### "Center Director"

January 22, 2024

5.0

It has been great. Easy to use and cost effective

Pros

The cost is low and the product is easy to use with many features that are very helpful.

Cons

I would like to have the ability to set up and track guests for a Gala. A tool to put who will be setting at each table.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

The no cost option with a great usable tool

### "Helpful for Peer to Peer Fundraising"

May 9, 2023

5.0

Very cost effective and easy to use tool.

Pros

GiveButter is an extremely cost effective way to implement a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign. It is well organized and simple to use.

Cons

Peer-to-peer users found it confusing how to access and edit their fundraising pages. Some easy video guides that orgs can use would be helpful. It was also confusing whether to set it up as a Campaign or Event. I read the guides in Help section, but some video walkthroughs would have helped.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

Simplicity. Price. Especially for peer-to-peer fundraising.

### "We couldn't do it without Givebutter"

December 22, 2023

5.0

Givebutter is excellent and I would highly recommend it to other nonprofits.

Pros

Givebutter is one of the easiest, most cost-effective fundraising tools for our small non-profit. I am the only staff member, and they have made it so easy to set up and manage our fundraising events. It has saved me time and has made it easier for our board members and volunteers to stay engaged in fundraising as well.

Cons

I wish the reporting functionality was able to be filtered a bit more.

### "Auction Review"

March 19, 2024

5.0

Pros

I love that there are so many features available for fundraising. My organization uses the auction feature most often and it is fairly easy to use on our end.

Cons

When using the auction feature, there are options for categorizing items. This option does not seem to make it hard to see all items for those viewing the auction items. When done with a category, they cannot easily access the rest of the items. Viewing of the auction items could be improved.

### "GreenLight Loves Givebutter!"

November 30, 2018

5.0

GreenLight Solutions Foundation found Givebutter when we were searching for a cost-effective way to crowdfund and raise money to grow our organization. When we joined Givebutter a little over a year and a half ago the whole process was pretty new for us, but overtime it became easier to use and has really helped us do more than we could have with out it. Funds from Givebutter have helped pay for supplies for students at ASU, project materials for local businesses, and even helped pay for our business trip to Pittsburgh to attend the 2018 AASHE Conference! We love Givebutter's new homepage/interface/UX and the fun communication/branding is cool too. Many thanks to Max & his team!!

Pros

Fun company, simple to use software, and excellent customer service. Givebutter has helped grow our organization by cultivating grassroots fundraising efforts.

Cons

Some functionality is difficult to navigate on the website, like going between campaign and chapters and such...although with the new set up it does seem easier to use.

### "So much better than Eventbrite!"

December 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

We loved the ease and economy of setting up and using Givebutter for a recent fundraising event. The software allowed donors to purchase different types of tickets, include credit card fees in their purchase and make an additional donation on top of their ticket price - bonus! Event check-in was a breeze with different options for ticket scanning and guest look up. Most importantly, Givebutter kept the focus on our event - there were no annoying ads or distractions on the site, and I trust that Givebutter won't bombard our users with post-event messaging. We are happy we made the switch to Givebutter and highly recommend it to other nonprofits.

Cons

The ease of tracking and collecting funds is amazing with Givebutter!

Pros

We loved the easy of using Givebutter for our fundraising efforts! Our small preschool was tasked with a large goal the Givebutter made it easy. The online auction function was very user friendly and made our event easy to manage.

### "Givebutter is the best way to raise money"

November 30, 2018

5.0

My overall experience has been so positive from day one. I feel that the customer service is above and beyond excellent and I couldn't imagine having a better team to help me raise money.

Pros

Givebutter is the best way to raise money, hands down. Not only is the platform easy-to-use but it has many useful tools for fundraisers and their teams. It is easy for anyone to migrate their fundraising to this platform. Givebutter does a fantastic job at getting the community involved and having donors feel like they are connected with other interested donors. The social media platforms for sharing are seamless. I recommend Givebutter to everyone who I meet that fundraises.

Cons

Givebutter is working on integrations with Salesforce and we can't wait for this to happen!

May 19, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love everything about Givebutter. They do not charge unreasonable rates on donations, features like ticket purchasing are very convenient, and the staff is AMAZING and very receptive to feedback.

Cons

Absolutely nothing upsets me about Givebutter. They really are concerned with costumer satisfaction and try to work alongside nonprofits, rather than against them.

Pros

GiveButter's ease of use and straightforward format is what I like most about it. It's fundraising made simple as it should be.

### "Easy to use and manage fundraisers."

January 25, 2024

5.0

Overall, we were thrilled with Givebutter and will continue to use them as our fundraising software moving forward!

Pros

Givebutter was so easy to set up and manage our first big fundraising event and silent auction. We were able to set up, change and update information seamlessly. As a new non-profit having a system that is easy to work with for both our staff as well as donors is a huge plus. We would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to host an auction, event, or fundraiser.

Cons

I wish I could manage more features from the app on my phone. I found I needed to be on my computer to do most tasks.

Reason for choosing Givebutter

Givebutter was free of charge. All other options had a fee.

We used Givebutter for a silent auction, and it was seamless for people to bid virtually via automatic bidding increments or manually.

It does what it needs to do, and that's what matters, but I want to believe there's a better option out there.
