"This (GiveSmart) offers us the ability to do things so much differently than we ever did before. We knew that it would keep track of our donations, names, and e-mail addresses, and that it would help us with reporting. But the BEST thing about GiveSmart, for sure, is that we can fundraise all these creative ways.” 

– Alex C., Manager of Development at OTR Housing 

Best-in-Class Plans, Support, and Services

GiveSmart’s full suite of features doesn’t require multiple add-ons to support your mission and goals.

Our straightforward plans are designed with the modern nonprofit in mind, without the need, and cost, of constant à la carte add-ons. Bloomerang requires you to pay more to access payment processing, which is included in every single GiveSmart plan.
GS_Onecause-51
Our support team is available when you need them via phone, chat, and email, working those nights and weekends, too. Bloomerang requires you to pay when you need phone support, and they are not always open when you’re working.
GS_Onecause-50
Our Donor CRM offers an easy-to-use, donor-centered solution that moves your mission forward. Users get immediate access to advanced, elastic search capabilities, which make finding donors easy and efficient. With Bloomerang, you don’t get this option unless you pay even more.

Bloomerang’s price tag balloons quickly, and you still would not even have everything GiveSmart offers. Bloomerang doesn’t have auction fundraising, recurring giving, in-platform livestreaming, or support that works when you do.

Donor Centered

Your supporters deserve simple and convenient ways to get involved, and you and your team deserve the tools that allow your organization to do what you do best—wowing your donors and stewarding relationships.  

With GiveSmart, your donors can give from anywhere. Your fully customizable homepage makes it easy to share updates and information, keeping your supporters informed at a glance.  

Payment processing and donor-friendly digital wallets are included in every GiveSmart plan. With Bloomerang, you must purchase these features separately. 

During your galas, golf outings, and other campaigns, GiveSmart not only offers live Remote Technicians so you can spend quality time with your donors, but we also bring you onsite staffing via our Smart Partners program. At the end of the night, our self-checkout automates the payment and acknowledgment process, leaving more time for you to engage and connect with your supporters. 

After your campaigns are over, our robust platform reporting and modern Donor CRM supports your management of the backend from anywhere, too.  

GiveSmart is the donor centered choice that moves your mission forward.
