Schnaq helps create engaging events. It focuses especially on small and medium-sized events. The main feature is an intelligent live Q&A. While the attendees type in their question, the algorithm is searching for possible answers from your past events and other answers in the background. Those are presented immediately to prevent answering the same questions again and again. Every question can be answered and discussed by the whole audience. The host can mark correct answers, that…

Chose Greater Giving
We actually changed from Greater Giving to Classy, but will probably go back. Classy offered silent auction capabilities that Greater Giving did not.
Chose Greater Giving
I personally prefer Givesmart over Greater Giving. We're now starting to role out Givesmart nationally and the usage of Greater Giving is becoming less and less. There are a few things that Greater Giving is better than Givesmart at...auction donation forms and ticket sales. …
Chose Greater Giving
Greater Giving is on-par with the look and feel of other systems. It is pretty easy to get up to speed without much technical experience. My main complaint is that the underlying system isn't as robust.
Chose Greater Giving
We currently use Eventbrite for our pre-event ticket and sponsorship sales as they have a much more streamlined webpage that is customizable, they allow us to pass on the fees to our purchasers, AND they do not charge an annual fee on top of the processing fees.

However, they do …

Likelihood to Recommend
Greater Giving is well suited for an organization that is looking to save money on their event software and need a full service solution. It is not as sophisticated as others on the market, but it will allow you to get everything you need done for a reasonable price. This is meant to be used by nonprofit event professionals.

Cons
  • Love to see more places to log expenses, so you can run a total report of net income.
  • It's often a bit wide for my screen, which I can work around.

Usability
Greater Giving is very intuitive. It’s easy to set up in the backend and change as needed. Anytime we couldn’t figure something out on our own, our customer service representative was always available and super helpful!

Support Rating
Online support was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had (I would give them a 1). Phone support and implementation support were very nice and knowledgeable.

We currently use Eventbrite for our pre-event ticket and sponsorship sales as they have a much more streamlined webpage that is customizable, they allow us to pass on the fees to our purchasers, AND they do not charge an annual fee on top of the processing fees. However, they do not have the ability to let you swipe a credit card in advance - you need a membership to Bidding for Good to do so. We tried using Eventbrite and Bidding for Good for only 1 event before we switched back to Greater Giving. Neither platform allowed you to send out tax receipts and the on-site event management was subpar compared to the ease of Greater Giving.

Return on Investment
  • Having one system that can manage online donations, ticket purchases, online auction, donor tax letters, etc. has created efficiency for my org.
  • Reports are flawed and lack of data integration with other systems causes me to do a lot of unnecessary manual work.
