GiveForward Reviews 219

This sites was able to help raise funds for funeral costs for a young man who passed away way to young. We were able to raise well over $5,000 in less than a month and the family received the funds promptly.
Thank you Giveforward!!

Giveforward gave us the ability to truly help save my husbands life! We needed to raise money for cancer treatment out of the country and needed the quickest/ easiest way to spread the word to raise the funds. The website was so was so easy to use from the registration process all the way until the payout period. Everytime my husband received a payment posting or just a message of support, it lifted his spirits and got him through the difficult days of his treatment. He was in tears many times as he was touched how many people were willing to help (happy tears of course). Being able to link to Facebook was instrumental in the success of our fundraiser!!

We have since given the give forward information to other families who are in similiar situations and have also contributed to their pages. As cliche as it sounds it truly is about "giving forward"

Give Forward gave us the opportunity to get assistance with payment for our son's surgery without feeling like we were asking for money. People who wanted to and could help were able to do so without feeling obligation or pressure and know that it was going to a true cause. Thanks!

We loved Giveforward's clean website that made it easy to set up and run a fundraiser. We were able to support our loved one and could trust GiveForward.

Thanks!

This is a wonderful organization that helps out in the time of our need. The best part is that its very easy to create a donation page & send out to family & friends to help out in donating & or passing to others the donation page. As we go through difficult time taking care of a love one it brings comfort to know others care.

When my 21 year old daughter was murdered in November 2013, I was unable to pay for her funeral. I turned to Give Forward for help. It was easy to set up and we raised $6500 in a week. They quickly remitted payment when the goal was reached. Without Give Forward, we would have never been able to properly honor the life of my daughter. Thank you to Give Forward and all those who donated. I can never repay the kindness of all those that donated, and am sincerely grateful to Give Forward for being there to help in my families time of need and sorrow.

I set up a fund for my fiance on GiveForward after he was involved in a very serious accident and had a ton of medical bills. It was easy to set up and stress free, I actually did it from the hospital. I also loved that I could post updates and send thank yous directly from their system. They were the second best rates I found but their system was definitely my first pick.

We loved using giveforward.com. it was very easy to use and we received the money that was donated with no problem, and quickly. I highly recommend using them.

This website helped us out tremendously. It provided a safe space for people to donate money to our cause. I have reccommended it to others, and they have been so happy with it.

Next time I fundraise, I am absolutely going to use this site. Thanks so much.

Absolutely wonderful way to help my friend, everything was easy to use, all communication was effective, and everything worked out great.

Worked so good that I'm about to use it again

What I don't like...google my name or any of the team members (including my 14yo) and links come up including pictures that were added in the giveforward listing. I don't like that anyone can find this readily available. I did this to help my best friend's daughter, I did not do this for people in my past to get a look into my life or that of my daughters. I thought the info/pics I provided would be kept within the site, not spread to search engines.

I had a great experience with give forward. Anytime i had any questions they were very helpful and got back to me as soon as they could. This website helped my family out alot being able to raise money online.

I raised $3,943 in memory of my canine soul mate. We're using the money to make Lilly's Fund grants to dogs in need of expensive veterinary care. I looked at a lot of options that were way too frustrating and way too complicated, then a friend who had researched medical crowd-funding sites recommended GiveForward. I'm so glad she did. GiveForward did EVERYTHING they promised ... including automatically wiring money raised to my account each week. I had access to a personal fundraising coach who helped me effectively use the site's tools. I know most people use GiveForward for human medical expenses, but it works great for veterinary expenses too. I LOVE that the site gives donors the option of paying the transaction fees. The vast majority of people chose that option, so I only had to cover about $10 in fees for the entire campaign.

I was able to set up my funding page very quickly and get the word out to friends and family in very little time. Given that my experience was in the midst of a personal loss it was very comforting to find funding system that was easy to use and maintain.

My best friend passed away in February. He went quickly so there was little time to plan a funeral. Thanks to give forward, we raised what we needed in 3 days. We ended up receiving twice as much as our goals was.

I went through a very difficult year dealing with my wife's illness. GiveForward did two things.

The first is, they were instrumental in helping me raise a lot of money. That did a lot to remove a big element of stress that could have been part of my year's journey.

The second is that it wound up creating a beautiful community centered on my wife's battle. It was great to give updates and receive so many supportive responses from the community.

Finally, whenever I had any questions, the people at GiveForward were very responsive and helpful.

Thank you GiveForward

After my dad died,My 39 year old brother died a month later...Are hearts were crushed..... I had no idea where I was going to get the money for his wake... Than I found this site...I raised enough money for it all.,,Wirds are not enough Giveforward is amazing......and made the finacal part part of it easy.........Thank you Giveforward

Would suggest a little tutorial, steps 1,2,3. Toughest part is viewing latest list of donors and their comments to share with the recipient. Overall good experience and great tool to raise needed funds.

To see how much people care especially when you are going through such a hard time is really Utterly Amazing! My sister-in-law passed away with no Insurance, with the help of GiveForward and many loving friends we raised $5,000 for her funeral. which was our set goal. We couldn't have done it without GiveForward.
