The ability to customize everything from colors, logos, links, QR codes, etc has been second to none! Pros I was very impressed with the ease of setting up an account and getting the system up and running without needing a third party or having to go through a sales rep. I have also loved the integration with many applications I use. I did not find myself having to duplicate services. Cons The biggest issue I had was importing all of our contact from our current CRM. I found a lot of the info did not transfer over to Givebutter. Switched from [Daxko Operations](https://www.capterra.com/p/268006/Daxko-Operations/) Daxko does not allow ANY customization nor do they offer any peer-to-peer campaigning. Review Source Response from Givebutter July 12, 2025 Wow, thank you so much for this amazing feedback, Aaron! We’re so happy to hear how things have been going for you on Givebutter. We really appreciate you flagging the issue with importing your contacts, that’s super helpful feedback. If you’re open to it, we’d love to take a closer look and help figure out why the info didn’t transfer over. Just send us a message via chat or email us at support@givebutter.com. It truly means a lot that you chose Givebutter, we’re so grateful to be part of your journey. Thanks again, we’re lucky to have you in the Givebutter fam! VM Veronica M. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend!" October 30, 2025 5.0 I could not recommend Givebutter anymore than I do. The platform is easy to use and the customer service is top notch. We always receive quick help when needed and love that we can access our fundraisers so easily. Makes our work as a non-profit so much easier! Pros Love how easy the platform is to navigate for a variety of different fundraisers- from auctions to annual campaigns, to events. This platform has aided us in running many successful fundraisers while being able to keep track of donors, funds coming in and tickets sold. Cons So far, each improvement made has made the platform more and more useable. Only thing that maybe helpful is to have a check cut and mailed but so far we have been happy. Switched from [Cheddar Up](https://www.capterra.com/p/276323/Cheddar-Up/) Givebutter was much easier for us to navigate, had more features we could utilize and was able to customize our fundraisers easier. Review Source Response from Givebutter November 9, 2025 Aw, such beautiful feedback, Veronica! We’re thrilled to hear that it has made running your fundraisers easier and that you love how simple it is to navigate for auctions, events, and annual campaigns. It really warms our hearts to know that our platform and support team have helped your team. Your kind words and support mean the world to us, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of the community! Wishing you all the best, and our team is always here if you need anything at all.

Jury is still out as a CRM system" February 1, 2025 3.0 If Givebutter+ could come closer to LGL's monthly pricing offers we'd switch in a heartbeat. Pros We currently use LGL but the archaic donation forms and lack of integrations with prettier/more intuitive donation form companies made us consider a different CRM. Givebutter is truly the only product on the market offering the recurring donation upsell feature for free, along with so many different payment options at point of sale/donation (credit cards, debit cards, venmo, paypal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, DAFpay), etc. It's worth noting that it also natively integrates with Double the Donation, Donor Search, and Point--and more! Cons We think GiveButter+ is cost(given that it's mainly nonprofits with small budgets that leverage this company) so -1 star for that. A work around is using Monday.com's donor dashboard template as a replacement CRM.... however, despite the native integration, GB transactions are not automatically importing to Monday.com so another -1 star for that. Alternatives considered [Action Network](https://www.capterra.com/p/235419/Action-Network/)[Bonterra EveryAction](https://www.capterra.com/p/142421/Bonterra-Development-Digital/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Host of features at free level and native integrations were compelling sell Switched from [CiviCRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/79192/CiviCRM/)[Little Green Light](https://www.capterra.com/p/123954/Little-Green-Light/) CiviCRM open source system was cumbersome to navigate. LGL donation forms weren't attractive Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback, Delani! We truly appreciate your insights about Givebutter Plus. I completely understand how you’re feeling, and I want to thank you for your ongoing support. I know adapting to changes can be tough, but Givebutter Plus helps us continue to offer and improve our features. Regarding the Monday.com integration, we really appreciate you bringing that to our attention. If you're still facing challenges with transactions not automatically importing, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@givebutter.com. We’d be happy to take a closer look at the situation and see how we can help. Thanks again for choosing Givebutter, and we’re excited to continue supporting your nonprofit’s success! JS Jenni S. Lead Project Forester Renewables & Environment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Givebutter is the best!" October 8, 2025 5.0 It's been incredible - wish we would have switched sooner! We are a small but mighty non-profit and Givebutter truly adds to our capacity by integrating so well with our other existing systems - saves us countless hours. I've worked with a lot of different software/fundraising systems/CRMs over the last 20 years at nonprofits and most of them do about 75% of what Givebutter does. Never seem to be able to get the best features from one system and end up settling for a system that offers 'most' key features with some downsides after taking a lot of time to compare their features & pricing. With Givebutter I don't feel like I'm settling because they offer 100%+ the features I'm looking for in one system for a great value. Pros Everything! It's the best! Cannot beat the value and their customer success and support team members are quick to respond, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful - whether using the Live Chat, email or by phone call - they are easy to connect with at any time and get a response. The free templates are excellent time savers and cover a wide range of topics - everything we need and more! It was extremely easy to switch over to the Givebutter platform and we had everything setup to launch a new campaign and begin collecting donations within an hour! Everything runs seamlessly now and managing donor payouts, transactions, ticket sales, etc is very streamlined within the Givebutter dashboard - very user friendly for our team (even our 'not tech savvy' team members are using it with ease). Cons Nothing! Setting up the campaigns to deliver from our domain email address vs a Givebutter domain email address was new to us and we got a little turned around in the process - but this was 100% user error and our Givebutter Success Manager hopped on a call and screen shared/walked us through the process and then verified it was setup correctly before exiting the call.

Switched from [Flipcause](https://www.capterra.com/p/136488/Flipcause/) Flipcause customer support is not responsive and they do not integrate well with our existing systems causing a lot of duplication. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 14, 2025 Wow, this absolutely made our day! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We’re sooo happy to hear that your switch to Givebutter was smooth and that things are running seamlessly for your team.  It means a lot to know that our tools and templates are helping save time and simplify your work so you can focus more on your mission.

I feel like each person working with me actually KNOWS me and wants to help with anything I need - even if it's not something they currently offer. This alone is worth our subscription! (We have Givebutter+) Pros The Customer Service and Support is AMAZING!! Also, I love that the team is receptive to feedback and are working to match up their roadmap for the future with the needs of their customers. Cons We are just learning the system - and so there are times that we can't find the features that we "know" are there. As we learn this system, I know that will get better.

I've run multiple campaigns and events on it, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Pros It's free! Givebutter is amazing because it's free, it makes us money, it's easy to use and the help tutorials are great!

Switched from [Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/) Givebutter is easier and free, and it has better tutorials Review Source Response from Givebutter October 31, 2025 Aww, thanks so much for the love, Elisabeth! We’re so happy to hear that you’ve had such a great experience running your campaigns on Givebutter! We totally get that the re-verification process can be a little tedious, but we’re glad it all worked out smoothly in the end.

Pros I like that it gives little hints on how to better use the system. It's super smart and thinks of things for us. Cons When we signed up, I was a little sad that texting function was no longer available on the free version.

Review Source Response from Givebutter June 18, 2025 Thanks so much for the kind words, Joe! We're happy you love the smart tips and ease of use! We understand your thoughts on the texting feature. It was a tough call to make, but we’re always working to improve and find ways to bring more value to all users, no matter the plan. It means a lot that you chose Givebutter again and see it as a superior product. We’re lucky to have you in the community, and we can’t wait to see what you create next! MB Mike B. Staff Accountant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Givebutter gives us all that we need as a nonprofit " August 22, 2025 5.0 This is the ideal platform for fundraising, especially to build pages/QR codes to promote events. One QR code can be used to take donations from any money transfer app, which is great! Pros it appears to be secure, and the platform is simple, straightforward, and able to do all the functions we are looking for as a non-profit... even on the free version! Cons If anything, I suppose the support for the platform has a lot of reliance on AI. I have not had a need to get in touch with a human csa, but if I did, it would be a new experience.

Creative Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love Give Butter" October 19, 2025 4.0 Love GiveButter, especially the peer fundraising and social media comments. So beneficial for a grassroots org like ours. Pros Setting up our events was a very seamless process, with a great interface. And excellent customer service. We were getting onboarding emails before I could even start setting up the event page. So helpful! Cons I do wish we could have setup multi-day events, instead of having to setup each day as 3 different campaigns. Also, given our fundraising event is ticket based? I think having to add names of everyone in the party was too much for some (potential) attendees. Switched from [Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/) Give butter seems more geared towards non profits. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 29, 2025 Dali, thank you so much for this lovely feedback! We’re so glad to hear the setup process was smooth and that our team was able to support you right from the start. It’s awesome to know the peer fundraising and social sharing features are helpful for your grassroots work. We really appreciate your thoughts about multi-day events. That’s actually a feature request our team is working on, and we’re really hoping to have it released soon! Your feedback helps us prioritize what matters most to event organizers like you. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for all the amazing work you’re doing in your community! GH Gwenna H. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Value" October 26, 2025 5.0 I’ve tried other donation platforms and they were very expensive and not as responsive as Givebutter. Givebutter responds very quickly and had a great value. Pros The value for your money is the best in the industry. I’ve recommended Givebutter to other people that are getting started in the non profit industry. Cons Not being eligible for certain benefits as a fiscally sponsored organization. I wish some of these decisions would be reconsidered. Switched from [Bonterra Network for Good](https://www.capterra.com/p/111128/Bonterra-Guided-Fundraising/) They were very expensive. It was my first platform and I thought this was normal. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 29, 2025 Thank you so much for the love, Gwenna! It means a lot that you’ve even recommended us to others just starting out in the nonprofit world. We really appreciate your feedback about eligibility for certain benefits as a fiscally sponsored organization. We’ll keep this in mind as we continue to improve and advocate for ways to support all nonprofits. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and for all the amazing work you’re doing in your community! MW MH W. Executive Director Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Plus One Executive Director" January 31, 2025 5.0 MANY MANY more positives than negatives. Pros How easy it is to use. The ability to share data with the Board at monthly meetings through the reports generated from the site. Cons Data entry when trying to add churches. I have to break their name into "First" and "Last" names. Also wish I could add a husband's first name and woman's first name. Switched from [CoolFocus](https://www.capterra.com/p/96532/CoolFocus/) Waycool became to costly for what we were using. It had a component we did not use and could not reduce cost for not using that portion. Review Source KR Kelsey R. Development Support Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Thank you, Givebutter! " February 14, 2025 5.0 Pros Ease of us, customer support, unlimited contacts Cons Wish there were stronger reporting features for free users! Specifically re: households and being able to pull "last donation" field more easily Alternatives considered [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Price point and unlimited contacts structure Switched from [Flipcause](https://www.capterra.com/p/136488/Flipcause/)[Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/)[Salesforce Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/268338/App-Cloud/) Unlimited contact feature, ease of use, price point, customer service Review Source Response from Givebutter February 22, 2025 Aw!

We really appreciate your feedback, as it helps us grow! We're hoping to improve reporting in our core features in the future. Thanks for choosing Givebutter! CD Carlos D. Founder, President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Ultimate Fundraising Platform: Why Givebutter Stands Out" October 1, 2024 5.0 Givebutter has revolutionized our approach to fundraising with its user-friendly and versatile platform, allowing us to launch campaigns quickly and efficiently. The exceptional suite of tools for peer-to-peer fundraising and donation tracking, coupled with outstanding customer support, has truly elevated our fundraising efforts. Givebutter's training classes are always a blast to be apart of. Pros I appreciate the user-friendly interface, versatile fundraising options, exceptional customer support, and flexible platforms options. These features make it a standout platform for your fundraising needs! Cons While Givebutter has been an exceptional platform for us, I am always excited to receive email on current and future enhancements. The platform is continually evolving, and I look forward to seeing how it grows to meet even more fundraising needs. Alternatives considered [GiveWP](https://www.capterra.com/p/10007439/GiveWP/) Reason for choosing Givebutter I was intrigued by the program benefits and offerings. Switched from [Zeffy](https://www.capterra.com/p/220131/Zeffy/) Lack of transparency and poor customer service. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 8, 2024 Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re constantly working on enhancements and always eager to hear feedback from our users like you, as it helps us grow and better meet your fundraising needs. We're excited to continue supporting your fundraising efforts and look forward to seeing how Givebutter can help you achieve even greater success in the future. SL Sarah L. Program and Process Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Givebutter is the way to go!" October 3, 2024 5.0 10/10 for experience! The personalized customer experience with Givebutter is unmatched. We felt so supported during our onboarding and first campaign with Givebutter, and we were also so impressed with the Knowledge Base that Givebutter has built. While the system itself is so easy to use, our organization had a few really specific wants/questions - if we couldn't find an answer right in the platform and in the features, the answer was almost ALWAYS in the knowledge base (which again, we were very impressed by - our needs were so particular!). In the off chance that we couldn't find the answer on our own, the Givebutter team was just a quick email away. The user end experience was also fantastic for our donors. Giving was made very clear and simple, and donors could get all of their campaign related questions answered right there on our campaign page. I'd also like to highly praise the product roadmap that Givebutter has made available to customers. This was one of our main "selling" points when it came to switching giving platforms. Givebutter gives their customers a \[significant\] voice when it comes to product development and features, and they give customers direct visibility into their plans and roadmap. Gone are the days of the "thanks for your feedback, we'll let our product team know" black holes! Major props to Givebutter for creating not only a great product, but also a great experience. Pros I love how straightforward and easy to use the platform is! Nothing is particularly difficult to find/figure out, and while you can customize just about anything, there isn't SO much detail that it becomes overwhelming. It's both incredibly simple AND customizable, which is a feat to accomplish! Well done, Givebutter. Cons I would've liked more options for formatting our campaign pages (inability to center text & place two graphics side-by-side wasn't ideal), and more options for designing Peer to Peer pages. Switched from [GoFundMe Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/127258/GoFundMe-Pro/) Classy planned to raise our fees (relatively significantly), and we thought the product was already somewhat sub-par; the design elements were not intuitive, and setting up the campaign (ESPECIALLY the emails) was a very cumbersome process. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 16, 2024 Wow, what an incredible review! We're so happy to hear that Givebutter has been such a positive experience for you. Your feedback about the formatting options is valuable, and we'll definitely take it into consideration for future updates. Our goal is to provide exceptional support throughout your fundraising journey. Thank you for choosing Givebutter and for sharing your feedback. We're excited to continue supporting your organization and helping you achieve your fundraising goals. CD Carmen D. Co-President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Perfect Tech for a Mid-Sized, School Organization" January 7, 2025 5.0 We are incredibly happy we made the switch to Givebutter, and we have recommended it to other organizations. Pros Givebutter is easy to use and the perfect amount of technology for our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). We are all volunteer run, but we still raise quite a lot via many different methods (peer to peer, giving page, auction). Givebutter's technology meets those needs, and it is easy to use as an administrator as well as a donor. The business model also is amazing for our organization. Cons Nothing so far! It has been easy to use and we are very happy with it. Alternatives considered [GiveSmart](https://www.capterra.com/p/130794/GiveSmart/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Better business model for the same features if not more. Switched from [Panorama](https://www.capterra.com/p/166550/Panorama/) The other products were hard to use, terrible UI on both sides, and expensive. Review Source Response from Givebutter January 14, 2025 Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We love supporting organizations like yours, especially when you’re all volunteer-run—you're doing amazing work! Your feedback means the world to us, and we’re so glad that the business model is working well for your team! Thanks for choosing Givebutter! NN Nicole N. Director Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Thanks for helping out \[sensitive content hidden\] Channel Swim go Swimmingly!" December 1, 2024 5.0 Givebutter was simple on the backend and allowed us to have as painless of an experience fundraising as possible. I liked the ease of being able to just input our tax information and we are ready to go, presto! It was cool to see all the comments coming in as we raised money. Pros We chose givebutter for several reasons but one of my favorite things is that we could see how much each team member was achieving with donations. Since we were two relay teams, the competition was fierce and givebutter helped us stay motivated and interested in fundraising! Cons Who likes fees? I also wish it were easier to integrate with other social media, like Instagram and Facebook. We just used a link but if there was a button or something that made it "intuitive" to share, that would be great! Without that kind of integration, it makes it hard for the campaign to spread like wildfire. Alternatives considered [GoFundMe](https://www.capterra.com/p/158457/CrowdRise/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Reputation & I had my accountant friend look it over and he thought everything was clean. Review Source Response from Givebutter December 18, 2024 Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We greatly appreciate your feedback, especially regarding social media integration. We're actively working on improvements in that area and have a feature request for it on our board. We understand the fees can be a concern, and we may have some options to help. Please contact us at support@givebutter.com; we'd be happy to explore those with you. We can't wait to continue supporting you and your excellent team with future campaigns.

Board of Directors Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Intuitive and powerful" February 2, 2025 5.0 Since day one, it’s been an easy transition from other over-engineered and complex platforms. Pros Simple and logical user interface, creative and enthusiastic support and development teams, and a very transparent roadmap of community-driven enhancements. Cons Complaints are rare! If anything I’d have to say that they don’t release enhancements regularly enough (though I’ve only been using the platform for 4 months). And sometimes testing different campaign scenarios can be challenging because there isn’t a “sandbox” environment that mimics donations, credit card transactions and auctions. Switched from [GoFundMe Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/127258/GoFundMe-Pro/) Not comprehensive and way too expensive (transaction fees), especially for small non-profit Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve found Givebutter’s user interface to be intuitive and that our support and development teams have made a positive impression.

Artistic and Executive Director Performing Arts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great platform, but with some minor rough edges." September 13, 2024 4.0 Wonderful. Despite the small bumps and lack of total functionality, I really appreciate the opportunity it gives to small organizations with extremely limited budgets. Pros I like that there isn't an annual fee, allowing our small nonprofit the ability to grow. Cons Givebutter is a bit clunky when it comes to its functionality. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful service for small organizations like ours, but there are some elements that don't always work smoothly. Additionally, there are some features I would love to have that GB doesn't offer, like grant management and a true ticketing platform with reserved seating and bulk ticket purchasing discounts. It that vein, it would be great if there was some thought put into how the platform works for performing arts organizations.

Executive director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### ""A Game-Changer for Nonprofit Fundraisi" June 13, 2025 5.0 Our overall experience was outstanding. Givebutter helped us streamline our fundraising process and visualize our impact in real-time. It contributed to one of our most successful fundraising years ever, and we’re now integrating it into all our income streams moving forward. It’s more than a tool—it’s a game-changer for nonprofit fundraising. Pros The event display options were our favorite feature. The platform made it easy to engage our audience and donors in a visually compelling way, which helped generate real excitement around our goals. It truly centralized our systems and made fundraising more effective and less time-consuming. Cons While the overall platform was fantastic, our biggest challenge was directing traffic clearly to team members so they could be credited for their efforts. It wasn’t always intuitive for donors to select a team member when giving. We experimented with rewording and even changed the donate button text to “Send Money Here,” but clearer options or customizable settings would have helped. A setting that requires donors to choose a team or individual before proceeding—and perhaps even leave a mandatory note—would make it easier to track individual efforts and ensure fair credit.

We're so happy to hear that it helped with your fundraising efforts. We definitely hear you on the challenge of directing traffic to the right team members.

Interim Database Administrator Newspapers Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Givebutter (Free version)" February 21, 2025 4.0 Givebutter has been great as a free option, good to enough to the point where we were able to replace a paid version of another software with it. It lacks a lot of fine-tuning options for exports and can be slow on some fronts, but it works great for managing donations as a primary tool. The built-in duplicate management tools are not very effective, requiring a lot of manual merging. Still, it is rare to find anything as effective and easy to pick up as this in the realm of free SaaS products, and I imagine the paid version with reporting makes spotting duplicates easier within the service. Pros For a free product, this is an effective payments handler and an impressive database software for small nonprofits. The included import wizard makes managing data over time easy enough for one database admin, and the email integration with Canva is great for nonprofit staff in general. Cons Duplicate management is not good at spotting the same contributor between donations, as it does not check secondary data for possible duplicates. Segments (at least in the free version) has some issues with exports. For example, organizing data there with the intention of then downloading a csv still leads to a full list of contacts or transactions rather than a pared-down export. The UI can also be a bit odd, with buttons hard to locate, and the tax summaries take quite a while to generate even for a relatively small number. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 27, 2025 Thank you so much for sharing, Joe! We're thrilled to hear that Givebutter has been a great free option for your nonprofit and that you're finding it effective for managing donations. Your insights are incredibly helpful as we continue to improve the platform. Your support means the world to us, and we're so grateful to have you as part of the Givebutter family. CS Cheryl S. CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Givebutter Success! " October 19, 2025 5.0 I have never had a problem or issue with transferring the funds to my bank account. I have to find the time to watch the tutorials to get the most out of what Given has to offer. Pros It is fairly easy to manage for someone like me who knows very little about navigating websites, CRMs, donation platforms, etc. Cons I cannot figure out how to make my donation page without a donation/monetary goal. I also want to learn how to send emails to former diners to donate again. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 29, 2025 Cheryl, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear that managing the platform has been fairly easy for you and that transferring funds has been smooth.

Mission Advancement and Events Manager Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ACTS Mission Mission Advancement " April 17, 2025 4.0 So far, so good but i would really like to see more of a 1-1 person interface! learning from modules isn't conducive to learning as good as it is from a one-to-one session. Pros Seems to be user friendly for the most part. but I still have questions on some of the entries. It hard not being able to have someone guide you through personally through confusing entries. Cons That in-person training isn't available. It seems so impersonable to0 have questions answered through a Chatbox. Switched from [DonorView](https://www.capterra.com/p/162375/DonorView/) Too expensive and not very user friendly.

Owner Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy Set Up" October 26, 2025 4.0 Great! As said before it was an easy set up and I love that you can make the donation page simple or elaborate. Pros The set up was extremely easy. I had the opportunity to make the site extremely elaborate if I wanted, but I was in a pinch and needed to put the page up quickly and was able to do that with a clean simple page. Cons I have been told by people who want to donate that it is a little lengthy to get a donation in. Some said that they wanted to just simply click a button to donate from a card on their phone, but unfortunately that couldn't happen. I haven't followed up on it though so I don't know how complicated it actually is on their end Review Source Response from Givebutter October 29, 2025 Such lovely feedback, Steven! We’re so happy to hear that setting up your page was quick and easy, and that you loved having the option to make it as simple or elaborate as you needed. We really appreciate your note about the donation flow. That’s super helpful feedback, and we’ll keep it in mind as we work on making donating on mobile even faster and easier.

Cons Little flexibility with campaigns. Have to create multiple campaigns rather one.

Pros I like the ease of donations and the ability to ask the donor to cover the fees. Cons I think that the campaign and event set up could be simplified. Many organizations collect general donations perpetually. They also host periodic events that may or may not require a ticketed entry. It’s hard for family members to know whether to donate to an individual donor link VS an event that they won’t attend. Review Source Response from Givebutter May 24, 2025 Thanks so much for sharing this thoughtful review! We're glad to hear the donation process has been smooth for you. And you make a great point about the campaign and event setup — simplifying things for families and supporters is such valuable feedback. We’ll definitely pass it along to the team!
