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. Your kind words and support mean the world to us, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of the community! Wishing you all the best, and our team is always here if you need anything at all. 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! DD Delani D. Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good value for P2P & general donation form. 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.

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! JS Jenni S. Lead Project Forester Renewables & Environment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Givebutter is the best!" October 8, 2025 5.0 It's been incredible - wish we would have switched sooner! We are a small but mighty non-profit and Givebutter truly adds to our capacity by integrating so well with our other existing systems - saves us countless hours. I've worked with a lot of different software/fundraising systems/CRMs over the last 20 years at nonprofits and most of them do about 75% of what Givebutter does. Never seem to be able to get the best features from one system and end up settling for a system that offers 'most' key features with some downsides after taking a lot of time to compare their features & pricing. With Givebutter I don't feel like I'm settling because they offer 100%+ the features I'm looking for in one system for a great value. Pros Everything! It's the best! Cannot beat the value and their customer success and support team members are quick to respond, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful - whether using the Live Chat, email or by phone call - they are easy to connect with at any time and get a response. The free templates are excellent time savers and cover a wide range of topics - everything we need and more! It was extremely easy to switch over to the Givebutter platform and we had everything setup to launch a new campaign and begin collecting donations within an hour! Everything runs seamlessly now and managing donor payouts, transactions, ticket sales, etc is very streamlined within the Givebutter dashboard - very user friendly for our team (even our 'not tech savvy' team members are using it with ease). Cons Nothing! Setting up the campaigns to deliver from our domain email address vs a Givebutter domain email address was new to us and we got a little turned around in the process - but this was 100% user error and our Givebutter Success Manager hopped on a call and screen shared/walked us through the process and then verified it was setup correctly before exiting the call.

Switched from [Flipcause](https://www.capterra.com/p/136488/Flipcause/) Flipcause customer support is not responsive and they do not integrate well with our existing systems causing a lot of duplication.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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. Review Source Response from Givebutter April 24, 2025 Aloha and mahalo for the kind words! We're so happy to hear the platform is helping you streamline your fundraising and connect with your community more easily. We totally get that there’s always room to make things even more user-friendly, and your feedback helps us improve.

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.

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. We know getting the hang of everything, like setting up a donation page without a goal or sending emails to past donors, can feel tricky at first. Please know our team is here for you every step of the way, just one chat or email away! We’re available 24/7 and would be very happy to help you with anything you need.

Interim Database Administrator Newspapers Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Givebutter (Free version)" February 21, 2025 4.0 Givebutter has been great as a free option, good to enough to the point where we were able to replace a paid version of another software with it. It lacks a lot of fine-tuning options for exports and can be slow on some fronts, but it works great for managing donations as a primary tool. The built-in duplicate management tools are not very effective, requiring a lot of manual merging. Still, it is rare to find anything as effective and easy to pick up as this in the realm of free SaaS products, and I imagine the paid version with reporting makes spotting duplicates easier within the service. Pros For a free product, this is an effective payments handler and an impressive database software for small nonprofits. The included import wizard makes managing data over time easy enough for one database admin, and the email integration with Canva is great for nonprofit staff in general. Cons Duplicate management is not good at spotting the same contributor between donations, as it does not check secondary data for possible duplicates. Segments (at least in the free version) has some issues with exports. For example, organizing data there with the intention of then downloading a csv still leads to a full list of contacts or transactions rather than a pared-down export. The UI can also be a bit odd, with buttons hard to locate, and the tax summaries take quite a while to generate even for a relatively small number. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 27, 2025 Thank you so much for sharing, Joe! We're thrilled to hear that Givebutter has been a great free option for your nonprofit and that you're finding it effective for managing donations. Your insights are incredibly helpful as we continue to improve the platform. Your support means the world to us, and we're so grateful to have you as part of the Givebutter family. CM Chandra M.

Help is readily available, everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Pros Everything is in one place. Board management, donor management, event details, ticketing, auctions, thanks and communication. Cons There could be a little more flexibility with page design. For example, there isn't a place to list ticket options and different sponsorship levels clearly on the same page. It would also be nice to receive a discount or rebate based on the number of donors who cover their givebutter processing fees.

January 2, 2025 5.0 Great, it's been good and getting better since I've used it. It gets the job done, and is in a sweet spot where it has powerful features but is also simple enough to be easy to use. Pros The best parts about Givebutter are ease of use, the variety of features offered, constant updates to add better quality-of-life improvements to fundraisers, responsive support, low fees, basically every payment method you could want, and lots of software integration options. Cons These aren't all necessarily cons for our organization, but I think that givebutter is very well-suited to small teams and small-to-moderate fundraising campaigns(<$1M). If you're doing larger fundraisers you can use to supplement your activities, but its strength is more in handling online donations, auctions, etc., things with less specialized software requirements.

January 31, 2025 5.0 I appreciate Givebutter Support’s willingness to always help out. They always answer my questions! Pros I love it’s seamless integration with Bloomerang. Cons I wish I was able to see all of the transactions in a payout. For example, if a campaign has $100 that I’m able to withdraw, I’d like to see a breakdown of which transactions contributed to it.

Pros I like the ease of donations and the ability to ask the donor to cover the fees. Cons I think that the campaign and event set up could be simplified. Many organizations collect general donations perpetually. They also host periodic events that may or may not require a ticketed entry. It’s hard for family members to know whether to donate to an individual donor link VS an event that they won’t attend. Review Source Response from Givebutter May 24, 2025 Thanks so much for sharing this thoughtful review! We're glad to hear the donation process has been smooth for you. And you make a great point about the campaign and event setup — simplifying things for families and supporters is such valuable feedback. We’ll definitely pass it along to the team! Wishing you all the very best LG Laura G.

They make it really easy to begin fundraising. The different types of campaigns available is one of my favorite features. Pros It's nice that it's a free option for smaller nonprofits. It's also super easy to add transactions and comments. Cons Pulling reports is difficult, unless you have the premium subscription which I have not tried yet.
