Kaleidoscope Group PBC

“You have to do the work to show what the value is in bringing an outside partner like this to facilitate an inside program. When we started the review process with Kaleidoscope, it was amazing because there is no way that we could have gotten through all of the applications that we had received in the time frame we had promised our members that we would announce the winners for,”

“The first year when we used Kaleidoscope, as I mentioned, it was all for the review process, and that was so fabulous that it was almost a no-brainer for us to go ahead and take the plunge and do the entire process with Kaleidoscope from top to bottom. So it was an easy transition for us. It freed up a lot of staff time, and it made the most sense for us to provide the best possible experience for our members,”

“We’re in our second year, and it feels like we’ve worked with Kaleidoscope for five. It’s been a great, comfortable fit,” she added.”

“I cannot endorse this company with any stronger recommendations.”

“I think that in and of itself is a reason to use Kaleidoscope,” said Galowitz.”

“We never could say how much money was still in that other vendor’s hands and how much money was really out at the schools for the benefit of each student. It was amazing to us that the prior vendor could not reconcile what money they were holding, and it’s very frightening,” she added.”

“In the past, we were not able to get real-time information about where the money we gave for the scholarships was at any given time,” said Galowitz.”

“So what I love about Kaleidoscope is you get those questions out right at the beginning of the application. We never would have been able to do that before,” she added.”

“I never wanted someone to go through all the work of filling out an application only for us after it’s done to say, well, you have too much Estimated Family Contribution, you don’t qualify,” said Galowitz.”

“We were given a Kaleidoscope employee to work with right from the starting blocks,” said Galowiz. “That contact person has always been available—always. To me, the measure of a good partner isn’t how everything is going during smooth, easygoing times. The measure is what happens when there’s a problem. And their team has always been responsive when we needed them. They’ve been phenomenal. It’s been just a great experience,” she added.”

“We contacted Kaleidoscope in October of a scholarship year, and we typically go live in November, said Galowitz. We were able to get up and running with Kaleidoscope by January—a miracle. They jumped right on the issue, understood the issue, and were well-versed in remedying the issue,” she added.”

““We couldn’t imagine what the process would have looked like without Kaleidoscope. Their team eliminated any possible stress that could come with over 3,000 applicants, allowing us to focus on our company’s goals and finding the best possible winners,””

“Kaleidoscope has improved our application process immensely. The user experience is better overall, more streamlined, and easier to navigate, for both the applicants and our volunteer reviewers. The support from Kaleidoscope is helpful and responsive.”

““Moving to the Kaleidoscope platform allowed our team to take our program to the next level. Being able to see real information about where our scholars are at in the process has made it easier, for our team and our partners,””

““We’ve never felt anything but trust, safety, competence, and communication with the Kaleidoscope team.””

““What brought us to Kaleidoscope was the tool. What kept us here was the people,””

““It’s so easy, manageable, and user-friendly,””

““One unexpected benefit was realizing we could bring applicants into the broader Bubble community experience. People who initially discovered the brand through the scholarship became part of the community long after the application process ended.””

““Because we reserved a top scholarship tier for active ambassadors, it was important that the review process felt completely fair and unbiased. Having a third-party evaluation process gave the program a level of integrity that was really important to us.””

““I initially thought we would need to build every question and process from scratch. What surprised me most was how many important considerations the platform surfaced that we simply would not have thought through on our own.””

““The Kaleidoscope team really acted as experts and partners throughout the process. We brought the vision, the brand, and the purpose behind the program, and they guided us through best practices and the operational side of making it happen.””

“At Kaleidoscope, I am able to witness the direct impact of my contributions. Additionally, I am surrounded by driven individuals who inspire me to continually push my own limits.”

“I’m excited to show up for work every day and be surrounded by an amazing and supportive team.”
