    Pros
    It is everything we were looking for, and it doesn't cost us an arm and a leg. It integrates onto our Wordpress website wonderfully, and our donors love it too.
    We really like the API with Double the donation for matching gifts. The most helpful thing about GiveButter is the ease of implementation.
    The website is clean, modern, and beautiful looking. We love the ease at which people can sign up and donate on Givebutter.
    Cons
    For us it's very, set it and forget it. It's there when we push the link out to our base and in the background when we don't.
    Sometimes it was hard to coordinate when there are multiple fundraiser pages for one campaign.
    We would instead prefer to have a flat platform fee, but realize this probably means they would make less money. Also, the integration with our CRM was limited in terms of what data migrated where.

    Butter Ambassador & Regional Manager

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    Great! I think a lot of my struggles were self induced and that it was a great way to interact with people I may never have. I certainly recommend it.

    Pros

    I loved the ease of use. Even the people who I had raise money never once mentioned it as a tough software to use. That makes everything much quicker.

    Cons

    I would say nothing but I feel like that doesn’t provide you with insights to optimize. I suppose the only thing that comes to mind is the navigation through the software.

    Disaapointing results for our first big fundraising event!

    Reviewed 5 months ago

    Meh.

    Pros

    Works well for simple online donation tracking and follow up.

    Cons

    The Auction feature is a big bust and I dislike the use of the word "tipping" for donors.

    Vendor response

    Thank you for sharing this, Helen. We're always working to improve Givebutter and feedback from changemakers like you is the most important part of that process. You are always welcome to turn the tipping option off, although keeping that activated is what makes Givebutter free for you to use. I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed in auction. We continue to add improvements on a weekly basis. If there's something specific you would like to see addressed, feel free to drop us a message at support@givebutter.com

    Incredible tool for nonprofit's new annual fundraiser!

    Reviewed 12 days ago

    This nonprofit had never used a peer-to-peer fundraising tool even though they have high community support. This made it easier for supporters to raise awareness, funders to financially support, and for us to track it all! And the cost is, so important, incredibly reasonable! We made substantially more than we would have without this tool.

    Pros

    This was an incredibly important financial tool we were able to leverage at a (very) competitive cost. The modern, easy dashboard was super simple to set up and nearly every participant utilized it. We did not have to coach folks on how to use it, just point them in the direction of the landing page. And, finally, this enabled financial support and success for our new annual fundraiser at a level we've never seen before. Amazing!

    Cons

    I have no complaints about Givebutter. It was easy to use, it helped us generate incredible financial support and it was easy to manage and transfer information on the back end.

    Vendor response

    Thanks so much for buttering us up, Randyn! We're delighted that Givebutter made peer-to-peer fundraising even more powerful for your group!

    Auction was totally smooth...like butter!

    Reviewed 12 days ago
    Pros

    We used Givebutter for ticket sales and donations for a fundraising event, and also for the silent/online auction. The event page was easy to customize and share. When it came time to close the auction, the experience of checking out winning bidders and fulfilling items was flawless.

    Cons

    Registering to bid in the auction could have been more seamless; all the people at our event had purchased tickets through Givebutter, yet they had to re-register their information to bid in the auction. It would have been nice to have their info from the event registration automatically port over to the auction.

    Vendor response

    This is a great suggestion, Amy, that lots of other people agree with. Feel free to add your vote to the request for including auction registration with a ticket purchase. This is a planned upgrade, but we don't have an ETA yet. https://community.givebutter.com/raise/p/ticket-buyers-automatically-registered-for-auction
