What is Givebutter?

Givebutter is an all-in-one fundraising platform for student organizations, sports teams, companies, and nonprofits which offers the tools for collecting donations, running social peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, selling tickets to fundraising events, and more. The cloud-based platform offers three integrated products; Collect, Fundraise, and Event, which can be used individually or together within the Givebutter platform.

Givebutter's fundraising platform is built on top of a self-service CRM dashboard, which is designed to help small groups to track and improve upon their fundraising efforts over time. Givebutter offers enterprise grade features and support to nonprofits, chapter-based orgs, and various groups with high-volume fundraising activity, and aims to help them provide donors, members, supporters, and advocates with an easy way to give. With the Collect module, users are able to accept donations, both one-off and recurring, via debit card, credit card, and Venmo. A custom widget can be created and embedded into the business website in order to accept donations, and custom donation amounts can be added to the widget to give donors a selection of options.

    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.
