Testimonials

"The Evergreen giving day platform may be the most efficient, informative and effective giving day software on the market. It is attractive, informative and cost effective. After using a more costly giving day platform the first year, we decided to try Evergreen and found it to be 10 times more efficient for one-tenth of the cost. This is an easy decision for us each year."

"This will be our eighth year for our giving day and our third year working with Evergreen. The experience we had using other giving platforms compared to Evergreen is night and day. Evergreen has made our giving day more user friendly and efficient to process in our office. Their excellent customer service has made the experience even more enjoyable. If you are trying to decide between software companies for your giving day, I wouldn't think twice about using Evergreen!"

"When we decided to create Crawford Gives, our greatest concern was about what company we would partner with to create our web presence. We wanted a product that would be easy to use by our staff and donors. An intuitive and user-friendly interface was important too. We also wanted to make sure the product would stand up to the traffic we generated. And, we didn't want to spend our entire budget on technology so that we could provide a greater amount of money to our nonprofit organizations. Evergreen provided us with a cost-effective solution that provided all the features we needed. Our inaugural Crawford Gives was a bigger success than expected and the site performed as promised. We received many compliments from donors about how simple it was to make a gift. We're excited to work with Evergreen again next year!"

"Five years into our Giving Day, we've worked with a total of three platforms. Evergreen, by far, has the greatest ROI, personalized support, and tech-savvy service. Our donors and nonprofits were really energized by our campaign this year. I loved the added administrative controls we had on the platform, intuitive set up, and easy integration into our accounting software (FIMS). Evergreen is the platform we'll stick with and grow with."

"As the new Executive Director of the foundation planning our first match day, to say I was slightly apprehensive is an understatement. The staff of Evergreen Giving Solutions not only alleviated all my fears but were there every step of the way. The Giving Day platform was straightforward to implement and learn. The participating non-profits enjoyed the ability to upload their pertinent information, giving reports are readily available and easy to export, but the most exciting part was watching the donations figures continue to climb in real-time. I can't thank Evergreen Giving Solutions, and especially Brian Tesene, enough for making our first match day a tremendous success."

"Evergreen's quality work for our 9 month old community foundation enabled us to implement our first giving day. The website, professional and visually impressive, provided an easy to use online donation platform. I believe Evergreen's expertise and website enabled a town of 2500 people to donate over $132,000 t0 20 funds in 24 hours. We expect an even bigger giving day next year and with Evengreen, it will be possible!"

"This thank you note from myself and the entire board at the Marysville Community Foundation is long overdue. Working with your company the past 3 years has been fantastic. Our Pony Up Marysville match day has been a HUGE success. Your website is exceptional. It is very user friendly which is a must as there isn't time for a learning curve on match day. It is an easy site to access and navigate. In addition the reporting features are fantastic. Very easy to generate reports that provide the data people ask for. Information such as : how much has been donated to each fund ?, how many gifts have been made to each fund ?, overall total number of gifts?, number of online gifts vs number of walk in gifts?, amount of cash gifts vs credit cards ?, the time of day when we received the most gifts?. In addition, the graphics the reports generate (pie charts, etc.) are very helpful."

"Pony Up Marysville match day is an exciting by itself. However, the website takes the day to a whole new level. There is nothing like watching the donation dollars grow thru the website. Your website allows those from our own community as well as those with Marysville ties from across the country track our match day progress. In summary, two thumbs up to your Pony Up Marysville match day website."

"If you're a Community Foundation, and not using Evergreen in designing and maintaining your site, why not? They listen to your needs, and have easy to use user tools allowing you to maintain and update your website, as needed. But if customization is required, they can do it, ensuring that what you envision is achieved."

"When our Community Foundation was established back in 2019, Evergreen already had all the website services that we were looking for. I like to refer to their services as, 'plug & play'. We were instantly up and running, allowing our fundholders and donors to access our website. A big part of our Foundation is our annual Match Day events. Evergreen has created an excellent match day website program for donors, participating fundholders, and easy data / donation entry and reporting tools for volunteers to use for our events. From concept to completion, ongoing support, and continuing enhancements of our site, not just for our users, but those who also visit our website. Without Evergreen, our online presence wouldn't be where it is today without their service and expertise."

"After completing our second annual giving day, I am confident Evergreen is money well spent. Our rural, countywide community foundation raised over $133,000 thanks to the assistance of the user-friendly website. Evergreen is always available to answer any questions. When I suggested adding something to the search engine field, the upgrade was quickly made. All customers can appreciate that Evergreen is willing to listen and make improvements in a timely matter. Thank you Evergreen for all you do! I can't imagine working with anyone else. You do an amazing job and I am so thankful for the supportive role you serve."

"As the finance person at our organization, the Evergreen giving day plaform has made the processing of the gifts easy and efficient. The download from the website is easily uploaded into our fund accounting software."
