The ability to customize everything from colors, logos, links, QR codes, etc has been second to none! Pros I was very impressed with the ease of setting up an account and getting the system up and running without needing a third party or having to go through a sales rep. I have also loved the integration with many applications I use. I did not find myself having to duplicate services. Cons The biggest issue I had was importing all of our contact from our current CRM. I found a lot of the info did not transfer over to Givebutter. Switched from [Daxko Operations](https://www.capterra.com/p/268006/Daxko-Operations/) Daxko does not allow ANY customization nor do they offer any peer-to-peer campaigning. Review Source Response from Givebutter July 12, 2025 Wow, thank you so much for this amazing feedback, Aaron! We’re so happy to hear how things have been going for you on Givebutter. We really appreciate you flagging the issue with importing your contacts, that’s super helpful feedback. If you’re open to it, we’d love to take a closer look and help figure out why the info didn’t transfer over. Just send us a message via chat or email us at support@givebutter.com. It truly means a lot that you chose Givebutter, we’re so grateful to be part of your journey. Thanks again, we’re lucky to have you in the Givebutter fam! VM Veronica M. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend!" October 30, 2025 5.0 I could not recommend Givebutter anymore than I do. The platform is easy to use and the customer service is top notch. We always receive quick help when needed and love that we can access our fundraisers so easily. Makes our work as a non-profit so much easier! Pros Love how easy the platform is to navigate for a variety of different fundraisers- from auctions to annual campaigns, to events. This platform has aided us in running many successful fundraisers while being able to keep track of donors, funds coming in and tickets sold. Cons So far, each improvement made has made the platform more and more useable. Only thing that maybe helpful is to have a check cut and mailed but so far we have been happy. Switched from [Cheddar Up](https://www.capterra.com/p/276323/Cheddar-Up/) Givebutter was much easier for us to navigate, had more features we could utilize and was able to customize our fundraisers easier. Review Source Response from Givebutter November 9, 2025 Aw, such beautiful feedback, Veronica! We’re thrilled to hear that it has made running your fundraisers easier and that you love how simple it is to navigate for auctions, events, and annual campaigns. It really warms our hearts to know that our platform and support team have helped your team.

Jury is still out as a CRM system" February 1, 2025 3.0 If Givebutter+ could come closer to LGL's monthly pricing offers we'd switch in a heartbeat. Pros We currently use LGL but the archaic donation forms and lack of integrations with prettier/more intuitive donation form companies made us consider a different CRM. Givebutter is truly the only product on the market offering the recurring donation upsell feature for free, along with so many different payment options at point of sale/donation (credit cards, debit cards, venmo, paypal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, DAFpay), etc. It's worth noting that it also natively integrates with Double the Donation, Donor Search, and Point--and more! Cons We think GiveButter+ is cost(given that it's mainly nonprofits with small budgets that leverage this company) so -1 star for that. A work around is using Monday.com's donor dashboard template as a replacement CRM.... however, despite the native integration, GB transactions are not automatically importing to Monday.com so another -1 star for that. Alternatives considered [Action Network](https://www.capterra.com/p/235419/Action-Network/)[Bonterra EveryAction](https://www.capterra.com/p/142421/Bonterra-Development-Digital/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Host of features at free level and native integrations were compelling sell Switched from [CiviCRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/79192/CiviCRM/)[Little Green Light](https://www.capterra.com/p/123954/Little-Green-Light/) CiviCRM open source system was cumbersome to navigate. LGL donation forms weren't attractive Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback, Delani! We truly appreciate your insights about Givebutter Plus. I completely understand how you’re feeling, and I want to thank you for your ongoing support. I know adapting to changes can be tough, but Givebutter Plus helps us continue to offer and improve our features. Regarding the Monday.com integration, we really appreciate you bringing that to our attention. If you're still facing challenges with transactions not automatically importing, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@givebutter.com. We’d be happy to take a closer look at the situation and see how we can help. Thanks again for choosing Givebutter, and we’re excited to continue supporting your nonprofit’s success! Esi C. Project manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product" May 24, 2026 5.0 It is a great product for those in the non-profit arena. Giving you the ability to take in donation and offerings from all over the world as well a send text messages. Pros I love the ability to be able to text everyone or specific groups of people. Also the fact that it could be scheduled was a plus. Cons The templates. I wasn't able to use them the way I wanted to. Often times the words had to be spaced out all over again. Review Source Response from Givebutter June 3, 2026 Thank you for sharing your experience, Esi! Making it easy to connect with supporters and donors is something we care deeply about. We also appreciate your feedback about the templates. We understand how frustrating it can be when formatting doesn't behave as expected, and we'll be sure to share this with our team as we continue improving the experience. Thank you for being part of the Givebutter community and for supporting your organization through our platform. We wish you continued success with your fundraising efforts! EC Elisabeth C. Executive Director Child Day Care Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Givebutter is AMAZING!!!!" October 29, 2025 5.0 Givebutter is AMAZING!!!! I've run multiple campaigns and events on it, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Pros It's free! Givebutter is amazing because it's free, it makes us money, it's easy to use and the help tutorials are great! Cons The process of recapturing my organization, as I was a knew \[sensitive content hidden\] not on the account. But it honestly wasn't hard. I just didn't like it.

Switched from [Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/) Givebutter is easier and free, and it has better tutorials Review Source Response from Givebutter October 31, 2025 Aww, thanks so much for the love, Elisabeth! We’re so happy to hear that you’ve had such a great experience running your campaigns on Givebutter! We totally get that the re-verification process can be a little tedious, but we’re glad it all worked out smoothly in the end. Thanks again for sharing your kind words and for being part of the Givebutter family! DW Dali W. Creative Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love Give Butter" October 19, 2025 4.0 Love GiveButter, especially the peer fundraising and social media comments. So beneficial for a grassroots org like ours. Pros Setting up our events was a very seamless process, with a great interface. And excellent customer service. We were getting onboarding emails before I could even start setting up the event page. So helpful! Cons I do wish we could have setup multi-day events, instead of having to setup each day as 3 different campaigns. Also, given our fundraising event is ticket based? I think having to add names of everyone in the party was too much for some (potential) attendees. Switched from [Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/) Give butter seems more geared towards non profits. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 29, 2025 Dali, thank you so much for this lovely feedback! We’re so glad to hear the setup process was smooth and that our team was able to support you right from the start. It’s awesome to know the peer fundraising and social sharing features are helpful for your grassroots work. We really appreciate your thoughts about multi-day events. That’s actually a feature request our team is working on, and we’re really hoping to have it released soon! Your feedback helps us prioritize what matters most to event organizers like you. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for all the amazing work you’re doing in your community! GH Gwenna H. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Value" October 26, 2025 5.0 I’ve tried other donation platforms and they were very expensive and not as responsive as Givebutter. Givebutter responds very quickly and had a great value. Pros The value for your money is the best in the industry. I’ve recommended Givebutter to other people that are getting started in the non profit industry. Cons Not being eligible for certain benefits as a fiscally sponsored organization. I wish some of these decisions would be reconsidered. Switched from [Bonterra Network for Good](https://www.capterra.com/p/111128/Bonterra-Guided-Fundraising/) They were very expensive. It was my first platform and I thought this was normal. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 29, 2025 Thank you so much for the love, Gwenna! It means a lot that you’ve even recommended us to others just starting out in the nonprofit world. We really appreciate your feedback about eligibility for certain benefits as a fiscally sponsored organization. We’ll keep this in mind as we continue to improve and advocate for ways to support all nonprofits. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for all the amazing work you’re doing in your community! KMF Kevin M F. Marketing Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent East product with great results. " October 22, 2025 5.0 Excellent so far that we are returning customers. We have been in business for a year and continue to use Givebutter for our annual campaigns. Pros Ease of use. The simplicity of building a campaign and the manufactured QR Code to share is great. The ability to embed on our website makes it universal. Cons There is not a lot that I don’t like about this product. Front page graphics need an upgrade. Live Display needs to have more options for graphics and logo integration. Also the ability to display top donors with tickets as well as donations. Alternatives considered [Double the Donation](https://www.capterra.com/p/250318/360MatchPro/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Cleaner front page. Easier to use. Took Venmo. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 29, 2025 Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, Kevin! It’s wonderful to know you keep coming back! We genuinely put your feedback to heart. Our team is working hard to improve things like front page graphics, Live Display options, and donor display features. We really appreciate your thoughtful suggestions. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and for trusting us to support your amazing work! Katherine H. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User friendly; great pricing structure." January 31, 2025 4.0 Very good and I've recommended it to other nonprofits. Pros The pricing structure. We are a very small nonprofit and every dollar counts. I also appreciate how Givebutter gives feedback update to email subscribers. That gets us all bought in to the program and how it evolves and can be made better. Cons Honestly, the name! Whyyyy. But the product speaks for itself. :) Alternatives considered [Zeffy](https://www.capterra.com/p/220131/Zeffy/) Reason for choosing Givebutter I liked the way Givebutter looked and functioned. I needed both a CRM and a transaction manager. Gb provides the basics for fundraising while being affordable and Switched from [DonorView](https://www.capterra.com/p/162375/DonorView/) DonorView is unnecessarily convoluted and definitely unnecessarily expensive. We are a very small nonprofit and I feel preyed upon after the amount of money spent and the long contract terms. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 We appreciate the fun feedback on the name, Katherine—it might not be the catchiest, but we’re so glad the product speaks for itself! Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re beyond excited that Givebutter’s pricing and features are a perfect fit for your nonprofit. Every dollar truly matters, and it makes us so happy that we’re able to support your mission. Plus, recommending us to others? You're a true Givebutter champion! We’re super grateful to have you as part of the Givebutter family and can’t wait to continue supporting you! Carrie T. Director of Fundraising and Engagement Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Like a pro!" January 30, 2025 4.0 Great customer support - very responsive and provide lots of tips & tricks. Love the trainings, love the user friendliness on the back-end and front (minus the set up!). Would love some more paid subscription 'levels' so that we could use the aspects we really need and not have to worry about the cost of Plus. Pros Easy to use fundraising platform - easily integrates widgets into our website for professional and clean looking user experiences. Simple-to-use email platform! Cons setting up the connection between Little Green Light & Givebutter via Zapier was not simple for someone who is not experienced in this to accomplish. I had help, but it required for me to find a volunteer who could navigate it for me to make it fully functional. There are still some communication glitches, and LGL doesn't communicate changes in constituents back to GB, which is frustrating. Alternatives considered [Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) Reason for choosing Givebutter GB has high ratings, was free, and looked professional. Plus the customer service was quick to respond and the additional support offered for making the jump was key. Switched from [Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) Mailchimp was frustrating to use and COSTLY! Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you for your awesome feedback! We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying Givebutter’s ease of use and the professional look it brings to your fundraising. We understand the challenge of setting up the Zapier connection—integrating third-party tools can sometimes be tricky. We also appreciate your feedback on the communication glitches with Little Green Light and will keep that in mind as we work to improve. Your kind words about our customer support and training mean a lot to us, and we’re always here to help! Thank you again for choosing Givebutter! ME Michelle E. Executive Director Mental Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Affordable for small non-profits looking for an affordable upgrade" January 30, 2025 5.0 Really positive. It's easy to use, affordable, looks super sleek, and has resulted in an increase in donations for our organization because people don't get navigated to a 3rd party site. Pros Givebutter is easy to use and integrate into your Wordpress site so the donors never have to leave your site. They also allow you to set goals and have teams to raise money for campaigns. Fees can also be picked up by donors with making it very clear that if they don't a certain percentage of their donation gets eaten up by transaction fees. This has resulted in roughly 90% of our donors picking up the fee charge. Givebutter also is integrated with Stripe, so the transaction reports are super simple to run. Cons The feature generating thank you letters from the system is lacking something, but all the rest of the features are easy to use, so this isn't a deal breaker for my organization. It just won't replace your current donor software for tracking and providing thank you letters and emails. Switched from [Square Point of Sale](https://www.capterra.com/p/275802/Square-Point-of-Sale/) Donors needed to navigate to their site and off of ours which resulted in donors not following through on their path to donate. Plus Square was not all that customizable and it looked amateurish. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Michelle! We’re so glad to hear that Givebutter has helped streamline your donation process. We also appreciate your feedback about the thank-you letter feature, and we’ll definitely consider it for future updates. Thank you again for choosing Givebutter—we’re so happy to be a part of your fundraising journey! KR Kelsey R. Development Support Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Thank you, Givebutter! " February 14, 2025 5.0 Pros Ease of us, customer support, unlimited contacts Cons Wish there were stronger reporting features for free users!

Thank you so much, too, Kelsey! We're so happy to hear you love Givebutter's ease of use and customer support—we're truly grateful for your kind words. We really appreciate your feedback, as it helps us grow! We're hoping to improve reporting in our core features in the future. Thanks for choosing Givebutter! CB Charles B. Donations specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Givebutter is great!" January 31, 2025 5.0 Pros Coming from Salesforce, Givebutter is powerful due to its simplicity. It can do everything we need it to do without making you feel like you need a data engineering degree and ten years of experience. Cons I'm not the biggest fan of how they've worded their solicitation messages for our donors. They ask donors to help take on the cost of running the platform, but they call it a "tip," which is distasteful and dishonest. If I were them, I would just be upfront and call it a fee. Tip suggests that a human helped serve them, and carries a bit of guilt with it. Switched from [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Not relevant, this survey is too long, I didn't know I was going to be asked to write a novel. It's a good product. Let me have my day back now. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your feedback! We're so glad to hear that Givebutter’s simplicity has been a game-changer for you. We totally hear you about the terminology around the "tip," and we really appreciate you sharing that insight—it’s feedback like this that helps us improve. Rest assured, we’re always working to make things as clear and user-friendly as possible. Thanks for being part of our family and for making the world a better place with your amazing work!

January 31, 2025 5.0 We have had a great time using the campaigns, auctions, and soon the Live Events. Pros They listen to their users and make changes. Cons We cannot wait for an integration with Quickbooks... without Zapier. Alternatives considered [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Reason for choosing Givebutter they help recoup the costs of processing, low startup costs Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

Board Member Libraries Used the software for: 6-12 months ### ""Give Butter" helped us buy the Tool Library building and allowed me to give thanks," January 31, 2025 5.0 Please see my extensive initial entry above. Pros I organize donations for a local not-for-profit both as an individual fundraiser and a member of their Development Committee. Give Butter receives and tracks these donations so that I can see them immediately, responds with a standard "Thank You," and allows me to follow-up with a personal one as well. Our critical mission, our achievements, our grant-getting power, our social media presence, and "Give Butter" as recording platform enabled us to buy our building just this past year. Cons So far, flawless. I've totally appreciated using it. Switched from [Give Lively](https://www.capterra.com/p/177952/Give-Lively-full-fundraising-platform/) Smoother, more visible, better tracking, easier to say "thanks."

We're absolutely happy to hear that Givebutter has been such an essential part of your journey.

April 17, 2025 4.0 Overall we have had a great experience using Givebutter for our nonprofit and sister organizations. Pros Givebutter provides a streamlined way of managing our constituents and fundraising efforts. Cons I think some areas could be a bit more user friendly but overall it is a great platform. Switched from [Give Lively](https://www.capterra.com/p/177952/Give-Lively-full-fundraising-platform/) It allows us to directly manage our constituents from other platforms like our newsletters.

The functionality of everything has made setting up and managing our events so much easier and organized. Pros Setting up fundraising events and being able to manage all of your contacts in one solution makes things so much easier! Cons Can’t think of much. One thing that would be nice for the Engage section of email blasts. It would be great to be able to automatically send another email to people who didn’t open the first email after a certain amount of time. Alternatives considered [Donorbox](https://www.capterra.com/p/156860/Donorbox/)[OneCause](https://www.capterra.com/p/145329/Fundraising-Software/) Reason for choosing Givebutter The easy if use, the features it offered for the cost Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! We’re so happy to hear that Givebutter has made managing your events easier! Your suggestion for Engage is fantastic—being able to automatically send follow-up emails to those who didn’t open the first one is a great idea, and we’ll definitely keep it in mind as we continue to improve. While we don’t currently have a trigger for a follow-up email, we do offer a Workflow feature to automate email sending on our Plus version, and we’re always open to your ideas! Remember, we’re always here if you need anything! Thanks again for choosing Givebutter! NF Nesta F. Executive director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### ""A Game-Changer for Nonprofit Fundraisi" June 13, 2025 5.0 Our overall experience was outstanding. Givebutter helped us streamline our fundraising process and visualize our impact in real-time. It contributed to one of our most successful fundraising years ever, and we’re now integrating it into all our income streams moving forward. It’s more than a tool—it’s a game-changer for nonprofit fundraising. Pros The event display options were our favorite feature. The platform made it easy to engage our audience and donors in a visually compelling way, which helped generate real excitement around our goals. It truly centralized our systems and made fundraising more effective and less time-consuming. Cons While the overall platform was fantastic, our biggest challenge was directing traffic clearly to team members so they could be credited for their efforts. It wasn’t always intuitive for donors to select a team member when giving. We experimented with rewording and even changed the donate button text to “Send Money Here,” but clearer options or customizable settings would have helped. A setting that requires donors to choose a team or individual before proceeding—and perhaps even leave a mandatory note—would make it easier to track individual efforts and ensure fair credit. Switched from [Zeffy](https://www.capterra.com/p/220131/Zeffy/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Ease of access,. Multiple features in one Review Source Response from Givebutter June 18, 2025 Wow! Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review, Nesta! We're so happy to hear that it helped with your fundraising efforts. We definitely hear you on the challenge of directing traffic to the right team members. That’s super helpful feedback, and we’re actively exploring ways to improve. A required selection or note field is a great suggestion—thank you for sharing that! We’re honored to be part of your journey and can’t wait to keep cheering you on. Thanks again for being such an awesome part of the Givebutter community! CS Cheryl S. CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Givebutter Success! " October 19, 2025 5.0 I have never had a problem or issue with transferring the funds to my bank account. I have to find the time to watch the tutorials to get the most out of what Given has to offer. Pros It is fairly easy to manage for someone like me who knows very little about navigating websites, CRMs, donation platforms, etc. Cons I cannot figure out how to make my donation page without a donation/monetary goal. I also want to learn how to send emails to former diners to donate again. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 29, 2025 Cheryl, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear that managing the platform has been fairly easy for you and that transferring funds has been smooth.

Executive Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and effective" May 13, 2025 5.0 Pros Very simple and effective to set up campaigns, embed in our website, collect funds, report on contributions, transfer to bank accounts. Makes donors and staff feel the process is safe, accurate, and productive. Cons It would be helpful to have a regular notification (e.g., weekly) of available balance to transfer. If automatic withdrawals are not turned on, a lot of contributed funds could accrue with Givebutter. Review Source Response from Givebutter May 15, 2025 This is a lovely review, Steven!

Missiion Advancement Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ACTS Missions" April 17, 2025 4.0 I do not have longevity with the software. Although, in the last month it has become easier to use and I am understanding it much better. Pros It is user friendly in some aspects, it is not very complicated, if you do have questions the Help button is very informative. The chat is excellent and questions get answered promptly. I also love that the chat is with a live agent. Cons I like to be able to search contacts with other key information, such as state or address. I am fairly new to the software, so there may be other avenues I am currently not aware of at this time. Review Source Response from Givebutter April 24, 2025 Thanks so much for sharing this!

February 2, 2025 5.0 Givebutter is an awesome platform for fundraising and events! It's super user-friendly and helps you raise funds in a fun and engaging way. Pros I really love how Givebutter makes fundraising feel super engaging and fun! The customizable pages and social sharing options are awesome for getting the word out. Plus, the community aspect is a big win. Cons Honestly, I think one of the things that can be a bit tricky with Givebutter is sometimes the fees can add up, depending on how you set things up. This as well as only being able to use including tags (instead of excluding some of the newsletter subscribers) when sending out emails. But overall, it’s still a great tool! Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your awesome review! We’re so happy to hear that you’re enjoying the fun and engaging aspects of Givebutter.

Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Smart, Turnkey Platform for Fundraising" January 30, 2025 5.0 We launched our Givebutter right before our biggest annual fundraiser. I was a bit nervous taking on a brand new platform at a time when there was very little room for error. I was able to teach myself most everything and then the support chat feature was a life saver for getting me over the finish line. I'm very grateful for this platform and can't wait to grow with it this year! Pros Ease of use on the platform, ability to showcase the live event feed, auctions and website embed Cons Lack of customization of the live feed, some formatting Switched from [PayPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/) Not enough functionality, barrier to entry Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you for sharing your experience! We love hearing how Givebutter helped you navigate your biggest fundraiser with confidence! Huge kudos to you for jumping right in and making it happen.
