Quality of Support

I had explored employee giving software solutions in the past, but the price points and implementation timelines and costs just made them unjustifiable. How can I justify spending $40k per year on Benevity when we’re only giving away $100k? It seemed wildly inefficient.

Why are people switching from YourCause to Groundswell?
