I'm generally happy with my experience raising funds for a friend's medical expenses through GiveForward, but I found payment options confusing as they're through a 3rd party that isn't as responsive as the GiveForward people are. Plus, I sometimes found the GiveForward website itself to have a confusing array of options that weren't helpful. Once we'd reached our goal, GiveForward continued sending out notices to my Facebook feed asking for donations and I got no response from the team about how to shut down the fundraiser before the time span. But it did work to get the money into deserving hands and I would probably do it again despite the difficulties.

When my best friend was killed in a car accident, I started a GiveForward page to help collect money for her family. The support team was fabulous and my friend's mom received the check before the expected date. Thanks for all the help in such a time of great need!

GiveForward made it so easy to collect donations for my childhood best friend's family when her dad passed away suddenly of a heart attack. We were able to raise over $1000 to help his wife Cindy with his funeral costs and she was beyond grateful for the overwhelming response from the fundraiser!

When my brother was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma, he faced an uphill battle. He was the primary wage-earner in his family, and not being able to work put incredible stress on their finances. He didn't need to worry about money while trying to get better. The GiveForward fundraiser was a great way to help alleviate some of his financial burdens while giving friends and family an easy way to help out. So many people wanted to help him during such a difficult time in his life, and our fundraising page gave them the ability to help financially as well as provide a space for words of encouragement. Those uplifting messages meant as much (or more) to him than the donations. Sadly, many families will face difficult and scary health problems. I would highly recommend GiveForward to anyone who is confronted with health-related financial problems. I really appreciated the application's ease of use, especially because I wanted to focus on my brother and not spend hours trying to make a new software program work properly. Thanks GiveForward! I'm so glad your company was around during such a difficult time.

I shopped around several fund raising sites before starting the fundraiser for a poet who had to flee her home and was left with almost nothing. I almost went with another site because of a lower percentage fee, but decided against it due to (a) an earlier successful fundraiser I'd heard about on GiveForward, (b) GiveForward's coaches, who are super helpful and very accessible (I called and talked to one of them before starting the fundraiser, and was impressed, and then called again several times with questions), (c) the WePay system meant that raised money was deposited daily into the bank account I set up for the fundraiser, (d) the graphics are just so beautiful on GiveForward - the fund raiser just *looked* nicer than the other sites. I'm very glad I went with GiveForward. I raised over $6000 for the poet, and the moral support she felt from people half way across the world was worth perhaps even more. I am delighted with, and grateful to, GiveForward for making it all possible.

Give Forward was fantastic to work with! Everything was easy to set up and once it was it was super easy to share the link so everyone could see it. If I need to I will definitely use it again!

Giveforward was so easy to use and the staff was always available to help with ideas on promoting our cause. We got the funds we needed to save the life of a much loved member of my business, C.J. our house dog. Her cancer is in remission and she is back to work greeting clients and we are so grateful.

The website was easy and the help center was quick at getting back with me with any problems I did have. The money raised helped out the Mishkin family through there difficult time. It helped get money to the family for medical expensive from their family and friends from over seas. Awesome experience to be able to do that for them!
