GiveForward Reviews 219

I used giveforward.com to fundraise for my brother-in-law's funeral expenses. It is incredibly user friendly, the contributors were pleased with how easy it was for them to donate (we had quite a few out-of-towners donating), and the funds were transferred quickly and effortlessly to the memorial fund at our bank. It's a great way to fundraise for any occasion.

From time to time we all come in contact with someone going through a difficult time. We look for ways to help their burden. This website made it so easy for create a fundraiser that was accessible to so many people! We were helped all through the process from the set up to the final donations. But it made a huge difference in the lives of the people we were trying to help. I hope to NOT have to use this in the future but if I come across someone who needs assistance, I would certainly turn to Give Forward in a heart beat!!

I was the first person my best friend called when she discovered her son was murdered. As numerous persons visited their home over the next few days, I felt the need to do more than help with food and greeting people. I turned to the internet and found GiveForward. What an amazing tool. It was easy to set up, my friends received the much needed money to cover costs and I didn't have to do follow up. It was all handled automatically. LOVE your site. Thank you for such a great product.

I had a excellent experience, was easy to check on how it was going, was easy to cash out, thank u so much I loved it, your a god send

It is not easy to just trust online "fundraisers" because there are scams. GiveForward is different. They demonstrate trustworthiness, and user friendly. I had a question about holding off the automatic disbursement function. I received an answer within a couple of hours, and the person was able to cancel the payment. Once. That was fair. It is not their policy to be a bank, therefore they payout as they go along, but they could cancel the disbursement one time. I like this fundraiser group. I do wish they could do not for profit too.

Received only one donation and it was from the great grandmother, no one even bothered with our story.

I was able raise enough money to bury a friend who died unexpectantly and with no family or life insurance. The fees were low and site offered a lot of great features like allowing people to comment, being able to email updates to all donors, etc. I would highly recommend this site over the more popular sites that take a larger cut from your donations.

Collecting and processing money, keeping track of supporters, keeping the supporters informed in a timely fashion, and direct "marketing" is all part of the service. Plus, a coach when needed. It would take a whole squad of volunteers to replace Giveforward. What else need be said?

Times were rough, we didn't know where or how to go about raising money for my sons mounting medical bills. Through a friend, advised us to try "Giveforward" They guided us through the process and the rest is history. We were able to raise enough money to cover a few months living expenses after his devastating heart attack. His wife was able to stay home with the kids and Jeremy. It meant the world to them all the prayers and funds that raised to help them.
I can't say enough about how pleased we were to have "Giveforward" on our side.
God Bless and again. Thank you!

Give Forward was the best way that I found to set up a fund to help the family of our friend. They were very easy to work with and helped us every step of the way. Thanks, Give Forward!

Hey there,

Thank you so much for making my fundraiser such a wonderful and pain free experience. The simplicity you provided was incomparable. Thanks again!!

It was slightly nerve wracking getting the initial deposits set up. Especially when it's done through another site, wepay. Patience never was my strong suit. But once everything got set up, it worked wonderfully. My advice is have patience during the set up. These things don't happen so fast as they would for an insurance companies auto-payment.

We needed to raise money for a memorial service. Give forward was easy to use, and it save us a lot of time and stress. Through the website we were able to update our followers, friends and family, send thank you emails, and track how much we had received in donations. I definitely recommend the site.

We were intimidated, at first, with starting a fundraiser. We found that Giveforward had a very good reputation. It was very user-friendly and the customer support is out of this world! You are assigned a personal coach to go along with your fundraiser. We are glad we used it. We had a successful fundraiser and recommend it to many!

My best friend Tommy Was diagnosed with Cancer. I wanted to do something for him and his wife Nicole to help with the cost of treatment. Well Tommy didn't get to the stage of getting treatment and lost his fight to Cancer. The money that was raised is now helping his wife Nicole deal with bills and getting her life back on track. The system , Dashboard and customer support was outstanding.
I would like to thank everyone for their support and help that we gave Tommy and Nicole.

I can't thank giveforward enough for their platform I was able to raise over $20,000 to help my niece the only slight downside is the percentage of each donation that gets paid to the website for fees. After collecting over 20,000 dollars in donations giveforward end up making over $2000 that could have been added to the total raised. Aside from a slightly high donation fee I was extremely happy with the platform and the layout of everything on the website. Very easy to use system and simple to set uo and maintain. They only lost 1 start with me bacause i feel the fees are a little too high but everything else with this company is amazing.

Giveforward was a great place to have our fundraiser for Dina. Everyone was able to donate seemlessly and it couldn't have been easier. Our representative was always available to help us with any questions we had and always answered within 24hours, if not sooner. This was a great help for Dina's family during the hard times.

Of the several crowd fundraisers I researched, this one was the the best because while it does have operating fees like many of these types of businesses, it allows those donating to cover the costs so that the person in desperate need of funds receives they full amount pledged. I know beneficiaries who have lost thousands of dollars because of the fees associated. It was great to give those donating the option to pay the fee. I also got prompt help when I had questions during the process of managing my fundraiser and someone checked in periodically to make sure any questions or concerns I may have had were dealt with quickly.

I was super hesitant about starting a fund raiser like this. Raising money for my sister to assist with her illness seemed like a daunting task. Giveforward was so easy to set up, monitor and get the funds I needed to my bank. Great customer support guiding you along the way. I looked at other sites and this seemed to have the lowest fees. I was skeptical at first, but when the donations started pouring in it was nice to be able to track it.

Starting and managing our Fundraiser was so easy -- your coaching, the tools, the articles, the tips and tricks - they seamlessly came together to produce a result we couldn't have dreamed of. The significant financial boost (almost $20K!) will help this young man and his fiancé focus on beating cancer and getting better-- knowing their bills are covered. The entire family is so appreciative - and so am I! Serving as Team Leader on this fundraiser was an incredible experience... and I've never felt more useful, helpful and resourceful to a friend in such a dark and scary time.
