"GiveButter Makes Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Easy and Data-Secure"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

We used the platform for a peer-to-peer campaign. It was super easy for our volunteers to set up their pages. This is what make GiveButter fantastic - easy enough for non-tech people to use but sophisticated enough to securely capture all the data we need for donors, donations, and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

The check-out process for donors can be a bit tricky. If they prefer not to leave a tip they need to unclick the box. However, the GiveButter support staff has been spectacular anytime I called asking for help in refunding the tip. Great service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thank you so much, Toni! 💛 We're so glad Givebutter made it easy for your volunteers to jump in and support your campaign. We also appreciate your feedback about the checkout experience, and we're happy our support team was there to help. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 😊

"Excellent Donor Management with Intuitive Reporting"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

I like how Givebutter organizes our donations, enabling us to thank our donors easily. Their email platform is useful for sending quarterly updates to our donors. I also appreciate the reporting features, as I can keep up with exactly how much we've raised each month, and it's quick to view daily. They do an excellent job of making it easy to transfer funds into our account. The initial setup was easy, and I've found that they meet all our needs essentially for free. The exhaustive search process clearly showed Givebutter as the winner for us. Despite not caring for the name initially, I would highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Givebutter: User-Friendly, Reliable, and Always Improving for Small Non-Profits"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

Givebutter is super user friendly and has great AI tools and customer service to answer questions about what you want to use the software for. I have found places where there are gaps in its abilities, but it gives you the power to vote for an addition to the software and I have been using GiveButter long enough and it changes often enough that I have seen things I voted for be implemented. It feels like the updates are always useful and I rarely if ever encounter bugs or oddities. We have added a newsletter sign up to our website interconnecting GiveButter and our other systems and it has worked flawlessly. I would love to connect it with other systems too. I think for the price and the charging model it is absolutely the best system out there for small non-profits who want to keep all their information in one place, email from one place, and continue to grow with this great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

It is a more limited tool than some fundraising CRM systems, but it is covering more things a little bit and in my mind it's workable and helpful. Especially as a non-profit with razor thin margins it's been so helpful to eliminate multiple more elaborate systems in exchange for it all being in one place. But I know there are things still missing that I would like to take advantage of, especially in the reporting category, but I have seen GiveButter grow and improve and believe it will continue that way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Wow, thank you for such a thoughtful review! 💛

One of our favorite parts of your feedback is hearing that you've seen features you voted for become reality over time. We care deeply about listening to our community, so knowing you've experienced that firsthand means a lot to us.

We're thrilled that Givebutter has helped bring your contacts, communications, workflows, and fundraising efforts together in one place. For organizations with limited resources, being able to simplify systems and save time can make a huge difference.

Thank you for growing with us, sharing your ideas, and being part of the Givebutter community. We're excited to keep building alongside organizations like yours! 😊

"Efficient Fundraising with Easy Setup"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

I really like how Givebutter makes everything so easy. Selling tickets, tracking items, and collecting money were all straightforward, and I didn't have to deal with entering credit card details as they were loaded and processed automatically. The funds being deposited the next day was a huge plus. I also found it super useful being able to upload and duplicate events easily, like not having to reenter all the information for a recurring event. This saved a lot of time and made setup fast, like for an event, it took just thirty minutes. Overall, it just felt effortless to use Givebutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

The online auction was still pretty tedious with a lot of buttons and was time-consuming. It would be easier if there were more automated ways like using drop-downs to avoid manual entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Emily, this was so wonderful to read! 💛

We're thrilled that Givebutter helped simplify everything from ticket sales and payment processing to setting up recurring events. Hearing that an event could be up and running in about 30 minutes is music to our ears. 😊

Thank you as well for the feedback on the auction experience. We appreciate you sharing your ideas, and we're grateful to be part of your fundraising journey!

"Reliable, User-Friendly Fundraising with Powerful Tracking and Texting"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

My organization just hosted a fundraising campaign raising awareness about our 10 Year Anniversary. Givebutter has been a reliable resource and the dashboard is user-friendly. It has been a breeze to login and the software performance is top-tier. I love how much information you can enter to track communications and demographic details. We started out with the free plan but was able to raise enough funding to upgrade to the text feature. The text feature was a bonus for our fundraising campaign because we were able to reach our donors through an alternate communication pat to raise funds they may have gone untapped without it. Support has been amazing and they send our frequent emails about tips to maximize software usage and webinars on how to improve your fundraising efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

It would be helpful is payouts were setup automatically maybe on a monthly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thank you for sharing this! 💛

Congratulations on your organization's 10-year anniversary! We're honored that Givebutter could play a small part in helping you celebrate such an important milestone.

It's wonderful to hear that text messaging helped you connect with new donors and expand your reach, and we're so glad you've found the platform easy to use along the way. We also appreciate the feedback on automatic payouts and will keep it in mind as we continue improving the platform.

Thank you for all the incredible work you do, and we're cheering you on for many more years of impact! 😊

"Affordable, Intuitive Platform That Makes Fundraising and Transactions Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

Affordability, integration of existing products, easy to raise funds and complete transactions, UX, responsive customer service. Our small non-profit does not have a full-time staff member so it has been helpful to spend less while raising more. It is a more intuitive platform than our previous CRM. Additionally, we are seeing greater membership retention and presale tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

As a CRM replacement, it has been difficult to input our membership levels and separate mailing lists based on interests. Additionally, for recurring events it has been difficult to not have the option to time tickets for specific days. We sell art and merchandise through givebutter tickets but would appreciate an option to add sales tax too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! 💛

Hearing that Givebutter has helped your organization spend less while raising more is exactly what we hope for, especially for small nonprofits doing incredible work with limited resources. We're also thrilled to hear you've seen improvements in membership retention and presale ticket sales!

Thank you for sharing your feedback on membership management, mailing lists, timed tickets, and sales tax as well. Insights like these help us continue improving the platform for organizations like yours.

We're grateful to be part of your fundraising journey and wish you continued success! 😊
