Your Auction is Over, But the Data Remains
Written by David Mattingly, Director of Customer Success and Product Strategy
Hosting a large-scale fundraising event is a monumental task. From managing logistics to handling last minute changes, and ensuring everyone involved — from the board to the volunteers — is on the same page, it’s no wonder that many organization leaders feel the need to schedule time off just to recover afterward. The work doesn’t stop when the event does, and it can feel overwhelming to see the mountain of tasks waiting for you once the big day is over.
At GiveGrove, we understand how much effort goes into pulling off a successful fundraiser, and we’re here to support you both on your big day and in the weeks that follow.
After your event wraps up, GiveGrove sends you a high-level “after event” email that breaks down your event’s performance. This report includes key insights like the number of donors who covered fees, the total amount your organization spent on GiveGrove, and the number of transactions processed. We hope these quick snapshots highlight all the hard work you put into making your event a success.
But that’s not all. Your data is always yours — we never delete it, and you’ll always have access to your past event data without needing a subscription or paying us annually. Want to know how your event in 2019 performed? You can download it today, anytime.
Turning Data into Decisions
We believe that your event data can help you make more informed decisions, whether you’re planning for next year or simply reflecting on how things went. If you have ideas for new reports or data breakdowns that you’d like to see in GiveGrove, let us know! Chances are, other organizations might be looking for the same insights, and your feedback helps us improve the platform for everyone.
One of the most common requests we’ve received is for the ability to export auction data. We’ve listened, and we’re excited to offer a new prototype that allows you to export past silent auction information, including starting bids, winning bids, item descriptions, and more. If your organization hosts recurring events, having access to this data can be a game-changer in planning and comparing year-over-year performance.
These are just a few of the ways GiveGrove is committed to standing out in the modern events and auctions for fundraising space. We want to empower nonprofits with the tools and data they need to make their events better year after year.
