### "Better than Sliced Bread"

December 11, 2023

5.0

It has been a great experience overall for all users, and donors.

Pros

I love Givebutter because it's an all-in-one CRM and fundraising platform that makes asking for and receiving donations super easy. We can have competitions, and have a great way to follow up with our donors with thank you's and new asks the following year. It's Free!

Cons

The only thing I wish is that there was an opportunity for users to become experts with additional training and perhaps train other non-profits on the use to grow the platform.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

Because it was free, and really easy to use.

### "Givebutter saved us!"

May 4, 2023

5.0

This platform is so much easier to navigate, way more intuitive, and overall just looks better and cleaner than other platforms we have used in the past!

Pros

As a startup non-profit we were getting killed by fees by other fundraising platforms. Givebutter gave us a place to breathe, to build, and did so with SUCH EASE. I LOVE this platform!

Cons

I need to spend more time in Givebutter, but for now I don't have complaints.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

It was easy to implement, didn't take 50 steps for approval, and just was quick to get things set up and moving.

### "GiveButter Fundraising"

November 7, 2023

5.0

This was my first year as a GiveButter administrator. I started it from scratch. I did a lot of trial and error to get the campaign setup the way we wanted it.

Pros

This was my first year as a GiveButter administrator. I found that it was easy to use and download reports. I imported our contacts, and used the email Engagement portion. I tested the QR Code and it worked but we didn't end up using it. Maybe next time.

Cons

I found that some users struggled to join their team if they went straight to the "Donate" button instead of the "Join a Team" button.

### "A Great Switch"

February 24, 2021

5.0

We have been very pleased with Givebutter and their openness to update/upgrade their platform based on feature requests of the non-profit users.

Pros

The user interface with Givebutter is much better than the previous online donation form we were using. We like that it is a step-by-step click through opposed to a long form to fill out. Having the ability to run an online donation and an event page in the same system is helpful to our team to not have to learn two different types of platforms.

Cons

Givebutter promotes itself to be free to the non-profit, and the donor pays the platform fees. We would like to be able to choose to pay a monthly price to pay some of the platform fees on our own (as we know it is part of doing business) instead of passing them on to the donor every time.

February 26, 2021

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review, Rhea! We love reading that donors are finding your new donation form easier and more enjoyable to use. We appreciate you letting us know your preferences about platform fees, too. We can certainly take this into consideration!

### "Event-based User"

January 22, 2024

5.0

It has been terrific and enables me to focus on the key components of my not-for-profit work. We use events as our primary fundraiser, and GiveButter gives us a ton of flexibility and ways to engage. We are not a traditional fundraiser - we are "episodic" around key events, and the campaigns work well for us.

Pros

The flexibility enables us to tailor campaigns that match our event targets.

Cons

It took a little practice to learn where features were located.

### "Great Product for Non-Profits"

May 9, 2023

5.0

Excellent

Pros

We have been pleased with how user-friendly the page is and how easy it was to share and get our campaigns launched. We liked the idea of passing the fees and processing costs to the donor or purchaser so we could received the total amount of the donation.

Cons

Nothing so far. Everything we have used this for has been a positive experience. Would like to see a point-of-sale option for users in the future so we could process card payments and continue to pass the fees along to the purchaser.

Thanks so much for buttering us up, Sandi! We do have an app that supports a card reader. It's not designed for point-of-sale but it would be easy to use as a payment collector with our "quick donation" option.

### "Challenging software for auction event"

May 9, 2023

3.0

I was so optimistic, but it fell very short in overall use during and after the event.

Pros

The best part was the lack of cost. It was free.

Cons

There's a ton of room for improvement for using this as an auction platform. Bidders and items need to be able to be sorted on the dashboard. Registering guests was cumbersome - they had to enter their info at least twice. Listing items was okay, but the display sheets that GB generates don't include photos, so I had to edit EVERY SINGLE DISPLAY SHEET to make it visually appealing/include a photo. Time consuming.

October 17, 2023

5.0

I have had a wonderful overall experience with Givebutter.

Pros

I love the Donation button feature. I also enjoy being able to embed a form onto a page.

Cons

Lack of flexibility using page vs. form. Sometimes I would like to do both, particularly when hosting an onlnine auction.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

The price (free)

### "Middle School Orchestra"

December 13, 2023

4.0

As a first time user, there was a small learning curve, but then it was really easy to share the link to the orchestra parents, and instruct students how to share their information safely.

Pros

I like the process of asking for donations electronically, so my students can reach out for help from friends and family members without going door to door. People they know out of town can help them directly, without paying for a plane ticket to see them.

Cons

Having the amount every student has raised on the main page is a feature I'd like to remove. I want to see their face's and first name, but not the amount they have brought in.

### "Givebutter Fundraiser"

April 15, 2024

4.0

Pros

Givebutter was easy to share out to others who were at the event and not at the event. I liked the option to have the person donating be the one to pay for the fees as we are a small non-profit that was looking for a platform without outrageous fees. We used Givebutter's live feed which was fun to see it move in real time and we used the QR code provided for easy access.

Cons

When we first started using Givebutter we were not sure what the best approach was for our fundraiser. I met with a Givebutter employee and instead of explaining how to do something, they sent me links to videos to watch instead. Although I was able to figure out how to create a way for people to vote, it was more trial and error on my part rather than Givebutter actually helping me. During my video call with them they tried to sell me more on increasing parts of my website and not the fundraiser itself.

### "Incredibly flexible tool; can't beat the value!"

May 4, 2023

5.0

Our Teeter-Totter Marathon campaign has seen a boost in giving since we started using Givebutter in 2021. Much of that is due to the level of engagement and mostly real-time measurements (limits are not due to the platform) of the event's success. We are grateful to have this platform available to us.

Pros

I like that's it's free for us to use and we can "tip" them after our always-successful campaigns. Having a platform that's not cost-prohibitive but fully-featured is a blessing.

Cons

I cannot think of anything we've had issues with or felt was missing.

Pros

GiveButter has been a huge support for our small nonprofit organization. It’s easy to use, both for the organization and for our donors.

5.0

Pros

It's simple: if you're looking for the most comprehensive suite solution for your nonprofit operations, whether it be fundraising, donor management, CRM, or many other focus areas, Givebutter has got you covered.

Cons

It would be helpful to have an onboarding component. I believe this may exist, but it would be great if there were an automatic video schedule 1:1 to get things set up (e.g. Quickbooks onboarding does this).

Fabulous experience with significant ease of use

Pros

Givebutter is an easy and user-friendly platform. It feels like we have increased our participant numbers this year and I suspect much of it is due to the ease of payment.

Cons

With prior platforms, we were able to have multiple tickets that could turn on and off automatically. I did not need to trigger them. I could set, and forget.

May 4, 2023

I was very excited at first but now know Givebutter is still new and growing.

Pros

The low cost to no cost feature. It helps with dealing with the issues. Also all the features are nice to be in one system even though they seemed to work seperately.

Cons

I wish information were shared within Givebutter. But a user is entered 3 different times, especially for an event campaign. A donor who buys a ticket shouldn't have to register again for the auction. Too many steps to be in the same "system". Also not being able to number or organize the auction. Wish we could group auction winners so we know all the items they won instead of exporting and filtering and counting all the packages they have.
