Why Nonprofits Choose OneCause
over GiveSmart
Complete Fundraising Platform
OneCause
Innovative and easy-to-use software that supports any event type. From auctions to online giving, social fundraising, and text donations, we grow your impact under one platform.
GiveSmart
While GiveSmart offers the basic elements to support a fundraising event, it’s missing key innovations that would otherwise save time and drive revenue for its customers.
Award-winning Customer Support
OneCause
Committed and helpful customer support agents, consulting services, and industry-leading onsite event assistance help you raise more and deliver peace of mind when it counts most.
GiveSmart
With a mix of employees and outsourced support, increased costs, and event day remote and onsite staff—GiveSmart’s approach to helping fundraisers is less than ideal.
Product Innovation
OneCause
OneCause is committed to constant innovation to help fundraisers raise more for their mission. Since 2008, our user-friendly software has helped more than 11K nonprofits raise $5.8B across 60K campaigns.
GiveSmart
GiveSmart operates on an older platform (formerly known as Gesture) that has received minimal updates since it was acquired by Community Brands. As a result of this and subsequent consolidations, product innovation has slowed.
Seamless Supporter Experience
OneCause
The OneCause Fundraising Platform takes the effort and guesswork out of donating to deliver a giving experience that is quick, easy, and modern—just like they expect.
GiveSmart
As a result of slower product development, the overall experience is built on basic functionality and has not kept pace with the expectations of today’s donors.
