GiveForward Reviews 219

Our little girl got sick and we needed money for her medical care. We raised every penny of our goal amount using GiveForward and now our little girl is much better. I love how it allowed me to update those who gave through Facebook and email. They also provided a personal contact person to answer our questions. We could not have done it without Giveforward!

This was very simple to set up and just as easy to get donations to the family in need. There are no strings attached and it is very secure. I would recommend it to anyone and will use it again in the future.

last year at this time my friend was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. She was told about a surgery called hipec, she went in for surgery in September and has been cancer free. Thank you for all of the donations give forward and all of the generous people who donated helped my friend in her time of need.

GiveForward was easy to use and transparent. I would recommend this service to anyone.

I was praying for a way to raise money for my friends son who has a brain tumor and needed proton therapy in St. Louis. One day I decided to get on line and search for some guidance in this area. I happened upon GiveForward and the rest is history. It was easy to set up and I was shocked at the generosity of so many wonderful, caring people. We exceeded our goal. I work with cancer patients and have passed this information to many of my families. I know that through GiveForward they will be able to receive the financial help to ease their burden.

We loved using GiveForward.com to raise money for our friends. They made it easy to use and we raised over $15,000.

Helpful suggestions through out. Money was deposited pretty much daily. Issues resolved in a very timely manner. Even though we didn't quite meet our goal, we still raised enough that we should be able to make it through the rest some how. We are very surprised and grateful to all of our friends, family and acquaintances who supported Les in his efforts. Trust me, he will make all of you proud, he's working extremely hard toward his goals.

The September 2013 flood in Longmont, CO wrecked havoc on the new home (only 6 weeks after move in) of the Wosachlo Family. Insurance covered very little and FEMA help was not enough. Give Forward allowed us to solicit donations from friends of the family both near and far - bringing relief in the form of money, which was what they needed the most. I was happy to help organize and write the updates of the cleanup progress. It helped having a platform that could accept the donation, rather than have money come to me. We could present the Wosachlo family with one check for a large amount - it was such an easy process!

I'm generally happy with my experience raising funds for a friend's medical expenses through GiveForward, but I found payment options confusing as they're through a 3rd party that isn't as responsive as the GiveForward people are. Plus, I sometimes found the GiveForward website itself to have a confusing array of options that weren't helpful. Once we'd reached our goal, GiveForward continued sending out notices to my Facebook feed asking for donations and I got no response from the team about how to shut down the fundraiser before the time span. But it did work to get the money into deserving hands and I would probably do it again despite the difficulties.

When my best friend was killed in a car accident, I started a GiveForward page to help collect money for her family. The support team was fabulous and my friend's mom received the check before the expected date. Thanks for all the help in such a time of great need!

GiveForward made it so easy to collect donations for my childhood best friend's family when her dad passed away suddenly of a heart attack. We were able to raise over $1000 to help his wife Cindy with his funeral costs and she was beyond grateful for the overwhelming response from the fundraiser!

When my brother was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma, he faced an uphill battle. He was the primary wage-earner in his family, and not being able to work put incredible stress on their finances. He didn't need to worry about money while trying to get better.

The GiveForward fundraiser was a great way to help alleviate some of his financial burdens while giving friends and family an easy way to help out. So many people wanted to help him during such a difficult time in his life, and our fundraising page gave them the ability to help financially as well as provide a space for words of encouragement. Those uplifting messages meant as much (or more) to him than the donations.

Sadly, many families will face difficult and scary health problems. I would highly recommend GiveForward to anyone who is confronted with health-related financial problems. I really appreciated the application's ease of use, especially because I wanted to focus on my brother and not spend hours trying to make a new software program work properly.

Thanks GiveForward! I'm so glad your company was around during such a difficult time.

I shopped around several fund raising sites before starting the fundraiser for a poet who had to flee her home and was left with almost nothing. I almost went with another site because of a lower percentage fee, but decided against it due to (a) an earlier successful fundraiser I'd heard about on GiveForward, (b) GiveForward's coaches, who are super helpful and very accessible (I called and talked to one of them before starting the fundraiser, and was impressed, and then called again several times with questions), (c) the WePay system meant that raised money was deposited daily into the bank account I set up for the fundraiser, (d) the graphics are just so beautiful on GiveForward - the fund raiser just *looked* nicer than the other sites.

I'm very glad I went with GiveForward. I raised over $6000 for the poet, and the moral support she felt from people half way across the world was worth perhaps even more. I am delighted with, and grateful to, GiveForward for making it all possible.

Give Forward was fantastic to work with! Everything was easy to set up and once it was it was super easy to share the link so everyone could see it. If I need to I will definitely use it again!

Giveforward was so easy to use and the staff was always available to help with ideas on promoting our cause. We got the funds we needed to save the life of a much loved member of my business, C.J. our house dog. Her cancer is in remission and she is back to work greeting clients and we are so grateful.

The website was easy and the help center was quick at getting back with me with any problems I did have. The money raised helped out the Mishkin family through there difficult time. It helped get money to the family for medical expensive from their family and friends from over seas. Awesome experience to be able to do that for them!

I actually had a good time creating my fundraiser. Although it was/is a medical illness. The people that helped me through it all and gave me tips on how to raise more money, They made what I thought was going to be a grueling process was FUN and easy. I had the best experience trying to help a family. I have 3 friends that used Givefoward.com after me and also had success. The website is so friendly I offered to help them with theirs. This is a very trustworthy company! This experience is something I will never forget! I will continue to scream to the world about you all!! Thank you again for all you do.

GF was easy to set up, reliable and honest, and easy for those individuals to navigate and give their wonderful gifts of financial and verbal support. The Tyrells thank you for its existence.

The Give Forward experience was as seamless as possible. Any issues we encountered were quickly addressed personally by real people, not by computers. The check was sent very quickly. The circumstances under which we had to raise funds for a friend were unfortunate but Give Forward made it easy and a successful fundraising effort. We had the sense through the whole experience that they truly cared.

I was hesitant but it was worth it. Easy to set up and not a lot of fees taken out. The people who got the money I raised said they did not have any issues. The hardest part was it was for a kid but the check went to mom so I had to make sure that is what was logged on the website.
