Sean Littman Founder/CEO GiveSuite.com: "...Everyone uses the term all in one. But GiveSuite literally is an all in one for small and medium sized organizations. You have your Crm, you have your donor management system, you have marketing tools, you have social media, scheduling tools, you have fundraising, crowdfunding everything all in one. So that way you can. You can just maximize your time and go out there and change the world, and the price is extremely nominal, because, as I said, our vertical was small medium organizations. ...All these other systems that were charging arm and a leg. I was just like this is stupid, like, you guys don't have the budgets for this stuff, and you don't have the technology for this stuff. Let's make something that's easy for you to use, and affordable and effective and welcome to GiveSuite." We welcome support of the Nonprofit SnapCast via Patreon.
