## Reviews

### "Five-Star Software and Even Better People Behind It" — 5.0/5

> **Keri** | *May 19, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: amazing customer service, very easy to use, constantly improving software. Whether you're managing a small gathering or a large-scale fundraiser, the tools are built to support your success without adding complexity.
> 
> **Cons**: One of the improvements this software made was adding the ability to print bid sheets through the system\! I wish the bid sheets were more customizable, but hopefully that can be upgraded in the future.
> 
> I’ve been working with \[sensitive content hidden\]  and using his nonprofit event software for over seven years now, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From day one, the experience has been wonderful—from setup to daily use, everything about the platform is incredibly user-friendly. Whether you're managing a small gathering or a large-scale fundraiser, the tools are built to support your success without adding complexity. I personally use this software for over 6 events each year, ranging from small ticket sales to a large-scale gala. Copying event info from one year to the next is a breeze, making setup easy.&#10;&#10;One of the biggest standouts is the amazing customer service. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with \[sensitive content hidden\] , and I can confidently say he’s one of the most dedicated and genuine professionals in the industry. He truly values his customers and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we feel supported and empowered. It’s rare to find someone who not only listens to feedback but actively works to implement meaningful improvements—\[sensitive content hidden\]  does just that.&#10;&#10;Speaking of improvements, the software is constantly evolving. The team is always working behind the scenes to roll out updates that reflect the real-world needs of users. Every time I log in, I’m impressed by the new features and enhancements that make our work easier and more impactful.&#10;&#10;If you're looking for an event platform that combines top-tier functionality with unparalleled support, look no further. I’m proud to be a long-time customer and look forward to many more years of partnership.&#10;&#10;Highly recommend\!

### "Hello Fund Delivers" — 5.0/5

> **Elisabeth** | *May 1, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The platform is really customizable.  We have used them for a number of different events and always been able to tailor it to our fundraising needs. The few times the software didn't already do what we wanted, they found a way to be innovative and meet the need.  Also the staff is just so knowledgeable and easy to work with - exceptional customer service and responsiveness. Alleviates a lot of stress and work on our part in prepping for an event. This also translates to a good experience for our donors and participants, making them much more likely to stay engaged with the bidding, buying and supporting of the event.
> 
> **Cons**: I think the only thing I've had others say to me about Hello Fund vs another platform is that it could be a little more expensive.  I think this is a case of you get what you pay for.  If investing in good technology and expertise translates to revenue, it's a good investment.  This has been the case for us with each event and why we have remained with Hello Fund for years now.
> 
> I have used 5 other platforms over the course of over 10 years in fundraising.  I have used Hello Fund since 2018 exclusively.  It's been worth every penny and I know in part responsible for the success of our events.

### "Highly recommend HelloFund for your auction needs" — 5.0/5

> **Allison** | *April 28, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: HelloFund helped our elementary school PTO run two successful silent auctions, and a successful live auction and gala. We loved that it was a flat fee and the customer service provided is unmatched.
> 
> **Cons**: The application is very customizable which we liked, but of course not every single aspect of it could be customized so we had to pivot a few times to make it work for us.
> 
> We had an excellent experience with HelloFund. The platform enabled our PTO to create a professional, user-friendly website where parents could learn about our gala, purchase tickets, and bid on auction items. The application streamlined the check-in process, simplified logging live auction bids and raffle purchases, and made guest checkout effortless at the end of the fundraiser. From setup to post-event, HelloFund’s customer support was outstanding, promptly addressing all our questions and ensuring a seamless event. As we hadn’t hosted a gala in over six years, \[sensitive content hidden\] guidance was invaluable in helping us plan and execute a successful evening.

### "Highly recommend Hello Fund\!" — 4.0/5

> **Stephanie** | *May 5, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Hello fund is easy to use with little experience.  I was able to create our website without much guidance but when I did need help \[sensitive content hidden\] was ALWAYS there\! I always knew I could count on him when in a pinch.
> 
> **Cons**: Would like more “help” or “how to videos” so that we are not always calling w questions that could probably easily be answered w a short search in the “help section”. Also would like to be able to create custom reports.
> 
> Customer service is TOP NOTCH.  I have actually never had this good of service from ANYONE before.  Not even a 5 star hotel. \[sensitive content hidden\] is absolutely amazing.

### "HelloFund seamless intergration with Bloomerang" — 5.0/5

> **Nan** | *October 7, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The event management was very user-friendly. Also, it was extremely helpful that we could directly integrate our CRM, Bloomerang, with HelloFund. I was able to upload all of the sales (tickets, sponsorships, auction items, and paddle sales) seamlessly into Bloomerang. It saved me hours of manually importing data.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't think of any cons. It was a great experience, and there weren't any issues that we ran into. If there were, \[sensitive content hidden\] and his team figured out a way fix them.
> 
> \[sensitive content hidden\] was invaluable and ensured that our event was a success. From setting up the welcome page, to crafting communications, to coming in person to support on event night, I felt confident in knowing that attendees would have great customer service. This allowed me to focus on other event management needs.
