### "Givebutter gives better"

January 7, 2024

5.0

Very good experience and will recommend and use again.

Pros

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. Will be using them very often moving forward.

Cons

There were no many negatives, but if there was it was not user friendly for the folks that were not familiar with Smart Phones. There was also a bit of frustration getting set-up with the payment system through Stripe.

### "Best for small/start up Nonprofit"

December 21, 2023

5.0

I switched to give butter after frustration with other non-profit organizations for giving.

Pros

The option for donor to pay the small processing fee.

Cons

I have a hard time organizing reports in small sections.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

The Option for fees to be waived by adding a tip button.

### "User-friendly and always evolving"

February 25, 2021

5.0

It has been great. The customer service team is understanding and quick to respond. If there's something I ask for that isn't an option, they will add it to their list of requests and usually get to it in about 6 months or so depending on how popular of a request it is. I can't wait to see what they come out with next.

Pros

Love that it is easy to use for admins and donors. The Givebutter team is so open to feedback and makes frequent updates that help us fulfill our need better

Cons

They automatically add a 5% tip to every donation unless you opt to turn it off, in which case you would absorb the cost as an organization. It's definitely the more feasible choice to have it turned on, but beware if your donors don't notice it, they might come back to you very unhappy...

### "Givebutter--odd name but a great service for nonprofits, like sports teams."

September 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

I like all the features for customizing a donation page. Integration with social media and getting my team onboarded were both easy.

Cons

Honestly, the name is my least favorite part of GiveButter. Something like GiveFreely or GiveMore would feel less awkward to recommend to people. I think some users would benefit from a setup wizard because there are many settings for admins to read through and toggle--some of which they may not know about.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

The fees were cheaper, and I didn't to hire a salesperson to help me run my fundraiser. I just needed a platform.

Auction donation platform for inexpensive

Pros

I like how aesthetically pleasing their format is. They also make it very easy to embed their widgets onto your website directly.

Cons

I do not like that any extra information I associated with the registration of a contact in a transaction does not show up in reporting.

May 4, 2023

Givebutter has been great. As a new nonprofit, it has been an essential tool in growing our online donations and running fundraising events. It's easy to use, has great customer support, and best of all it's completely free!

Pros

Givebutter makes it easy to collect online donations, manage fundraising events, and set up peer-to-peer fundraising. It's easy to use and it's completely free.

Cons

I wish there was an option to sell online raffle tickets.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

Pros

the costumer service is amazing! it makes the whole thing for a non expert really doable. i also really like the fact that i can customize the features and easily edit anything i need.

Cons

there are a lot of ways that they could make tracking tickets and contacts more streamlined in both the website and the app . it's tough to be specific but i often find myself having to do multiple downloads to get the answers i need when things should just be easily viewable

### "Good CRM for Nonprofits"

January 23, 2024

4.0

Pros

GiveButter makes donation tracking simple, and it was quickly integrated into our website for online giving. The ability to upload past donor information as a batch, rather than individually, saved us a lot of time.

Cons

Though GiveButter offers a quick way to segment and contact donors through email, the interface to create eye-catching newsletters is quite limited. It has been a challenge to use the email option. It would be wonderful if they could integrate Canva better so that links would transfer over, but as of now the Cava links are disabled when Canva images are uploaded.

May 4, 2023

4.0

Pros

Easy to use once you get used to it (take the time to explore your options and learn what they do), transactions are tracked in an organized way, auction site ran very well and looked great

Cons

Using Givebutter on a mobile device was a bit of an adjustment and just took some time to get used to. Sometimes it was challenging to locate the correct pages, but again, it just required taking the time to learn the system.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

We liked the look and pricing structure that Givebutter offered.

### "Great for a PTO Fundraiser!"

May 4, 2023

5.0

Awesome - very supported right from the get go, and really easy to use from the user end and admin end.

Pros

We used Givenbutter for a Fund-a-Thon at the elementary school (raise money and run laps type event). Most of our families do flat rate donations so it worked great. We were able to raise money based on each class and it really built community. The best thing was the platform fee is $0 (if you have the option to tip “turned on”) and because the “please cover processing fees” is autochecked and givers have to un-check it, we only had to pay $40 (of $20,000+ in fees). For reference, our fees on a different site the year before were $900. So huge savings!!

Cons

If more folks are going to use Givebutter for school fundraisers, there are definitely some add ons that would be great - like a unique link for each class/child, the ability to pledge and then be charged based on the actual number of laps completed (without having to have the donor return to the site). But these are extras - what it is right now works just great.

September 28, 2023

2.0

Had to make up our own work arounds to accomplish our goals. In the end it was a lot more work than it would have been if we paid more for another software.

Pros

It is pretty easy to setup for an online/silent auction.

Cons

It doesn't work well for a full gala that includes a live auction, Fund-A-Need, and other revenue generators. Also, there customer support is slow and not all that helpful.

### "Everyone should use Givebutter!"

December 17, 2018

5.0

I would highly recommend Givebutter to anyone looking for an easy to use and engaging fundraising platform. It's especially great for college student organizations. My student organization has used Givebutter since the beginning and we have seen them continue making updates and improvements to make it even better. PFTK loves Givebutter!

Pros

Givebutter is an easy to use platform that is fun and engaging, especially for college students. What first drew us to Givebutter was that they keep fees super low, which isn't found on any other platforms. We also love the team fundraising option and your members can even personalize their page. The new event feature for selling tickets is a plus. They also have excellent customer service! The team really makes it personal and you can always get in touch in a timely manner.

Cons

I can't think of any. They are always making improvements. The Givebutter team is very open to feeback and will do everything they can to make your experience better.

### "Great Product for Events Management"

January 11, 2024

5.0

Pros

Givebutter is an easy platform for donors to understand. On the non-profit side, it is easy to customize the landing page, event, tickets, and thank you message but it doesn't take too long to get it all done. The onsite payment processing is also extremely easy to use as all you need is a smart phone and no other additional hardware.

Cons

The major con of give butter is the inability to set up ticket or item purchases to be done from a device onsite. You have to either direct the donor to the landing page themselves or key it in as a donation which is not always the best option as tickets and items have fair market values that need to be reported to the donor.

Overall, I am very happy with our choice to use Givebutter to manage donations. The ease of use both on the backend for our Admin team and on the front end for our donors is superb. The platform is not overly complicated and works great for a small organization like ours.

Pros

Givebutter is a super intuitive platform to set up and start using. I really enjoyed the ease of integration with our existing website and the simplicity of the donation form.

Cons

The credit card fees from both Givebutter and their payment processing platform, Stripe, can eat into donations.

### "Private school used givebutter for fundraiser "

January 24, 2024

4.0

We had an overall positive experience with Givebutter, but would just like to see a few more simple tools for catering to student fundraising.

Pros

Givebutter has a very nice-looking platform that is easy for donors to use. Setting up "teams" is easy and team members have simple, but effective tools for sharing the campaign.

Cons

The cons are some simple things that would seem obvious to include in the platform. Because we were running a donor campaign where every student in our school had a donation page, we needed parents to be able set up those pages for their students especially if they were elementary. Many parents have multiple elementary students and much to our surprise, there was not a way for a parent to use their email address to setup more than on team member page. Another small thing is that even though there is a sidebar feed of recent donors, you can't go to a team members page and see who gave to them. This is pretty odd because not even our students would know many times who gave to them.

Customer service is the real deal. Super nice, problem solvers.

Pros
