Nonprofits that are actively seeking and managing funding through grants. Grant, programs, finance, and operations professionals and nonprofit consultants who provide grant-related services.
Small and medium-sized nonprofits love Givebutter, including charities, service organizations, faith-based, schools, universities, sports teams, companies and hopefully your group too!
GrantHub is very user friendly. I love how each opportunity is organized, so that you can store all of the information, including PDF's and word docs, related to each grant in one place.
It never downloaded the information from research sites and this was frustrating. If I have to type everything in again, from say FDO online, what is the point.
I would highly recommend for any nonprofit that writes, manages and reports on more than 10 grants annually - it is a lifesaver for a small grants department.
It was very difficult to use Excel because it didn't flow nicely with ongoing/rolling deadlines.
I like how it keeps all your grants in one place.I like how it reminds you when grants are due, how much your getting from that grants.
No quick way to search where donors are located (have to export files to a spreadsheet then sort).
They are an excellent company to deal with, very responsive to customer needs, and very well priced for the benefits.
There's no limit to how many documents you can maintain under each funder's page.
The back-office dashboard is impressive, featuring customizable reports and the ability to track all your donors effectively.
There were some issued when I was trying to transfer the money back to the cause. It was a bit confusing to figure out how to access the raised money.
Everyone is so caring, cheerful, helpful, and capable. The response time is excellent and they listen to all my suggestions and put them on a list for developers to work on.
Unfortunately donations are tax deductible but most users will pay the difference in tax so that the organization can still raise the same.
Givebutter was a great auction platform that was very easy to use, they were very helpful when setting up and finalizing everything was all done by Givebutter.
Certain product features are limited (i.e. inability to customize certain fields and forms).
IT ALSO FREE - the best price for Nonprofits. We are currently using Givebutter for our annual gala, and love the functionality, easy integrations and helpful customer service.
Had trouble at first with adding the video but it ended up working out.
Cherylyn M.: Hi, my name is Cherylyn. I'm a development specialist. I give GrantHub a five out of five stars. And for more review like this, click on the link below. Before GrantHub we were using a Excel spreadsheet and it did not work out, because it was not on the cloud and it was clunky and tons of information was missing. We chose GrantHub because of the fact that it was in the cloud, that all of our history could be uploaded with help from the team at GrantHub. And then the history is available there and can be updated. And there was just so many features of that tool that helps internally with a development team, as well as when we use a grant writer consultant. So all the information is available to anyone, anytime. Helps with scheduling, helps with history, super helpful tool. So once we chose GrantHub, the support team was super helpful. We were able to have them send us a spreadsheet, and we were able to actually populate it with the information we had. And then they were actually able to take that information and upload it into the tool for us. And then we did some final tweaking and then we were off and running really quickly with the new tool and super helpful. I highly recommend considering GrantHub because it's a tool that keeps all your information in one place. No more manual tracking, it's all done automatically. Multiple users can access the same information. It gives you history. It gives you the scheduling ability. It also gives you reminders about who's doing what because you can divide and conquer the different tasks as you set up a template what the steps are for your grant process. And like I said, it's super helpful when you have multiple people working on grants. And for our grant writer who may not even be on your internal team, they still can have access to it. You can give them direct access. So super, super helpful. Super highly recommend the tool.
Melanie: Hi, I'm Melanie. I am one of the founders of Hearts for Honduras, and I would give Givebutter a four star rating. We used PayPal previously before using Givebutter, and what we found is it just really the cost of the fees was one of the big factors for us to look to change because we were going to get charged for every transaction. And so that was a big factor for us in finding something that passed on the fees, but a reasonable fee at that. Givebutter really is a platform that really supports nonprofits and does not charge us anything. So everything they do, we get to have a complete, basically a landing page where our participants can set up fundraising pages, we can fundraise for our upcoming trips, and also for our nonprofit in general. So just their overall support of nonprofits was a huge factor in being able to establish that, especially when you don't have very little budget to work with. So there is a little bit of a learning curve with Givebutter and just terms of playing around, how to set up your platform and set up your landing page. But once you get into the rhythm of it, it's pretty easy and it's easy to show others as well how to use. So that was a big... That's been kind of nice being able to teach our participants how to set up their own fundraising pages, but just a little bit of a learning curve when you're first starting off. So I would say that there's a lot of options out there. We did a lot of extensive research, compared the different platforms. Givebutter is right around the same in terms of the fees that they do charge for the processing of payments and fundraising dollars. They're relatively in that same ballpark of most. They're a little bit less. So that was a big factor. But really the big factor was the fact that there's no cost passed on to us to use the platform. So they raised their money completely through donations that donors make. So that was a huge factor for us in making that decision.
