There are many technologies out there to support nonprofits, schools, and associations. Some don’t have auction capabilities, guest management, or CRM features to best support your goals.

GiveSmart is the built-to-grow fundraising and donor management solution that can do it all. When compared to Classy, there are some key differences that you should consider when deciding which solution will work best for your nonprofit, school, or association and your donors.

GiveSmart Features for Success

Some of our highest impact, easy-to-use features are included in every GiveSmart plan with standard pricing no matter if you're raising $1 or $1 million.

If you want to host more than one fundraiser at a time, operate without limits to how many you can have per year and without extra (and surprise) fees—Classy wouldn’t work for you. Even at the highest tier, there are additional costs to get the features equal to those offered by GiveSmart.

GiveSmart fundraising plans offer:

Unlimited users/admins
Robust knowledge base
Dozens of included integrations
Connected, supporter communications (text, email, messaging)
Item management
Gamification and included “out of the box” features
Guest management (seating management, custom questions)
In-kind giving
Regular, dependable support regardless your chosen plan

" ... we were looking for a product that would help us streamline online donations, make it easier to people to donate from their phones, and set up fundraisers on their own. Looked into Classy and Blackbaud's peer-to-peer products. Went with GiveSmart because they offered the same services without a transaction fee for each donation...”

Auctions, Mobile Bidding, Event Guest Management, and Donor Management

GiveSmart’s full suite of features doesn’t require multiple add-ons to support your mission and goals.

Our straightforward plans are designed with the modern nonprofit in mind, without the need, and cost, of constant à la carte add-ons and hidden fees.

Our auction and mobile bidding tools feature easy-to-use item procurement, an engaging leaderboard, easy-to-surf auction campaigns, contactless check-out, and more.

Our Donor CRM offers an easy-to-use, donor-centered solution that moves your mission forward.

Classy’s hefty price tag can balloon even more depending on features used – like auctions, the amount raised, users, donation size, and more. For similar, easy-to-use features at a set price, GiveSmart is the award-winning choice.
