Church History Harvest Coordinator Museums and Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Givebutter: Where you can solve all your fundraising problems" January 31, 2025 5.0 I had a good time using Givebutter once I learned how to use all aspects of the platform. Pros I love how Givebutter makes it easy for anyone to use the platform. Everything you need for an event is right at your fingertips. It's great that they have consolidated all the aspects into one platform. Cons Without prior experience, it does take a little while to learn and can be a bit complicated in the beginning.

Development Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Supporting Community one event at a time! " July 2, 2024 5.0 So far I have loved the customer support and service every step of the way. Any concerns are met with answers in a very timely manner and support is always so proactive not reactive. I get regular check ins and the personal touch is unmatched. Pros I loved that for the first time ever we had a platform that was able to allow us to keep track of a community event. With costs of platform fees it’s been impossible to add that expense to a free event. The ability to collect data from attendees and offer them the convenience to support while at a free event was so impactful. Cons I would like the ability to sell items at a preset price. For example if we wanted to sell popcorn to a community member each item would’ve had to have shown as a donation. Looking forward to more “day of event functions” in the future.

The support of the team even before officially become a customer was unmatched. It wasn’t a sales team taking care of you “until the deal was closed” it has been constant support, realistic expectation setting and solution based conversations every step of the way. 10/10 would recommend Givebutter. Switched from [GoFundMe Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/127258/GoFundMe-Pro/)[OneCause](https://www.capterra.com/p/145329/Fundraising-Software/) Fees were outrageous and the data we were left with after an event did not easily integrate into our CRM.

We're thrilled that you've had such a positive experience with our customer support and proactive service. Your recommendation and kind words mean a lot to us. Thank you for choosing Givebutter!

It was so easy to implement and people love the ease of use Pros GiveButter has been great. It's easy to use, easy to understand, and has so many functions. We just used it for our online auction and it was terrific. Cons There is nothing I would change, except maybe for a way to create an annual report of giving for our finance department.

It's affordable and easy to use. Cons I don't love the email template in comparison to others I've used. It's not as attractive or easy to use. Switched from [Constant Contact](https://www.capterra.com/p/31898/Constant-Contact/) We stitched because it was too expensive.

I am happy with the platform so far. Pros The ability to run our silent auction on the platform! It was seamless for planning but also user friendly. Cons For the silent auction, we couldn't see real time bids. I wish this was offered. Review Source Response from Givebutter February 5, 2025 Thank you for your review!

It has streamlined our efforts, made everything so easy for us and for our donors, and saved our staff so much time. Pros We rely strongly on Givebutter's functionality for our campaigns and events! It is so simple to set up fundraising campaigns and events and then track all activity in real-time. There are no fees to use it; they get tips from our donors and ticket purchasers. We use it for all our donations capabilities, including in-person and online events, ticketing, auctions, and fundraising campaigns. We are so thankful for the robust functionality it offers our nonprofit! Cons We honestly have had no issues with using this platform.

Cons The app was originally confusing and seemed to lack many features but this may have been fixed with the latest update. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 22, 2024 Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We appreciate your input regarding the app’s initial confusion. We're always working hard to enhance our platform, and we hope the latest updates have made your experience even better. Thanks for being part of our family. Happy fundraising! MW Melinda W. Band Booster Secretary Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bookkeeping Made Simple!" September 9, 2024 5.0 Love using it for fundraising for a certain item and for memberships. Pros Easy to collect money from various people that all go to one specific thing and it makes it easier for the treasurer to itemize our accounts with money collected. Cons Sometimes it’s hard to tell if I have it set up correctly because I can’t see all of the parts at one time. And I’m not sure how tickets print and can’t see them without completing a purchase myself. Switched from [Google Forms](https://www.capterra.com/p/176571/Google-Forms/) Needed to be able to collect money for memberships and donations. Also want to use for ticket sales.

July 3, 2024 5.0 So far so good, we have started several campaigns and done pretty well to meet our goals! Pros The interface is very easy to use and I love that we can incorporate Give Buttons and donation pages right into our website! Cons I can't think of anything I don't like at the moment.

Plus the cost was right. Switched from [CivicPlus Recreation Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/127098/CivicRec-powered-by-REC1/) Our former software was older and had not been updated by the developers for a very long time and it had no way to implement a one click donation solution.

September 30, 2024 5.0 Three times I have set up an auction with Give Butter. Once was for a single day, the others for a period of days leading up to an event. I love the ability to reach people who are not at our events. Pros Free for nonprofits that don't have a big budget. Love the auction feature. Cons Can't really think of any. The platform is pretty easy to understand and set up. Review Source Response from Givebutter October 8, 2024 Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! Your kind words mean the world to us!

Great onboarding and customer service. Pros Easy to use and extremely easy to get started. Cons Lacking some features and ability to customize donation form Switched from [GiveWP](https://www.capterra.com/p/10007439/GiveWP/) Givebutter was easier to use and more sophisticated system Review Source Response from Givebutter September 29, 2024 Thank you for spreading the Givebutter love!

Pros Ease of use and options for us and for our donors is helpful. Cons Some things have a learning curve, but the assistance is helpful.

Pros So intuitive to use, both on the organizers' end and on the fundraisers' end. Cons I wish it were a little easier to separate out donors and fundraisers when sending out a message as an organizer. Review Source Response from Givebutter September 27, 2024 Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re over the moon to hear that you find Givebutter intuitive and easy to use.

Marketing Director Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good for starting out" July 22, 2024 4.0 Responsive and helpful support! A little disappointed with the overall experience, but perhaps I realize we were looking for something more advanced than Givebutter. Pros At a very basic level, Givebutter works well as a CRM to guide your organization"s fundraising efforts. You can store donor contact and giving information. Create bulk emails and year-end acknowledgement letters. The zero dollar subscription rate was the biggest value for us. Comparatively, it saved us $3000 in annual fees plus $1500 in on-boarding fees. Cons Givebutter lacks the depth of function to strategize donor relations and grow overall giving. I've also found that some of the functions aren't reliable all the time, such as exporting only specific info columns for a spreadsheet. I've run that export a few times, designating specific info, but it would still export everything. I also find it annoying that it can filter and show you specific Transactions (or gifts) but it won't show you a total for the filter set. Example: I filter only Transactions for this month to date. I can see all individual gifts but no total dollar amount, total average gift or total number of donors. This simple information would be helpful to see at a glance. Reason for choosing Givebutter Mainly, the $4500 savings, compared to the other CRM we researched and demoed. Review Source Response from Givebutter August 3, 2024 Thank you for the detailed review! We’re thrilled Givebutter is a cost-effective solution for your CRM needs. Your feedback on exporting and filtering is super valuable. We love that you appreciate our support team! Thanks for being part of our family! CC Carlos C. Board president and executive director Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helping our organization thrive!" September 11, 2024 4.0 The experience is wonderful and the support is very helpful! Pros The beautiful and simple platform. All the different tools have helped our audience to learn about our mission and donate to support us. Cons Too much hassle to sell tickets and donations in person.

September 9, 2024 5.0 Givebutter has been our secret weapon over the past year. It's been such a hit as a supplemental way of capturing donations, and we're strongly considering it for some of our major events and general donation forms. Pros The incredible ease of use and outstanding customer support team. Cons There's some customization options still desired, like limiting which funds appear in the area of support drop-down.

Director of Development Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review by Friends in Deed" July 1, 2024 4.0 Overall, Givebutter is a robust platform that we highly recommend for its innovative features and ease of use. With a few tweaks in CRM integration, it could be the perfect solution for any nonprofit looking to amplify their fundraising efforts. Pros We at Friends in Deed have been utilizing Givebutter for our fundraising needs, and it has been a game-changer for us. The platform's peer-to-peer and online silent auction functions are particularly outstanding. These features have significantly enhanced our fundraising efforts, allowing our supporters to engage and contribute seamlessly. The system itself is incredibly intuitive, making it easy for our team to navigate and manage campaigns without extensive training. This user-friendly interface has saved us valuable time and resources, which we can now dedicate to furthering our mission of helping people in need and building a community to end poverty. Cons One area where Givebutter could improve is its integration with CRM systems. A more seamless communication between Givebutter and our CRM would streamline our data management processes and enhance our ability to maintain comprehensive supporter records. Alternatives considered [Bloomerang Fundraising](https://www.capterra.com/p/80990/Qgiv/) Reason for choosing Givebutter We chose Givebutter over alternative products primarily due to its competitive pricing, coupled with its robust system, enhanced administrative capabilities, intuitive user experience, and powerful features like peer-to-peer and online silent auction functions that are essential for our fundraising efforts.

President Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A unique take on donor management and online giving " July 1, 2024 5.0 I have a highly positive experience with Givebutter. Their support and staff are highly responsive and the appear committed to continuously improving their product. They have an impressive number of features for a "free" system and what minor inconveniences there are I can definitely live with considering how much I'm saving buy using their platform. Pros Givebutter's major selling point is that they do not charge anything for the use of their system. Givebutter is free forever for our non-profit. In a world where every other platform is charging based on the number of contacts in your database this is a game changer for us! This means we can use our Donor Management system as our primary CRM as well, at no additional cost. I also love that they include a robust texting and email communication system. Making communicating with our donors a breeze. Finally they seem committed to continuously improving their platform, adding new features regularly. I love this from a "free" system! Cons Because they are free for our ministry to use they ask your donors to make an additional donation to Givebutter on all webforms. It's possible to decline, but it's not easy, and the suggested amounts seem quite high. I cannot tell if that has put people off of donating to us or not. The alternative is to pay a flat %1 fee on every online donation which means that donors will never see the option to donate to Givebutter, but effectively means Givebutter is not a free system and the costs go up directly in proportion to the amount we make. TL;DR it's complicated. At the present time Admins cannot edit or adjust a recurring donor's amounts or date of donation. The only option is to cancel a donation and have the donor restart their recurring donation on the date they want it to recur. Review Source Response from Givebutter July 12, 2024 Thanks so much for your fantastic review of Givebutter! We're thrilled to hear it's become your go-to platform for donor management and online giving. We understand your concerns about the optional donor contribution and the limitations with recurring donations. We're constantly working on refining our platform, and your feedback is invaluable in that process. Thank you again for choosing Givebutter and for your valuable insights.

September 9, 2024 5.0 It has been great so far, we really like using this platform for our donations and events. Pros Easy to use and they have great customer service! Cons There are some options that I would like to see them add in the future.
