Curious how this stacks up to incumbents like Classy (http://www.classy.org) ... assuming "Shopify meets Salesforce" means fundraising and constituent management.

@rperdue hey Robby. ge is actually an in-house CRM and full donor management system (Classy requires you have your own CRM). Our integrated system means lower cost to nonprofits, less time spent on admin and more funds raised.
@rperdue Hey Robby, I can only really speak to @Classy, but we are definitely more campaign / event oriented and then we compliment that with a best-in-class Salesforce integration. At the same time, we have light-weight CRM features built in, and our smaller organizations will use us for fundraising + CRM until they are ready to get a full fledged CRM system for donor management (in which case we typically recommend Salesforce) -- however, if GiveEffect is complimentary to @Classy, we should check it out as well!.
@guygal Yes indeed. In addition, GE white-labels their fundraising platform/pages into the nonprofit's own website... then GE's own marketplace showcases campaigns that they wish to share w/ the community.
I'd love to try this w/ a nonprofit I work with but the price is just way too high. We're boostrapped right now and something like Action Network is free and NationBuilder would only cost us like 50 bucks a month and gives some added functionality. While they might not be as good as on the CRM front as Giveffect, which does look great, at this stage we have to sacrifice some functionality for price.
If there was a lower tier I bet there's a big market out there for npos at this size who could really grow into big plans w/ you guys.
@joeconte Thanks for the feedback, Joe! atm, we are most aligned product/market fit for clients with annual rev of at least 2mm and above. We find that these clients are desperately looking for a better alternative to say Donor Perfect or Blackbaud (both on pricing and functionality) and that's where we come in. In the near future, we most def hope to evolve to better serve organizations like yours that are doing equally inspiring work in their communities. Having said that, please shoot us an email at contact@giveffect.org and let's see if we can help in some way!
Solid platform and team. They've put a lot of care in building out useful features that are helpful in the day-to-day operations of nonprofits.
Ryerson University is currently doing a campus-wide, faculty vs faculty campaign for orphan sponsorship with GE and it's been AMAZING! We've raised over $17,000 in 2 weeks, and a lot of it has to do with how multi-dimensional this platform is. Everyone at Ryerson loves how user friendly the website is and I always receive support within hours of contacting their team. Amazing platform, I definitely recommend it!
Check out the campaign! https://www.giveffect.com/campai...
@ridwannach Congrats with the fundraising success on GE! Your community is still going strong! This is a great example of how individuals can mobilize themselves towards a great cause without the involvement of the organization. They just need the right tools to do it, in a way that allows them to customize their campaign.
This is amazing. We've worked with integrating donor management with event software and this has it in one spot. Perfect for the busy non-profit that needs a crazy simple tech solution.
