Project manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product" May 24, 2026 5.0 It is a great product for those in the non-profit arena. Giving you the ability to take in donation and offerings from all over the world as well a send text messages. Pros I love the ability to be able to text everyone or specific groups of people. Also the fact that it could be scheduled was a plus. Cons The templates. I wasn't able to use them the way I wanted to. Often times the words had to be spaced out all over again. Review Source Response from Givebutter June 3, 2026 Thank you for sharing your experience, Esi! Making it easy to connect with supporters and donors is something we care deeply about. We also appreciate your feedback about the templates. We understand how frustrating it can be when formatting doesn't behave as expected, and we'll be sure to share this with our team as we continue improving the experience. Thank you for being part of the Givebutter community and for supporting your organization through our platform. We wish you continued success with your fundraising efforts! HB Heidi B. Social Media Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for the Newbie" September 17, 2025 5.0 Bring new to the non-profit world it has been easy to learn how to grow a CRM, run campaign pages, and utilize their email system. Pros GiveButter is easy to use. I have attended many of their seminars and they are very helpful with getting started. Also, when I am stuck they are quick to respond. Cons For their Campaign Pages I wish there was a little bit more flexibility on how it looks. Also, when I load photos to my page I have have to resize before they can be uploaded. Sometimes the Canva and GiveButter connection is glitchy. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 1, 2025 Thank you so much for your kind words, Heidi!  We’re so glad that it has been easy to use and that our team has been helpful to you. We also really appreciate your feedback; it helps us keep improving. Wishing you all the best as you grow your nonprofit journey! 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! 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.

Owner Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An ally for your fundraising" July 24, 2025 5.0 I have a small business that also does advocacy work. I needed a trustworthy fundraiser platform that wouldn't charge me outrageous fees or for a subscription. My campaign page was easy to create, share, and link to my websites. Pros It's so easy to start and manage a campaign! It's straightforward, but also has lots of features to help share your cause. The fees are extremely fair, and there aren't any minimums before they'll release the funds. Payouts are fast, and the pages look professional. Cons I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this platform! My experience with givebutter has been nothing but good. Review Source Response from Givebutter August 3, 2025 This absolutely made our day, thank you! 💛 It means the world to us to know the platform is working well for your small business, and we love that you’ve had a smooth experience with us. Thanks again for being part of the Givebutter fam! 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! 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! 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! SY Steven Y. 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. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for all the amazing work you’re doing! SF Staci F. Owner and CEO Child Day Care Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Givebutter excells for the community " October 29, 2025 5.0 Excellent! This is my 1st gala and 2nd auction. 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. Thanks again for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. It’s so encouraging to hear how the platform is supporting your events! 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 JE Jeremy E. Development Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fabulous time at Givebutter " May 13, 2025 5.0 Excellent. Over all a great experience. I love the change from our previous CRM. Pros Very user friendly. I love the wase of the interface and the use of customer support. Cons Amount of contact emails, but not a terrible thing. Over all a great experience. Alternatives considered [Bloomerang](https://www.capterra.com/p/131207/Bloomerang/) Reason for choosing Givebutter We were referred by another nonprofit who was happy with their experience.

We’ll definitely keep that in mind as we work to make things even better. DA Diana A. 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. Review Source Response from Givebutter April 24, 2025 Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! We’re really glad to hear you’re finding Givebutter mostly user-friendly so far. And we totally get where you’re coming from—sometimes there’s nothing like having a real person walk you through things. Our chat team is here for you 24/7! If you ever need a hand, just type “talk to a person,” and one of us will jump in to help directly. Your feedback truly means a lot. Wishing you all the best with your wonderful work! BC Briana C. Project Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The ONLY choice for non-profit fundraising!" May 21, 2025 5.0 The Givebutter platform is a cut above the rest! The ease of use, eye catching marketing & minimal fees make this fundraising tool a win-win for our organization! Pros The ease of use, eye catching marketing & minimal platform fees make GiveButter the only choice for non-profit fundraising! Cons The inability to add a button to our website that directly linked to just the Auction portion of our campaign. Switched from [Auction Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/136964/Auction-Software/) Auction ohio was expensive for the user and the buyers premium just kept increasing. No website integration and not mobile friendly. Review Source Response from Givebutter May 24, 2025 Thank you so much for the love! It truly means a lot to us! Your kind words about our ease of use, eye-catching design, and lower fees made our day. And thank you for the feedback on linking directly to the auction — that’s super helpful and we’ll be sure to share it with our team. We’re so grateful to be part of your fundraising journey!

President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great free resource" September 7, 2025 5.0 We have enjoyed using Givebutter for our events and hope to be able to use it in more of its intended use or that they updateit to better suit our needs Pros I enjoy that it is free. This gives us the flexibility to put our limited finances towards other things. Cons Unfortunately, the current features that Givebutter has does not quite fit. We have to use it in unconventional ways. Review Source Response from Givebutter September 11, 2025 Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Tony! We’re glad it has helped free up your budget for other things. We’d love to hear more about how we can improve, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@givebutter.com. We’re excited to have you with us again in the future!  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!

March 10, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Give butter was AMAZING!! I came from Network for Good and Give butter is hands down a better platform. Pros I love the workflow process that allows you to schedule tasks ahead of time. These tasks are everything from emails to phone calls based on certain triggers that you preset. Makes communication and donor cultivation a breeze!! Cons The data hygiene process was somewhat tricky in the beginning however it did become better as time and understanding went by!! Switched from [Bonterra Network for Good](https://www.capterra.com/p/111128/Bonterra-Guided-Fundraising/) Givebutter had more of the options I was looking for in a CRM. Review Source Response from Givebutter March 13, 2025 Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. We're happy to hear that it has made donor communication easier for you! We know that getting used to a new system can take time, so we truly appreciate your patience with the data process. Just a reminder: our support team is available 24/7 if you ever need a hand. Wishing you all the best in your fundraising—keep up the fantastic work! JY Joe Y. 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. MK Micah K. Executive Director International Affairs Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great set of tools and a sincere team ready to support your organization" February 4, 2025 5.0 Every single member of the Givebutter team, from initial consultation, to training, onboarding, implementation, optimization, and support, has genuinely cared about our organization's success. The company and team share a fun company culture, and they believe in their mission to help nonprofits and "change makers" find success with their supporters and campaigns. I must admit, after coming from a CRM that charged us several thousands of dollars per year, I sleep better knowing our small nonprofit won't be gated away from our CRM, our supporters, or ability to communicate with them. Givebutter's "free forever" tier remains remarkable, and the extra features and tools enabled via their optional Givebutter Plus upgrade are compelling and reasonable. Even with Givebutter Plus, there are no contracts to worry about. Pros Givebutter's comprehensive tools have been easy to learn and fun to use. Our onboarding team, further supported by the free Givebutter Academy course and live Bootcamp webinars, really helped set us up for success. The Givebutter team and business model have been genuine, sincere, and transparent. I personally believe they understand how our organizations' success is their shared success, so they work hard to make sure we're in a good place with the platform and its features. Within a couple of months, we migrated decades of contacts and transactions and utilized most major features beyond the core CRM, including physical mailings, hosted fundraiser pages, embedded donation, ticketing, and newsletter signup widgets for our website, email newsletters, ticketed events, and more. It's also great to be able to customize whether or not we want to absorb a fair percentage fee or ask supporters to optionally "tip" Givebutter on a per-campaign basis. We appreciate being able to have that option. Cons If you're coming from a huge, sprawling CRM that can accommodate every scenario for a massive, complex organization, and you actually \*use\* all those features, you may find some (likely temporary!) limitations with Givebutter's CRM features. That said, the team is regularly and transparently updating and improving the tools based on user feedback. Whenever we check in with our onboarding, implementation, and success teams to seek feedback or optimize a campaign, they're kind to proactively "vote up" our various feature requests on their public product roadmap. Sometimes, perhaps coincidentally, these are implemented within a matter of days, so that's always nice!

Givebutter had every tool and feature we needed in a modern suite that allowed us to use our branding, custom domains, and much more. Their business model and pricing are refreshingly transparent, and we appreciate having the option to upgrade for specific premium features while not being gated away from the essential features. The combination of no contracts, no fees, a terrific "free forever" set of tools, and the ability to customize our pricing/payment model on a per-campaign basis was great for our needs. Switched from [Blackbaud eTapestry](https://www.capterra.com/p/29170/eTapestry/) Blackbaud was prohibitively expensive, too complex for our relatively simple needs, and lacked the modern features and UI we wanted.

February 5, 2025 5.0 So far, our experience with Givebutter has been great! Whenever we've had questions or needed help, the Givebutter team has been very supportive and ready to help. Pros I love the "all-in-one" features of Givebutter. From email campaigns to digital events to in person events, ticket selling, and live auctions - Givebutter really has everything we need to successfully fundraise. Cons There are some small features that could be more intuitive. I would like it to be easier to bulk archive contacts when they have unsubscribed or an email has bounced. Alternatives considered [Donorbox](https://www.capterra.com/p/156860/Donorbox/) Reason for choosing Givebutter I tested both of the free versions of these products for several months. When Givebutter launched their Givebutter plus program, it really sold it for me. The cost is so much more afforadable and we have so many great tools all in one platform. Switched from [Constant Contact](https://www.capterra.com/p/31898/Constant-Contact/)[FrontStream](https://www.capterra.com/p/166550/Panorama/) Extremely high expenses, high fees, and we were using multiple platforms. It was hard to keep track of everything. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 7, 2025 Wow, thank you so much for your kind words!

Director of Development Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Givebutter is helping us grow our donor base!" February 18, 2025 4.0 Overall, it has been a very positive experience. The platform has helped us reach a wider audience during fundraising campaigns while offering donors multiple ways to contribute. We especially appreciate the event creation feature for making RSVP pages for our community events. Though many of these events are free for community members, we've noticed that the platform enables participants to make small contributions when submitting their RSVPs. This feature provides a wonderful opportunity for community members who have the means to give back. Pros Ease of use to create fundraising campaigns, great widgets, and practical social media sharing features. Cons Migrating donor data from DonorBox platform. The newsletter/notification "Subscribe" form does not allow for anonymous subscriber (name and last name are required) Switched from [Donorbox](https://www.capterra.com/p/156860/Donorbox/) Givebutter provides easy social media sharing features and widgets Review Source Response from Givebutter February 26, 2025 Thank you for your kind words, Grisel!

Chief development officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Why aren’t you using Givebitter" January 30, 2025 5.0 What else is there to say? Meets our overall needs, seamless implementation, and producing results. Pros Givebutter has been a fantastic platform for our fundraising needs. The transition was smooth, and the interface is incredibly user-friendly. Their tutorials made it easy to get started, and whenever we had questions, customer service was responsive and helpful. It’s a great all-in-one solution for fundraising, and we’ve had a seamless experience so far. Cons Waiting too long to implement Givebutter! We spent extra time and effort using less intuitive platforms, which led to slower donor engagement and more manual work. The transition could have been smoother had we switched sooner, avoiding delays in streamlining our campaigns. Alternatives considered [GiveSmart](https://www.capterra.com/p/130794/GiveSmart/) Reason for choosing Givebutter I chose Givebutter because it offers the best combination of pricing and capabilities. The platform provides powerful fundraising tools without the high fees of other options, making it a cost-effective solution. Features like peer-to-peer fundraising, live donor tracking, and seamless payment processing set it apart. The transparent pricing and lack of hidden fees made it an easy choice. Plus, the platform’s ease of use and excellent customer support have made the transition smooth. If you’re looking for an affordable, feature-rich fundraising platform, Givebutter is the right choice.

Pros Easy to create campaigns and events that are also a good user experience on the donor/participant side. Cons We need to subscribe to Givebutter + to pull full reports and upload letters Alternatives considered [Zeffy](https://www.capterra.com/p/220131/Zeffy/)[BetterWorld](https://www.capterra.com/p/237618/BetterWorld/)[OneCause](https://www.capterra.com/p/145329/Fundraising-Software/) Reason for choosing Givebutter The cost as well as reviews and demos for each platform Switched from [Bloomerang Fundraising](https://www.capterra.com/p/80990/Qgiv/) Their fees for auctions were very high, and we could use Givebutter without a cost to run our first auction campaign. Givebutter also encourages the donor/client to cover the costs associated with card processing fees. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 2, 2025 Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you’ve had a positive experience with creating campaigns and events on Givebutter. I just wanted to clarify that reports are available to all users, you do not need to subscribe to Givebutter Plus to access them. The Plus version does offer the added benefit of automating custom reports, but transaction and contact details reports can be pulled without the subscription. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to our support team—we’re available 24/7 and happy to assist with anything you need! Wishing you continued success with your campaigns and events! DW Danyelle W.

April 17, 2025 4.0 Overall we have had a great experience using Givebutter for our nonprofit and sister organizations. Pros Givebutter provides a streamlined way of managing our constituents and fundraising efforts. Cons I think some areas could be a bit more user friendly but overall it is a great platform. Switched from [Give Lively](https://www.capterra.com/p/177952/Give-Lively-full-fundraising-platform/) It allows us to directly manage our constituents from other platforms like our newsletters. Review Source Response from Givebutter April 24, 2025 Aloha and mahalo for the kind words! We're so happy to hear the platform is helping you streamline your fundraising and connect with your community more easily. We totally get that there’s always room to make things even more user-friendly, and your feedback helps us improve. So glad to have you and your sister organizations with us—here’s to even more success ahead! Kristina N.

" February 4, 2025 5.0 Super easy verification and startup - found all of the educational videos super helpful. The on-going improvements keep me on my toes and seems almost intuitive. Pros Ease of set up. Free initial version. Setting up accounts and tasks Cons Asking for Tips. But I hate that in general, so really, it isn't specific to GiveButter and doesn't diminish the great things about the program. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 7, 2025 Thanks for the LOVE! It means the world to us. We’re especially glad the educational videos and ongoing improvements have been helpful for you! We totally understand your thoughts about the tipping feature—thank you for sharing that feedback We’re so happy to have you with us and can’t wait to keep improving to support you even more!
