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.

October 29, 2025 5.0 Givebutter is AMAZING!!!! 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! Cons The process of recapturing my organization, as I was a knew \[sensitive content hidden\] not on the account. But it honestly wasn't hard. I just didn't like it.

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. Thanks again for sharing your kind words and for being part of the Givebutter family! JZ Joe Z. Fund Development Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product and super easy to use" June 16, 2025 5.0 I love GiveButter and I would to continue my use of this product with other types of campaigns and events. 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.

Review Source Response from Givebutter August 26, 2025 Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!  We’re thrilled to hear that Givebutter feels secure and easy to use for your nonprofit.

Thanks for being part of the Givebutter fam!  DW Dali W. 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! KMF Kevin M F. Marketing Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent East product with great results. " October 22, 2025 5.0 Excellent so far that we are returning customers. We have been in business for a year and continue to use Givebutter for our annual campaigns. Pros Ease of use. The simplicity of building a campaign and the manufactured QR Code to share is great. The ability to embed on our website makes it universal. Cons There is not a lot that I don’t like about this product. Front page graphics need an upgrade. Live Display needs to have more options for graphics and logo integration. Also the ability to display top donors with tickets as well as donations. Alternatives considered [Double the Donation](https://www.capterra.com/p/250318/360MatchPro/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Cleaner front page. Easier to use. Took Venmo. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 29, 2025 Thank you so much for sharing your feedback, Kevin! It’s wonderful to know you keep coming back! We genuinely put your feedback to heart. Our team is working hard to improve things like front page graphics, Live Display options, and donor display features. We really appreciate your thoughtful suggestions.

Office Manager Mental Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Happy to have made the switch!" January 30, 2025 5.0 Overall, our experience has been great! The platform has given us many more options as an organization to excel our fundraising. The team we worked with to get setup has been consistently friendly, courteous, quick to respond, and very helpful with answering our questions and fulfilling our needs. Pros The ease of use for both the organization and donor as well as the options for a "one stop shop." I love that we have options for campaigns from a simple form to a full event. The engagement tools are stellar as well! Cons Some limited options with sending receipts to donors and POS abilities. Alternatives considered [OneCause](https://www.capterra.com/p/145329/Fundraising-Software/) Reason for choosing Givebutter The cost was much more budget friendly with being a nonprofit. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Wow, thank you so much for this amazing feedback! We’re super happy to hear that Givebutter has made such a positive impact on your fundraising efforts! Your kind words about our support team really made our day.

Board Chair Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's fun to fundraise!" January 31, 2025 5.0 We have had a great time using the campaigns, auctions, and soon the Live Events. Pros They listen to their users and make changes. Cons We cannot wait for an integration with Quickbooks... without Zapier. Alternatives considered [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Reason for choosing Givebutter they help recoup the costs of processing, low startup costs Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re beyond grateful to hear that you’re enjoying it! Your feedback means the world to us, and we’re excited to continue improving the platform. Wishing you continued success with your nonprofit, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll accomplish! 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! 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. RH Ryan H. 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. We truly appreciate your feedback on the release of enhancements and the sandbox environment. Your insights are so valuable as we continue to improve. If you ever have any questions or need assistance testing different campaign scenarios, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@givebutter.com. Our team is always here to help! Thanks again for choosing Givebutter – we’re so glad to have you with us and excited for all the great things you’ll accomplish with our platform! MF Megan F. Project Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Best There Is!" October 1, 2024 5.0 Givebutter is simply the best platform for small nonprofits. I have worked in nonprofit organizations for years, ranging from millions, to hundreds, to thousands of donors. I have worked with 3 large, well known donor databases, and Givebutter still comes out on top. I started working for a small organization in 2023 that had absolutely no donor database of any kind. After much research on the biggest donor database platforms, I landed on Givebutter; not only is the platform FREE (yes, FREE), but it does absolutely everything my organization needs. Givebutter allowed me to completely change the way the nonprofit saw fundraising and allowed me to streamline the organization's events in no time. Thanks to Givebutter's platform, I was able to increase the overall funds raised at our signature fundraising event by 20%. As a team of one person, that is absolutely game changing! Pros What I like most about Givebutter is its unbelievably simple user experience. Learning all of Givebutter's incredible features was extremely easy, and they provide all of the resources you could possibly ever need. Should a resource ever not be available, their customer service is some of the best I have ever seen, with a human being able to answer my questions within minutes. Cons There are small features that Givebutter doesn't have that I have experienced on other platforms (e.g. Sponsor RSVP). However, Givebutter is still young; they are working to improve their platform every day, and any recommendations for features that I have are added to a forum where other users can vote for the feature if they believe it would be beneficial to them. Most features that would be most beneficial are already in the works to be implemented, and I know that any new features I recommend will be taken into full consideration.

I needed something simple that my board could understand. Also, the PRICE!! Those platforms would have cost my organization thousands of dollars just to do the same things I am doing via Givebutter for FREE. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 8, 2024 Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re so glad to hear that you find Givebutter user-friendly and appreciate our customer service.

February 5, 2025 5.0 Very positive, all the staff at Givebutter have been very upbeat and helpful. I love all the training sessions. Pros We have been able to be much more responsive and interactive with our donors through Givebutter! Cons Its been a bit difficult to merge our old systems contacts with Givebutter. Switched from [DonorSnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/97513/DonorSnap/) The ease of features and cost savings. We are now trying the paid version Review Source Response from Givebutter February 7, 2025 This made our day!

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.

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. DJ Devin J.

January 2, 2025 5.0 Great, it's been good and getting better since I've used it. It gets the job done, and is in a sweet spot where it has powerful features but is also simple enough to be easy to use. Pros The best parts about Givebutter are ease of use, the variety of features offered, constant updates to add better quality-of-life improvements to fundraisers, responsive support, low fees, basically every payment method you could want, and lots of software integration options. Cons These aren't all necessarily cons for our organization, but I think that givebutter is very well-suited to small teams and small-to-moderate fundraising campaigns(<$1M). If you're doing larger fundraisers you can use to supplement your activities, but its strength is more in handling online donations, auctions, etc., things with less specialized software requirements.

Office Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Office Manager" February 4, 2025 5.0 In summary, Givebutter is a robust and user-friendly platform suitable for nonprofits seeking an integrated solution for fundraising and donor management. While it may not offer all the advanced features of more complex systems, its ease of use, comprehensive support, and transparent pricing make it a valuable tool for many organizations. Pros Givebutter consolidates various fundraising tools into one platform, including donation forms, event ticketing, and donor management. This integration allows organizations to manage their fundraising activities efficiently. Cons Checkout when winning an item at auction needs to be more steamlined.

Would highly recommend. " January 31, 2025 5.0 So far, it's been great! Help is readily available, everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Pros Everything is in one place. Board management, donor management, event details, ticketing, auctions, thanks and communication. Cons There could be a little more flexibility with page design. For example, there isn't a place to list ticket options and different sponsorship levels clearly on the same page. It would also be nice to receive a discount or rebate based on the number of donors who cover their givebutter processing fees.

Missiion Advancement Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ACTS Missions" April 17, 2025 4.0 I do not have longevity with the software. Although, in the last month it has become easier to use and I am understanding it much better. Pros It is user friendly in some aspects, it is not very complicated, if you do have questions the Help button is very informative. The chat is excellent and questions get answered promptly. I also love that the chat is with a live agent. Cons I like to be able to search contacts with other key information, such as state or address. I am fairly new to the software, so there may be other avenues I am currently not aware of at this time. Review Source Response from Givebutter April 24, 2025 Thanks so much for sharing this! We're really happy to hear that you're finding Givebutter easier to use as you go! That's a great suggestion about being able to search contacts by state or address. I’ll be sure to pass that along to the team! And since you're still getting familiar with the platform, don’t hesitate to reach out anytime—we're always here to help you get the most out of it. Wishing you all the best! BS Brian S. Treasurer of the Board Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great platform- events and campaigns almost there" May 16, 2025 4.0 Very good, there are a few small Hiccups but overall a smooth and simple platform. 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!

February 2, 2025 5.0 Givebutter is an awesome platform for fundraising and events! It's super user-friendly and helps you raise funds in a fun and engaging way. Pros I really love how Givebutter makes fundraising feel super engaging and fun! The customizable pages and social sharing options are awesome for getting the word out. Plus, the community aspect is a big win. Cons Honestly, I think one of the things that can be a bit tricky with Givebutter is sometimes the fees can add up, depending on how you set things up. This as well as only being able to use including tags (instead of excluding some of the newsletter subscribers) when sending out emails. But overall, it’s still a great tool! Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your awesome review! We’re so happy to hear that you’re enjoying the fun and engaging aspects of Givebutter. We really appreciate your feedback on the fees and email tagging features. We totally understand how those can be tricky, and we’d love to explore options that could help with both!
