The Greatest Compliment We’ve Ever Received
Written by Alex Sejdinaj, Founder & CEO
As the year winds down, I’ve been reflecting on how far we’ve come—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and, most importantly, whether we’re staying true to our mission: making fundraising and auction software as easy and friendly as possible for nonprofits.
One question I always come back to is: Are we truly making a difference for the organizations that rely on us?
This year, one moment stands out as a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.
A while back, I was on a Zoom call with one of our regular customers. She’s a seasoned fundraiser with a well-established nonprofit, so her perspective carried a lot of weight for me. As we wrapped up our conversation, she said something that has stuck with me ever since:
“Out of all the platforms I’ve looked at for fundraising events, GiveGrove is the only one that doesn’t feel predatory.”
That meant the world to me.
When we started GiveGrove, we knew how challenging it was for nonprofit professionals to find fundraising solutions that truly supported their work. These teams pour their heart and soul into serving their communities and causes, often juggling limited resources and enormous responsibilities. The last thing they need is to feel like the tools they rely on are working against them.
Hearing that GiveGrove stands out as a trusted, supportive partner is exactly why we do what we do.
From day one, our goal has been to offer software that’s easy to use and backed by a team that genuinely cares. Whether it’s how we design our features, structure our trainings, or respond to feedback, everything we do is focused on helping nonprofits succeed without unnecessary stress or complexity.
Do we hit the mark with perfection on the first try every time? Admittedly, no. But the effort is well worth it, and when we miss the mark, we do our best to adjust. We’re committed to learning, adapting, and improving. We can promise you beyond a doubt in any of our team members’ minds that we will do our best to make every customer experience positive.
As we prepare for 2025, we’re excited to build on this momentum, introduce new features to better serve you, and continue growing together. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey. We’re honored to support your incredible work—and we can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve together in the year ahead!
