General Director, Unicef Sweden

“Salesforce’s dedication to non-profits and Giveclarity’s experienced team made them the right partners for us in this digital transformation. UNICEF Sweden have now taken the next step to enhance our supporters’ experience."

Pernilla Baralt

Fundraising Director, Ben -Motor and Allied Trades Benevolent Fund

"...confident we chose the right partner in Giveclarity and made the right investment in Salesforce over other platforms. Highly recommended, the lot of them!"

Matt Wigginton,

Former Salesforce Administrator, Christians Against Poverty

“Having spoken to and worked with other non-profit partners, Giveclarity stand out above the rest. They've been around since before the Non-profit part of Salesforce even existed officially and understand it from the ground up.

Throughout the process they offer consistency (thanks in part to low staff turnover) and an eagerness to do things well and not take shortcuts which in the long run obviously leaves you with a better product... we love these guys"
