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! 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. Alternatives considered [PayPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/)[Cash App](https://www.capterra.com/p/246167/Cash-App/)[Venmo](https://www.capterra.com/p/222572/Venmo-/) Reason for choosing Givebutter Givebutter can create one QR code that can be scanned to accept donations from ALL of the money-transfer apps. 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! Carrie T. Director of Fundraising and Engagement Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Like a pro!" January 30, 2025 4.0 Great customer support - very responsive and provide lots of tips & tricks. Love the trainings, love the user friendliness on the back-end and front (minus the set up!). Would love some more paid subscription 'levels' so that we could use the aspects we really need and not have to worry about the cost of Plus. Pros Easy to use fundraising platform - easily integrates widgets into our website for professional and clean looking user experiences. Simple-to-use email platform! Cons setting up the connection between Little Green Light & Givebutter via Zapier was not simple for someone who is not experienced in this to accomplish. I had help, but it required for me to find a volunteer who could navigate it for me to make it fully functional. There are still some communication glitches, and LGL doesn't communicate changes in constituents back to GB, which is frustrating. Alternatives considered [Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) Reason for choosing Givebutter GB has high ratings, was free, and looked professional. Plus the customer service was quick to respond and the additional support offered for making the jump was key. Switched from [Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) Mailchimp was frustrating to use and COSTLY! Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you for your awesome feedback! We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying Givebutter’s ease of use and the professional look it brings to your fundraising. We understand the challenge of setting up the Zapier connection—integrating third-party tools can sometimes be tricky. We also appreciate your feedback on the communication glitches with Little Green Light and will keep that in mind as we work to improve. Your kind words about our customer support and training mean a lot to us, and we’re always here to help! Thank you again for choosing Givebutter! 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. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and for trusting us to support your amazing work! AB Alison B. Director of Advancement Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Ease of Use" January 30, 2025 5.0 Our experience has been excellent especially since we are using the no-cost portion and now wish we had not purchased this other CRM system and just gone with give butter!! Pros This program is so user friendly, allows for our own creativity as we promote our events. It also seamlessly connects all the pieces of fundraising together which includes the communications, marketing, auctions, event creation, data collection etc. It also is superb at point of contact fundraising. We also use another system for CRM which is no where near as proficient at the nuts and bolts fundraising. Cons As I compare this against another company I can't say I dislike anything! Alternatives considered [Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT](https://www.capterra.com/p/247647/Blackbaud-Raiser-s-Edge-NXT/) Reason for choosing Givebutter We use NXT for CRM but were sold that it does waht giver butter does for events, communicaitons, etc and it does NOT! Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We’re so glad to hear you find Givebutter user-friendly and helping integrate all the elements of your fundraising efforts. We’re grateful for your trust and thrilled to hear about your positive experience! If you ever need help or have any questions as you continue to use Givebutter, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you every step of the way! HJ Hannah J. 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.

Donations specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Givebutter is great!" January 31, 2025 5.0 Pros Coming from Salesforce, Givebutter is powerful due to its simplicity. It can do everything we need it to do without making you feel like you need a data engineering degree and ten years of experience. Cons I'm not the biggest fan of how they've worded their solicitation messages for our donors. They ask donors to help take on the cost of running the platform, but they call it a "tip," which is distasteful and dishonest. If I were them, I would just be upfront and call it a fee. Tip suggests that a human helped serve them, and carries a bit of guilt with it. Switched from [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Not relevant, this survey is too long, I didn't know I was going to be asked to write a novel. It's a good product. Let me have my day back now. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your feedback! We're so glad to hear that Givebutter’s simplicity has been a game-changer for you. We totally hear you about the terminology around the "tip," and we really appreciate you sharing that insight—it’s feedback like this that helps us improve. Rest assured, we’re always working to make things as clear and user-friendly as possible. Thanks for being part of our family and for making the world a better place with your amazing work!

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.

Board Member Libraries Used the software for: 6-12 months ### ""Give Butter" helped us buy the Tool Library building and allowed me to give thanks," January 31, 2025 5.0 Please see my extensive initial entry above. Pros I organize donations for a local not-for-profit both as an individual fundraiser and a member of their Development Committee. Give Butter receives and tracks these donations so that I can see them immediately, responds with a standard "Thank You," and allows me to follow-up with a personal one as well. Our critical mission, our achievements, our grant-getting power, our social media presence, and "Give Butter" as recording platform enabled us to buy our building just this past year. Cons So far, flawless. I've totally appreciated using it. Switched from [Give Lively](https://www.capterra.com/p/177952/Give-Lively-full-fundraising-platform/) Smoother, more visible, better tracking, easier to say "thanks." Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Barbara, thank you so much for the amazing review! We're absolutely happy to hear that Givebutter has been such an essential part of your journey. We're beyond grateful to have you as part of the Givebutter family, and we can’t wait to continue supporting your incredible mission! Keep doing the amazing work you do. 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! JG Jillian G. Capital Campaign Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for every user!" January 31, 2025 5.0 Overall has been wonderful! We have used it multiples ways for our school and look forward to continue using it! Pros User friendly on the backend and guest friendly! Cons From the back office when I click on an event I want to see the transactions for that specific event instead of being taken to the event page or having to go see all transactions and filter that way. Alternatives considered [OneCause](https://www.capterra.com/p/145329/Fundraising-Software/) Reason for choosing Givebutter The free use was the main factor! Once we started it seemed to fit our needs more than we even realized! Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that Givebutter has been such a great fit for your school. We completely understand your feedback about viewing transactions for a specific event, and we’ll definitely take that into consideration for future updates. We’re thrilled you chose Givebutter for its free use, and we're so happy to hear it’s exceeding your expectations!

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!

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.

Multiple features in one Review Source Response from Givebutter June 18, 2025 Wow! Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed review, Nesta! 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. That’s super helpful feedback, and we’re actively exploring ways to improve. A required selection or note field is a great suggestion—thank you for sharing that! We’re honored to be part of your journey and can’t wait to keep cheering you on. Thanks again for being such an awesome part of the Givebutter community! SM Steven M. Executive Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and effective" May 13, 2025 5.0 Pros Very simple and effective to set up campaigns, embed in our website, collect funds, report on contributions, transfer to bank accounts. Makes donors and staff feel the process is safe, accurate, and productive. Cons It would be helpful to have a regular notification (e.g., weekly) of available balance to transfer. If automatic withdrawals are not turned on, a lot of contributed funds could accrue with Givebutter. Review Source Response from Givebutter May 15, 2025 This is a lovely review, Steven! Really appreciate you pointing out the idea of a regular balance notification too—that’s such a helpful suggestion! I’ll definitely pass that along to our team as we keep working to make things even better. So happy to have you here with us—don’t hesitate to reach out anytime! 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. Review Source Response from Givebutter January 14, 2025 Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that Givebutter has been a great fit for your team. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we’re happy that Givebutter has helped with your fundraising efforts! We also appreciate your thoughts about scaling for larger fundraisers. As we continue to grow and evolve, we’re always striving to improve and expand our platform to better meet the needs of organizations of all sizes. Our team would love to discuss further and learn more about how we can better support you. We might be able to find alternatives to better suit your larger campaigns.

So far everything GB has to offer is making it go very smoothly. Pros I love all the options. I can do everything I need in one place. I was able to get on a webinar for training as well!! Cons I think the tip set already to 15% is confusing for some people when they check out. Especially elderly people. Review Source Response from Givebutter November 26, 2025 Oh Staci, this is such wonderful feedback, thank you for sharing! I’m so happy to hear that everything has been going smoothly with your gala and auction, and that the webinars have been helpful for training. I really appreciate your note about the tip being confusing for some donors. I also wanted to let you know that organisations have flexibility with this. You can absolutely turn off tips if needed. Your feedback is super helpful, and I’ll be sure to share it with our team so we can continue improving the experience for everyone.

Their rates for processing online donations are also good. Cons CRM functions are new, importing donor records still needs a lot of improvement. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 4, 2025 Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you’re enjoying our free forms and processing rates! We completely understand your thoughts on the import functions, and we truly appreciate your patience as we continue to fine-tune the importing process.
