### "Givebutter for Non-profit"

October 17, 2023

5.0

Givebutter is an excellent tool for non-profits. It creates a clean, pleasing view for prospective donors and an organized administration portal for those operating it. With low fees and allowing those fees to be placed on the customer, Givebutter gives you the best deal. It's constant tips and support articles give you great ideas for new strategies as you build your non-profit.

Pros

Givebutter has many pros going for it. Specifically for our business, the greatest tools that Givebutter offer are ticketing platform, customizable donation buttons, color/logo editing to help fit your brand, and the ability to host an online silent auction.

Cons

While Givebutter is a great tool for collecting donations, the one feature that is not customizable enough for our business is the discount on tickets. We would love to be able to limit how many times a discount code can be used, or do a buy one get one feature, etc.

### "Great features, could use some work on being user friendly"

May 4, 2023

4.0

For what we gained we are happy we used Givebutter but feel like there's a lot of improvement to give it 5 stars.

Pros

The options it offers: tracking campaigns, different giving methods, texting capabilitiesAmazing customer service

Cons

The integration process felt clunky, there was nothing telling you what to do nextIt seems to be built from the back end forward without taking daily maintenance into considerationReporting is sub-par and not customizable

### "Great Platform! "

November 30, 2018

5.0

Givebutter allowed for me to raise money for my club to ensure than finances would not be a barrier for a student to play on a club team. We greatly appreciated the platform and recommend it to anyone looking to raise funds for a good cause!

Pros

I love how the platform is more interactive than a GoFundMe page. That and they take only a very small percentage of the proceeds, unlike the bigger pages. I also really like the Givebutter crew, they are easy to work with.

Cons

There were some issued when I was trying to transfer the money back to the cause. It was a bit confusing to figure out how to access the raised money. I did a fundraiser about 2 years ago though, so it might have improved since then.

September 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

GiveButter is very intuitive. Our team was able to create our account and launch a fundraiser almost immediately. It is extremely user friendly.

Cons

I am not sure I have a least favorite feature. I've been really enjoying using GiveButter. We do use the free version of the technology though.

### "Makes fundraising easy!"

Pros

How easy it is to set up and navigate around the system. Is also easy for our clients to use.

### "We were looking for something different"

December 11, 2023

5.0

Great experience. Looking forward to using it for the whole year. I only used it for maybe 4-5 months.

Pros

1\. The interface is easy on the eyes. 2. Photos and video are easy to upload and post. This allowed me to keep the site looking current even after the event was over. 3. Auction was easy to manage pre, during, and post event campaign. 4. Payouts happen in a few clicks and funds were received, in most cases, the next day.

Cons

Nothing that stands out. I did ask support about a couple of changes on the Event campaign: I wanted to change the word Donate on the main button for the sponsorship menu since people wanted to "purchase" seats. \[sensitive content hidden\] provided me with steps on editing the word. My other request was making the Auction tab stand out. Again, \[sensitive content hidden\] helped me.

### "Excited to Get Started"

January 3, 2023

5.0

Pros

We are just starting out but after using a well known software with another nonprofit, I am looking forward to what I have seen so far. It seems to be very user friendly with the features we were looking for and more. It feels simplistic in a very good way - not overwhelming and yet covering a lot of important needs of a donor management software. It was easy to log in and set up the account. I am excited to have found Givebutter and look forward to it making my work easier and yet thorough.

Cons

I can't say - I haven't had it long enough to devlve into it

### "Auction was totally smooth...like butter!"

September 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

We used Givebutter for ticket sales and donations for a fundraising event, and also for the silent/online auction. The event page was easy to customize and share. When it came time to close the auction, the experience of checking out winning bidders and fulfilling items was flawless.

Cons

Registering to bid in the auction could have been more seamless; all the people at our event had purchased tickets through Givebutter, yet they had to re-register their information to bid in the auction. It would have been nice to have their info from the event registration automatically port over to the auction.

This is a great suggestion, Amy, that lots of other people agree with. Feel free to add your vote to the request for including auction registration with a ticket purchase. This is a planned upgrade, but we don't have an ETA yet. https://community.givebutter.com/raise/p/ticket-buyers-automatically-registered-for-auction

Wonderfull

Pros

I liked everything about givebutter. the auction function was super helpful in addition to the qr codes for each item.

Cons

Customer support was hit or miss. Sometimes I would hear back immediately, sometimes it would take a day or more.

### "Fundraising Campaign"

October 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

We created a GiveButter fundraiser for our 5K event where some fundraisers could create a fundraising team within the primary campaign and invite their friends to donate to their team. We then were able to identify which fundraising team raised the most money and it was a light-hearted competition for the fundraisers who competed. We found the fundraiser was easy to set up and worked well for our purposes.

Cons

We did not have any negative experiences with any aspects of the Givebutter set-up.

### "Give Butter Was A Good Starter Donation System"

May 8, 2023

4.0

Pros

We needed an east to use first campaign setup and it was perfect

Cons

The process time for donation payment and lack of auto transfer to banking systems made it heavy to track manually. Also little to no ongoing campaign management auto emails to those considering donation, perhaps a lack of feature upgrade on our part

Thanks for sharing this, Vanessa! If you are a verified non-profit, we'd be happy to activate auto-payouts for you. I'll include a link below with details. For emails, we do offer a free email system. While it's not automated, you can schedule when you would like your emails to go out, which provides a lot of flexibility and personalization. https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/3955087-how-to-enable-and-manage-automated-payouts https://help.givebutter.com/en/articles/6523588-how-to-create-an-outbound-email

### "PERFECT solution for small non-profits!"

January 23, 2024

5.0

Pros

I work for a tiny non-profit who had never accepted a digital donation until we started using Givebutter. Within a month we were able to be up and running to accept donations! We use it to fundraise and for event registration. I've been recommending it to EVERYONE I know in the industry.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of any cons! I love it

### "Effective and Efficient"

Givebutter has been a very effective tool to replace the other donation collecting tools used by our organization.

Pros

Givebutter is user friendly and requires minimal setup before you effectively collect donations.

Cons

I would appreciate a more expanded interface that could serve as a website landing page.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

FlipCause is cost prohibitive for small nonprofits.

May 16, 2023

4.0

Pros

Givebutters best feature, in my opinion, is the range of payment options they offer to donors. Our donors can choose from a wide array of payment options, including Paypal and Venmo, to purchase tickets or contribute to our cause.

Cons

Many donors do not want to put their email down however that is a requirement for the payment to process.

### "Givebutter helped my organization so much!! "

November 30, 2018

4.0

I started a school magazine from nothing, and we wanted to do print issues and weren’t going to change our mind. Givebutter allowed us to make enough money every semester to help fund the printing costs.

Pros

What first drew me to givebutter was that it didn’t take any fees out of what we got, we weren’t going to lose a large percent of donations to the host website.

Cons

There wasn’t much I didn’t like about the software, the only thing is that it isn’t as well known as go fund me for example so I don’t think as many people were “on board” with donating because they didn’t know what the website was
