### "GiveButter is Great for Nonprofit Fundraising "

November 9, 2023

5.0

Pros

GiveButter provides an easy and cost-effective way to raise funds from donors using electronic payment methods. This has been a great addition to our cash and check fundraising options while not costing the organization much, if any, money.

Cons

It was a bit difficult to figure out how to actually withdraw the money, especially with Stripe involved as well, but I used help articles and live chat for assistance.

### "GiveButter makes accepting credit card donations a breeze!"

January 23, 2024

5.0

Pros

GiveButter is a user-friendly platform for accepting donations by credit card. It easily integrated with our website. We especially love the fact that the donor receives an immediate email with a tax receipt, and we receive an email that makes it incredibly easy to write a personal thank you.

Cons

We found the option to give "tips" to GiveButter, in addition to the processing fees, confusing. It may not be clear to our donors why there are two options to pay additional charges on top of their originally stated donation.

Thank you so much for buttering us up! Our fee settings are configurable, so you can require that donors pay these for you, or hide them entirely (fees then come out of the donated funds) – this may reduce confusion a little bit! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying using Givebutter.

### "A good alternative to fundraising platforms"

October 3, 2023

4.0

Pros

Recently switched over to Givebutter and found the integration very easy and quick. Setting up new pages was a breeze. Customer service is amazing, they respond within minutes through the live chat and are very helpful.

Cons

There are some features missing that can be implemented in the future, such as better newsletter/email creation options. Building a newsletter on another platform like Network for Good was so much easier. In our work, we use a campaign that runs indefinitely and may sometimes have events. Found out that creating an event with the same every-day campaign and selling online tickets means that you cannot delete an event from the campaign. You'll have to duplicate the campaign and that can make donation tracking a bit harder.

### "Excellent Tool for Any Nonprofit"

February 5, 2024

5.0

Give utter has improved our fundraising capacity and reduced the workload on our small nonprofit considerably. We've used it to host events, sell tickets, run an auction, and set up monthly and one time donations to multiple funds. We have nothing but excellent things to say about our experiences with it and it's increased our funding significantly.

Pros

The ease of use, clean design, integrations, tracking, and robust tools.

Cons

That donators cannot put their chosen name on their donation and have it show publicly. Their legal name shows instead.

Thank you so much for this feedback! Donors can enter a display name on the "Show your support" slide – this is optional, and a legal name is never required for public display. Donors can also donate anonymously if they choose to do so! We're so glad to hear that you're enjoying using Givebutter.

### "You cannot beat this price for the features! "

November 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

FREE! Wow, nothing is free anymore. GiveButter seemed too good to be true, yet then it worked incredibly for a ticketed event and helped us acquire new donors (and contact info), ticket sales of course, then additional donations. Really impressed that this provides a major boost to smaller or community ran orgs. We started using it for my Lions club because we couldn't justify any of the competition - and had our most successful annual event ever!

Cons

The CRM feature is real basic - which is fine honestly. We had a CRM, so I didn't rely on it. For a newer nonprofit or smaller org, I think that would be perfect.

### "Great for small operations"

July 21, 2023

5.0

Easy to use, limited customization.

Pros

The ability to do an auction with mobile compatibility was a critical part of our decision. It's simple and easy to deploy.

Cons

I wish I had more ability to make a polished landing page. It's very generic, and this is a feature I'd be willing to pay a bit extra for. Additionally, we didn't necessarily want a progress bar on our page for an event registration function.

October 17, 2023

It has been good.

Pros

Givebutter has been a wonderful fundraising platform for our new nonprofit Compassion Kitchens. They are great because they dont charge us anything and have wonderful customer service. All of the fundraising features are also easily uploadable onto our website..

Cons

The only issue we have is that they charge the donor a small transaction fee, which other fundraising platforms like ZEFFY do not.

### "Software is easy to use. Reporting function is weak."

January 22, 2024

4.0

Pros

The simplicity of the software to use and the ease of donating

Cons

### "WILC Givebutter 2023"

November 7, 2023

5.0

Staff and board have commented the ease of use. We are a small nonprofit (around $500,000 gross income per year and ten employees) and appreciate the low fees and no cost of implementation.

Pros

Using it for the first time for our annual Fundraising Gala for our autism specific nonprofit. Able to add to the donor management easily. Low cost and fees.

Cons

We haven't noticed any concerns about Givebutter at this time. Staff and board have not shared any negative comments.

### "Best value for the Money Easy to Use"

May 15, 2023

5.0

We've had a great experience with GiveButter. The website we inherited has a clunky donor module both to work with, but especially for donors. GiveButter's is streamlined and easy to set up.

Pros

What I like most is the ease of use and the look and feel of the product.

Cons

If I'm going to be honest, the only thing I don't like about the product is the name. I feel I have to explain what the product is to potential donors because of the name.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

Low cost and business model.

### "The Best Site to Fundraise "

November 30, 2018

5.0

Givebutter is easily accessible, customer friendly, effective, transparent about their minimal fees, and the best site to fundraise, hands down, no questions asked. I used to fundraise on other platforms, but I will now always stick to Givebutter after having a continued remarkable​ experience with the company. I'm very thankful that I discovered this site, and it has saved me a great amount of time & energy with my fundraisers. I've also seen a spike in my crowdfunding success by​ using this company.

Pros

I most like the new ticketing feature for events because I plan to directly use Givebutter for a future project where there will be both crowdfunding for the tour and ticket sales for each event along our stops. Givebutter is a simple and brilliant solution for all of your fundraising needs, and this ticket feature is an example that shows how accessible, practical, and user-friendly the site is. I love how all these tools will be centered in one platform, and that helps me out tremendously.

Cons

There are very few things that I don't like about Givebutter. As the company evolves, there are better and better additions to the givebutter.com site. I definitely can't complain about the software because I've had such an easy and fun time using this fundraising platform.

Givebutter made it easy for our school's parent organization to create a fundraising campaign for a new playground. The progress bar helped generate momentum and raise more than we thought possible.

### "Givebutter: The Gift That Keeps on Giving"

November 18, 2021

5.0

It allows us to generate more revenue during fundraising campaigns via the simple-to-setup Text-2-Give function.

Pros

Our experience with Givebutter was smooth like-- you guessed it-- butter. It's an extremely simple platform that can be used as an addition to any campaign where your org seeks multiple touchpoints for donation options. We use it for Text-2-Give during live events, and it works miracles.

Cons

Honestly, if this was a fuller, more expansive CRM and comprehensive marketing tool, we'd consider using it for all fundraising and development purposes. The only thing we dislike is that they don't offer more!

Givebutter is a great platform to help with accepting credit card donations.

Givebutter is easy to use. Easy to create a fundraising landing page. Easy to integrate into fundraising campaigns with multiple media uses. Love the texting feature as well. Great added bonus for campaigning. I love the information that Givebutter sends as well. They are always sending tricks and tips through newsletters and webinars.
