### "A Dream Come True"

February 26, 2021

5.0

Pros

The integration into our Bloomerang database has save us COUNTLESS hours of donation entry. I was thrilled to find it SO user friendly. It looks great. People love it. The customer service is EXCELLENT.

Cons

I can't think of anything that I don't like about it!

### "Soccer Club"

December 21, 2023

5.0

It has been exceptional. We have used this for planned fundraising, and impromptu events.

Pros

Ease of customization, use, and it appears it is very engaged with the non profit space and needs.

Cons

There was very little we'd offer to improve. Further customization is always a plus, but if that detracts from ease of use then we appreciate "ease of use".

### "It seems to work pretty well"

October 3, 2023

4.0

Overall it's been a good change from Eventbrite with less glitches in our emails.

Pros

I appreciate the event management and how folks can see who is signing up, donating, etc. The system makes it really easy to communicate with attendees. The dashboard is overall pretty easy to navigate.

Cons

Some of the added features for additional questions to attendees could use some improvement to make those easier to update. It would also be nice if separate projects didn't show that it is "benefitting" the organization its connected to on the events page. That's fine if that's how it's set-up in the back but not really necessary, unless requested.

Switched from

[Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/)

One of the reasons was the several glitches we were experiencing and not much support.

### "Great for first time on-line and in-person silent auction! Will use again next year!"

September 20, 2023

4.0

Pros

It was easy to use and set up our silent auction. We were glad to have a platform this year to send to our customers that couldn't attend the event. We had one individual contribute over $2,000 since he was out of town bidding. That's money we wouldn't have had if we just did a live silent auction.

Cons

The only complaint we had on the consumer side of things is that they couldn't do last minute bids because it took too long to refresh. We also didn't like that customer service only had week day hours. Our event was on the weekend and we needed assistance then.

### "Butter Ambassador & Regional Manager "

November 30, 2018

5.0

Great! I think a lot of my struggles were self induced and that it was a great way to interact with people I may never have. I certainly recommend it.

Pros

I loved the ease of use. Even the people who I had raise money never once mentioned it as a tough software to use. That makes everything much quicker.

Cons

I would say nothing but I feel like that doesn’t provide you with insights to optimize. I suppose the only thing that comes to mind is the navigation through the software.

### "Give butter review"

January 22, 2024

4.0

Givebutter has been a useful tool for us to raise funds for our youth education program, and direct people from our website directly to a donation platform that is professional and relatively easy to use for many age groups.

Pros

The user interface is easy and attractive.

Cons

I wish there was an ability to show more photos and videos of our project for donors.

May 9, 2023

5.0

GiveButter was easy to use and presented our silent auction so well! We are looking forward to using GiveButter again.I also appreciated the thank you note after our silent auction was over.

Pros

It was easy to set up our silent auction! It was also pretty user friendly. I appreciate the option to contribute to GiveButter prior to taking our deposit.

Cons

Honestly, no complaints! We primarily used the silent auction feature and it worked very well for our organization.

### "The Edna House loves Give Butter"

May 4, 2023

4.0

We had to sell tickets to an in-person event, but needed to be more advanced than our old cash and carry ticket sale method.

Pros

Tracking our progress and seeing what each donor bought or just donated.

Cons

It seemed that the app didn't give as much info as the website did.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

The fees. A small nonprofit like us really needs to watch every penny.

Review Source

Response from Givebutter

May 17, 2023

Givebutter loves the Edna House, too! You're right - the app is primarily designed to check in tickets and take quick donations via a credit card reader. We're still building on the features there, so for now our web-based dashboard has the most bells and whistles.

### "Amazing Up-And-Coming Platform"

December 7, 2018

5.0

Overall I’m just waiting for the next opportunity I’ll have to use the platform! Very pleased :)

Pros

I liked best the personal approach that took when operating the site. Being able to reach out to him directly and getting help when we had issues with the platform made me trust I could use this for anything I needed to the fundraiser for.

Cons

I think the Meme page could be a little smoother designed. I’m not sure what that would look like but I think the concept is excellent and will evolve to be even better.

Perfect so far.

Pros

It has changed the way we get donations. I love the ease of use for our individual donors. It is accessible for all levels of technology familiarity.

Cons

Not sure. I don't have an answer. Maybe I can answer better at a later time as we are still in our first year of using the product and learning.

May 10, 2023

5.0

Pros

Givebutter allowed us to insert an online donation widget on our website in mere minutes. People were up and running with donations easily, quickly, with many donation options.

Cons

To have to enable automatic payout manually by contacting someone is a bit wonky.

### "Positive Experience Both Times Using"

December 1, 2018

5.0

I used it as a fundraising platform for my college business org, a 501(c)(3). People enjoyed it and we got a lot of positive feedback from it.

Pros

I liked the UX/UI - it's a simple design with not an inundating amount of features that is easy and fun to use.

Cons

Brand recognition is pretty low - people are less willing to put their cc information into a website that they don't recognize. I think marketing could go a long way - maybe through a high profile fundraiser for some college phone-a-thon or something.

### "Worth it for small nonprofits looking for a free CRM/fundraising option!"

February 8, 2024

5.0

Pros

We have found this service to be extremely beneficial in tracking online and offline donations. IN the past we have used a series of spreadsheets, due to limited funding for a fundraising or crm platform. This has completely filled that gap for us.

Cons

I would like to be able to archive old campaigns. We have some with similar ones from previous years and they continue to pop up. Don't want to accidentally miscategorize something.

Thanks for your kind review! While it's not possible to entirely remove a previous campaign, you are able to make them inactive and stop accepting payments – our Help Center has more information on closing out a campaign if you need assistance with this! Keep making the world a butter place.

We’ve enjoyed using give butter. It’s well designed and made it very easy for people to use.

### "Friendly Fundraising!"

February 8, 2021

5.0

We've seen an increase in fundraising efforts on both ends, it attracts donors and fundraisers because of it's ease of use.

Pros

This platform streamlines teams and campaign groups, is easy to customize and compatible with social media efforts. I also like that donors are given the option to assume the fees so their donation goes as far as they are promising.

Cons

Often between uses, I'm logged out and have to sign in again before I can perform one-click actions, like react to donations.

### "Great Customer Service!"

February 25, 2021

5.0

Being able to continue our fundraising efforts in a virtual format during the pandemic has been incredible. It has opened our eyes to the benefits of this channel of fundraising and we will likely continue implementing it into our annual fundraising efforts.

Pros

We absolutely loved the donor wall, as did those donating to our cause. We did a follow-up survey after our first campaign hosted by GiveButter and this was voted as the favorite feature of our campaign by our constituents.

Cons

There is an ease of use about this software which makes it easy to build onto. Some features that could be improved upon would be the ability to align photos and text (content) better, to be able to track site visitors, and being able to order/remove information at the top of the page prior to seeing the story. That said, Givebutter is great about accepting recommendations and has made many upgrades simply by user suggestion, which is an awesome customer service attribute!

GiveButter is so user-friendly on both ends, unlike many donation sites we have used in the past. It's also highly customizable so that we can ensure that the donation pages are exactly how we want them to be. I love GiveButter so much and have recommended them to many other non-profits.

We use Givebutter for our event management and tickets for our non-profit. This platform has been amazing to use and they keep adding new features, which I know will only make it better. Thank you!!

February 24, 2021

We had to change the way we were accepting online donations due to a change in what our parent organization was requiring in terms of security documentation. And, we needed to do it very quickly. GiveButter was able to provide the necessary documentation we needed for the "higher ups" and was very easy for me to get set-up and working.

Pros

Love how easy it was to create and implement an online donation campaign.

Cons

No disappointments at this stage, but we have only used it for accepting online donations.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

Price, ease of use, security documentation they could provide
