Armik,
For the past three years we have used Scalefunder (which is part of the RNL
group of products,) for our crowdfunding projects. Overall I was very happy
with the platform. There were some limitations tied to our university using
Blackbaud as the payment processor, but that was more due to Blackbaud and
not the platform. The other limitation was that RNL splits their
crowdfunding and giving day platforms into 2 separate platforms, each of
which comes with their own costs.
Just this week, we switched to the GiveCampus platform and launched our
first project yesterday. We are obviously still very new to the platform,
but so far I've been impressed with the customer service and what I've seen
in setting up our first campaign. With GiveCampus a university can run both
crowdfunding and day of giving projects from the same platform.
If you have specific questions I can help with, let me know.
