Good service, but expensive
Our fundraiser went pretty well. I did hear some complaints from our donors about how expensive their fee was. A $500 donation turned into $460.

Simple, Easy and Effective!
We used GiveForward to raise money for a project in a remote village in Panama. The ease of sending the link to friends and family was ideal for raising awareness, which helped us raise all of the money we needed. In addition, having the donor be able to pay the processing fees was ideal and almost all of our donors chose to do this, which helped us reach our goal even faster!
Very good site
I'm so glad I found give forward! We were able to collect almost enough to pay for Kelley's funeral expense. The burial expenses were easier to handle with not worrying about the price of the funeral home. We were able to give her a very nice send off to Heaven. Thank you very much!!!
What a Blessing!
In a horrible tragedy came this site that was very easy to use and made it possible for us to meet our goal needed within days. With the option for the donors to pay the fees I was truly able to do what needed to be done with the money we collected. Words cannot describe how wonderful this site was to my family and I.

It was a great way to help family during a difficult time.
Overall, this is a great website. Very easy to set up and for people to use. Daily transfers were very helpful. There was one transaction hat was made in error and took some back and forth and time to correct and thus giving 4 stars. Other than that, would highly recommend it.

Very easy to use, great support and safe website.
Give forward is a great way to raise money for a worthy cause using social media sights. You can upload pictures, change your message and watch your donations rise to reach your goal.
Simply One of the best things that ever happened to us
My husband was in a horrible motorcycle accident 11/17/2014 one of his high school friends saw what I had posted on Facebook, she asked if I would allow her to have a fund raiser to help with all the expenses since he would not be working, it was so foreign to me, to be the one that needed help another friend said just say yes. Give Forward results were unbelievable, people I had never met gave thousands of dollars. We ended up with almost $7600.00 which went a long way to help with medical deductibles and other expenses. Because of the Give Forward fund raiser another group gave us another fund raiser too which help a great deal too. People brought food to our home and reached out in ways I never knew would happen. Thank you Give Forward.

This was a great fundrasing experience for people in need! Thank you.
This was really a great experience helping for funeral expenses. I greatly appreciated finding this. After the fundraising ended the check was promptly in the mail. Thanks again.
Awesome
So glad I looked into using Give Forward. Amazed at the people who donated to help me with medical bills. It's was awesome and humbling. Will always be grateful!
Only one bug in the process, otherwise a wonderful experience.
All-in-all, it was an incredibly wonderful experience, with great customer service and support, and even in support of our charity itself, promoting it and making a donation.
The only problem was the amount of spam donations we received. They were always refunded, but it got a little overwhelming and confusing at times. But again, GiveForward was always quick to help or answer questions.
Highly recommended.

Best way to fundraise.
I was so easy to set up. Automatic Facebook posts.
What a helpful and up to date site!
We didn't know what to expect when starting our fundraiser but couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised and thankful with the outcome!
giveforward always
I loved using Giveforward as my fundraising site. It was easy to maneuver through the site and I got a ton of support throughout the length of my fundraiser. I loved having a fundraising coach. I was concerned about having those making the donation pay the "fees", but I found that it was not an issue and all of the people who donated had no problem paying the small "fees".
Great easy way to donate-
Loved the ease of it. Seemed a little much when I reached my $900 and they kept putting posts to get $1000, $2000... When I only needed $900. But am so grateful
For low fees also

Convenient but pricey.
It is a great tool to raise money. The cost for the service persuaded people to not use the service but to donate to my family personally instead.

GiveForward played a big role in my daughters new lease on life!!!
We exceeded our goal raising the funds to help with my daughters kidney transplant. GiveForward is user friendly.
What a Positive Experience!!
GiveForward was the perfect tool for our fundraiser! I would recommend GiveForward to anyone organizing a fund raiser on behalf of a loved one. The assistance and support I received was immediate and thorough when needed. My team ended up with a highly positive response for our event.
Easy setup and great service.
It was very easy to set up and get te funds when needed. Was nice knowing people who donated has security when doing so.
Very Easy to Use
GiveForward made my job much easier! It was a quick and easy way for our company to raise money. Every time I had a question, I was able to quickly get an answer. I would definitely use GiveForward again.
This website saved us!
Givefoward was a blessing. I created a website in my dads name for him battling stage 2 tongue cancer. His treatment was extremely aggressive so he was unable to work. With him and my step-mother being in florida and the rest of his family in charlotte, nc, I felt helpless in being able to help them out. Being a nurse, I know what kind of financial toll having cancer can take on someone. I began searching for a way to raise money when I came across this website. I set it up not expecting much when something unexpected happened. We raised close to $5,000 for my dad through this website. This website connected us with family, friends and complete strangers in all areas of the world to help my dad. People were skeptical as to how much really went to my dad but I made sure to assure everyone every single penny went to him minus the 2.9% transaction fee. It was simply amazing and my family and I are eternally grateful. My dad is now cancer free and is back at work and almost back to his baseline health. This website did so much for him and I can't thank you enough!
