### "Easy to Use and Highly Effective Fundraising Platform"

October 17, 2023

5.0

Easy to use, easy to implement, and very effective at fundraising. This was a very helpful tool that has resulted in lots of funds being donated to our cause.

Pros

I really loved the live donation tracker display that is offered with the QR code and the text to donate features. This was very easy to set up and invaluable for our on-stage fundraising efforts.

Cons

I didn't like that I had to redo the theme of the live display each time I pulled it up, and that the colors I set wouldn't be saved.

Oh, that's a great suggestion on the Live Display! I'll make sure to pass that along to our design team. We're always working to improve Givebutter and feedback from changemakers like you is the most important part of that process.

### "Great Platform for Small Orgs"

November 20, 2023

4.0

Pros

Givebuttter is a great platform for organizations looking for a one-stop shop for auctions, events, and payment processing.

Cons

The platform can be a bit confusing when it comes to data management and reporting.

### "Givebutter is the best. "

February 24, 2021

5.0

Our virtual events are so much better with Givebutter!!

Pros

Givebutter has been been a game-changer for our virtual fundraising events. You can live stream, set up a campaign in minutes and the social proof feature makes it so fun to give. Their customer support is also excellent -- quick, friendly, and personable.

Cons

I do wish they integrated with the Kindful CRM but they integrate with other CRMs which is great. Fortunately, they made the data transfer process very easy.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review, Terrance! We love reading that your virtual events are "butter" with us. We do have an integration with Kindful logged as a feature request, and I'll subscribe you to updates!

### "Great for our non-profit at fund raising events"

October 17, 2023

4.0

For what we need it for, it really worked well enough for us to be pleased. The interface with the individual donors was a good experience for them primarily so thats a win :)

Pros

The fast processing speed and ability to pre-load attendees at an event.

Cons

Some of the features did not more back & forth easily within the App, had to start over again often when multiple givers were being input at a live event.

### "Great Product"

November 8, 2023

5.0

Pros

Give butter is really easy to use. The learning curve is small, and I could get to work almost immediately. It has enough features for what our business need. I particularly like how we track donations and how we can display it.

Cons

It would be great if there was other ways to do the payment in my opinion. Sometimes we received donations outside of Givebutter but it was still for the same event. It would be great if we could manually make that count in the overall amount fundraised.

November 14, 2023

Thanks so much for this feedback! If you'd like to track check or cash donations for an event, offline donations added will count towards the total amount raised on your public campaign. We're so glad you're part of the Givebutter fam!

### "Amazing Peer to Peer Fundraiser!"

January 22, 2024

5.0

My sales rep and success manager was so helpful. He was there to answer any questions and get me started, and he also followed up quickly after the event to see what else I needed. I absolutely love the Givebutter platform and will be a repeat customer for years!

Pros

Givebutter is so easy to use for peer to peer fundraising. Not only does the interface and layout lend themselves well to competition, but the ease of use on the backend is fantastic.

Cons

The only issue I've had with Givebutter is around the anonymous donor. When a donor chooses to be anonymous, we see that respected in the live feed, but if they donate to my team, I see their name with a note saying they want to be anonymous. I'd prefer that they remain anonymous across the board - including the email that gets sent to the team member when they get a donation. On the backend, of course, we'll need to see their information, but no one should see their name outside of the portal.

### "Great for Smaller Nonprofit Teams"

January 30, 2024

5.0

Pros

The UI for administrative teams is super easy to configure, especially with the Canva graphic integrations. It's also especially useful for a smaller team, as everything exists in one space, making the fundraising and donor management systems waaay more streamlined.

Cons

The limit on pre-specified donation amounts makes it difficult to fully explain how specific amounts directly help the organization and community.

Pros

The system was very user friendly and we were able to get all items submitted easily!

Cons

We had a hard time with the timing of closing our auction. I wish there was someone on the weekends to chat with. We were unable to talk about it at the time of the auction.

### "Great option for online giving!"

May 15, 2023

4.0

Overall, this has been a great resource for organizations that don't need a full CRM. The organizations that I have utilized this tool with are new and don't have a donor base yet. They will likely grow out of this tool in its (Givebutter) current iteration.

Pros

This is a great tool for an organization that needs online giving available for donors. It is easy to setup and deploy onto your website and through social media.

Cons

This isn't a full CRM. I prefer that my CRM and my online giving tools are integrated to reduce work for staff/volunteers.

### "Great Product"

May 16, 2023

5.0

Overall, Givebutter helped improve our process. It involved guests prior to the event with an auction preview, and made bidding easy. I would use it again.

Pros

We loved using GiveButter for our annual fundraising auction. It helped streamline our process and get additional people involved who were not present at the event.

Cons

Some features that are important to us were not available. We run silent and live auctions at different times during the event, so were not able to use GiveButter for both. Thus, people had to pay for their silent and live auction items separately: some on the app, some in person at the end of the event. Also, some users didn't feel comfortable paying through the app and wanted to give us a CC directly. I'd like an option to say list that a person has paid in another way.

### "Easy to use and naviate"

July 20, 2023

5.0

Pros

Extremely easy to use and set up. The phone app, website integrations, and online auctions are straightforward and intuitive.

Cons

Can not sell items other than an auction. For example, on the phone app, one can not sell raffle tickets at an event. The transaction would need to be a donation. This does not work since technically a donation and raffle ticket (sale of goods) are taxed differently in our location.
