quietly taken out of production. What few at Klondike expected, though, is that fans on a sugar high of nostalgia pleaded for it to stay in freezers and ice cream trucks. 

In response, Klondike has reversed its initial decision, and won’t keep it permanently discontinued. That taco-encased frozen treat had some major resilience, especially for ice cream! Every ingredient in a Choco Taco is delightful on its own, but together they make a beloved product. 

Your fundraising and donor management tools should be the same—individually great and together spectacular. Set up your mission for success to be JUST as resilient and capable of facing any obstacle.  

Curious about how to add GiveSmart as à la mode for your mission? Talk to our experts today.  

GiveSmart Fundraise is Your Shell 

GiveSmart Fundraise is the foundation you need to hold together your year-round fundraising. Its dependable features are diverse and customizable, yet scale for any sized organization.  

From customizable, embeddable online donation forms to unlimited peer-to-peer campaigns and text-to-donate, Fundraise is a solid, crunchy base on which you can build your year-round fundraising plans. 

GiveSmart Events is Your Ice Cream Filling 

A Choco Taco would be nothing without the ice cream filling. It is the substance that makes the dessert.  

GiveSmart Events features fill your fundraising taco in the same way by enabling the success of your events. And, with our Events module, you can scoop as many auctions and ticketed events as you’d like.  

From dynamic ticketing to guest management and donor marketing tools and more, our Events module is the sweet filling that fulfills your mission.  

GiveSmart Donor CRM is your Chocolate Lining and Chocolate Dipped Topping  

It can be argued that toppings take a dessert to the next level. Chocolate is always a good idea, and you’ll get chocolate in every bite of the Choco Taco.  

The same is true about your donor strategy. It touches every aspect of your fundraising plan from annual appeal success to event turnout, just like that delightful chocolate lining. The chocolate topping perfectly finishes your Choco Taco, and it would be missing something without it—just like your fundraising goals without donor retention and stewardship plans.  

Donor CRM is the modern, easy-to-use, secure choice that best enables tracking, thanking, and retaining your donors to give again.  

All aspects of GiveSmart— Fundraise, Events, and Donor CRM—create your fundraising taco and allow you the peace of mind that your campaigns, events, and donor engagement are secure, resilient, flexible, delightful, and can support all your endeavors and help you face any challenges. Get started with GiveSmart today.

What our clients say

We needed a platform to make sales online and to track and display ads for our sponsors. GiveSmart was perfect. We ended up making close to $15,000 more than we had hoped for. Definite better ROI than we anticipated. The interface is easy to use and provides plenty of options to get help if needed.

The Rotary Club of South Whidbey Island

Using GS has created ease in auction bookkeeping, payments, and generating post-event thank you/tax letters. While we were online during COVID, our interactions with our GiveSmart via phone, email, and zoom were seamless. A representative always got back to us within the day. I would recommend GiveSmart to anyone doing a large online event.

GiveSmart is highly flexible - you can use it for [a] simple registration and check-in, to full-scale galas with complex order forms, onsite upsells, live auctions, seating management, and more.

GiveSmart is easy to use and ideal for virtual events and can be used for in-person events to manage the silent auction, seating charts, and check-in to the event. Being able to use the platform for unlimited events within the contract year is very useful and being able to add other users and volunteers for different levels of access is helpful as well.
