Qgiv

Qgiv, now positioned as Bloomerang Fundraising, is a strong nonprofit choice when event registration, auctions, peer-to-peer campaigns, donation forms, and donor-system integrations need to work together. It is less attractive for general event ticketing or teams that do not need fundraising-specific workflows.

Best For

+ Nonprofits running galas, auctions, peer-to-peer events, golf tournaments, and recurring giving campaigns

✓ Export or sync fundraising and registration data into Bloomerang, Raiser's Edge NXT, Salesforce, and reporting tools

✓ Add event-specific fields, receipts, promo codes, sponsor listings, and campaign thermometers

Honest Limitations

Nonprofit-Specific

Qgiv is built around donor, campaign, and fundraising workflows. It is usually too specialized for corporate conferences or consumer ticketing.

Modular Pricing Adds Up

The starter plan is useful, but text fundraising, peer-to-peer, auctions, integrations, invoicing, support, and hardware can add meaningful monthly or one-time costs.

Processing Fees Matter

Published pricing includes platform subscriptions, but transaction processing and eCheck fees affect net revenue.

CRM Mapping Needs Ownership

Raiser's Edge NXT, Salesforce, and Bloomerang integrations are valuable, but field mapping, export timing, refunds, chargebacks, and acknowledgements require careful setup.

Auction Support Timing Is Operationally Important

Expedited implementation and remote or onsite auction support have separate fees and advance-notice requirements.

Pricing Breakdown

Plan	Price	Details
Starter	$0/month	Donation forms, event registration and management, and customer service for smaller organizations
Giving Essentials	$25/month or $60/quarter	Donation forms, event registration, integrations, and reporting
Text Fundraising	$159/month or $387/quarter	Adds text fundraising with included outbound message allowance
Peer-to-Peer	$259/month or $687/quarter	Supports event registrations and supporter fundraising campaigns
Auctions	$259/month or $687/quarter	Auction registration, bidding, item pages, check-in, checkout, and event tools

Hidden Costs to Watch

! Published processing fees include 3.95% plus $0.30 for standard card transactions, 4.95% plus $0.30 for peer-to-peer, and 1.95% for eCheck
! Raiser's Edge NXT integration is listed at $99/month unless waived under qualifying year-round giving usage
! Invoicing adds 10% to monthly package cost
! Card readers, custom domains, attendee imports, expedited auction implementation, remote support, and onsite support may add fees

Qgiv is best understood as nonprofit fundraising infrastructure, not generic event software. It gives development teams a way to connect event registration, auction bidding, donor forms, peer-to-peer campaigns, text giving, and CRM exports without stitching together a consumer ticketing tool and a donation processor.

The tradeoff is that the most useful workflows are modular. A small nonprofit can start lean, but gala, auction, peer-to-peer, CRM integration, and event support needs can quickly change the budget. Treat the pricing page as a configuration exercise, not a single sticker price.
