5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

Has made donating to our nonprofit very easy, has a good look to it, and very user friendly for me the administrator Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

I understand the need for GiveButter to be funded, but I dislike the assumed 15% tip added when donors give through the site Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Susan! 💛 We're so glad Givebutter has made it easy for your team to accept donations and create a great giving experience for your supporters.

We also appreciate you sharing your thoughts about tips. Every nonprofit has flexibility over how they're presented, including the option to hide them completely if that's the best fit for their donors. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review!

"Transparent Fees for Nonprofits, But High Card Charges"
4/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

I was impressed with the Givebutter team when I signed up because there was a lot of due diligence making sure that we were a nonprofit. They also considered that someone my age might not be on social media, and I was very impressed with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

I'm concerned about the high fees that donors encounter when using credit cards on Givebutter. Some donors have felt that they were being charged exorbitantly, with fees almost reaching 20%. This situation causes me concern as it doesn't just affect Givebutter but also impacts my nonprofit by potentially leaving donors disgruntled about giving money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Hi Dennis! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that our nonprofit verification process and our efforts to make the platform accessible left a positive impression.

We also appreciate you raising your concerns about donor fees. One of Givebutter's goals is to provide organizations with flexibility in how fees are handled. For example, organizations can choose to cover processing fees themselves or hide them from supporters, and when optional platform tips are enabled, supporters can decide whether or not they'd like to leave a tip. Those optional tips also help fund Givebutter and, through the Givebutter Guarantee, can cover eligible processing fees on behalf of nonprofits.

We'd love the opportunity to learn more about your experience and help ensure your donation settings are working in the best way for your organization. If you have a few minutes, please reach out to our Support team. We'd be happy to walk through the available options with you and answer any questions.

Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Givebutter to support your nonprofit. 💛

"All-in-One Fundraising Platform That Streamlines Campaigns, Events, and Donor Giving"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

What I like best about Givebutter is how many fundraising tools are truly integrated into one platform and easy to use on a daily basis. I regularly use the campaign pages, peer‑to‑peer fundraising tools, event ticketing, donor management, and automated receipts, and having everything in one place has significantly streamlined our workflow.

The campaign setup process is especially helpful—being able to customize pages quickly, duplicate past campaigns, and adjust branding without technical support saves hours compared to platforms we’ve used in the past. The peer‑to‑peer fundraising features make it easy for supporters to create their own fundraising pages, which has expanded our reach without adding extra staff workload.

One of the biggest improvements to our workflow is the dashboard and reporting tools. I can easily track donations in real time, export donor data, and segment supporters for follow‑ups, which makes reporting and stewardship much more efficient.

An unexpected benefit has been how much donors enjoy the experience. The checkout process is smooth, mobile‑friendly, and offers flexibility in covering fees, which has increased donor satisfaction and repeat giving. The platform also integrates well with our communications, making post‑event and post‑campaign follow‑up much easier.

Overall, Givebutter has helped us raise more funds with less administrative effort while providing a professional, positive experience for both staff and donors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

While Givebutter is very user‑friendly overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. The reporting and data customization can feel somewhat limited, especially when trying to generate more complex or tailored reports for internal tracking or board reporting. Exports sometimes require additional cleanup to get the data exactly how we want it.

The donor management features, while functional, are not as robust as a full‑scale CRM. Tracking long‑term donor relationships, detailed notes, or advanced segmentation can require workarounds or integration with another system.

At times, the interface can feel cluttered as more features are added, which can make navigation slightly less intuitive—especially for new users or volunteers who only use the platform occasionally.

Lastly, while Givebutter is cost‑effective, the transaction and processing structure can still be confusing for some donors, particularly around optional fees, and occasionally requires extra explanation from staff.

Overall, these issues are manageable, but improvements in reporting depth, CRM functionality, and interface clarity would make the platform even stronger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review, Karyn! 💛 It means a lot to hear how Givebutter has helped streamline your fundraising, events, donor management, and peer-to-peer campaigns all in one place.

We especially loved hearing how the platform has helped your team spend less time juggling systems and more time focusing on your mission. And hearing that your donors are enjoying the giving experience too honestly, makes our day 😊

We also really appreciate the honest feedback around reporting customization, CRM functionality, interface clarity, and donor fee explanations. Feedback like this genuinely helps our team continue improving the platform and experience for both organizations and supporters.

Thank you again for all the incredible work you do as a prevention educator, and for letting us be part of your fundraising journey 💛

"Great Support and Easy Integration—Built for NFP Fundraising"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

Great support, onboarding resources, and interactive functions that really bring fundraising to life for NFP. The team responds quickly, and the features offered are genuinely helpful. The interface is easy to navigate for all users, and we were able to integrate it with our current systems quickly and easily. It definitely feels designed with NFP in mind, and overall it provides lots of benefits and a great ROI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

One thing that would be especially helpful is stronger reporting features. Having ready-to-use templates would be a big benefit, particularly for smaller or newer organizations that are just getting started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

This is such a lovely review. 💛 Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

"Effortless Fundraising with Givebutter"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

I love the easiness of Givebutter. I love that you can just give people a link or have a QR code that sends people directly to the page. I love how it's set up and that you can put a video or a picture up and just tell the story. I love the feature that gives an automatic thanks. The graph that shows how much people get and how close you are to reaching the goal is really motivating. It was really easy and straightforward to set up. It's no cost which is excellent for a grassroots nonprofit just starting out like ours, and I like the option to give back to Givebutter if we can budget it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

Nothing off the top of my head comes to mind. It has been a great tool and helped take away a lot of stress of managing a fundraiser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thank you so much! 💛 We're so happy Givebutter has helped make fundraising a little easier for Flourish Anyway. Wishing you all the best, and thanks for letting us be part of your mission! 😊

"Great for Small Non-Profits, Needs Feature Enhancements"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

I like that Givebutter is free or low cost, which was a big reason for choosing it as our fundraising and donor/member CRM. The CRM is quite powerful, allowing us to see who our members and donors are and how much they have contributed over time. I find the AI insights about our donors helpful. Givebutter's customer service is incredibly responsive, and the initial setup was pretty seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

There are some key features that are missing with the platform and there are some UI/UX issues that can sometimes be problematic. The platform is missing a virtual storefront for selling things like merchandise. There are workarounds by using the Events feature, but it is definitely not ideal. We have also encountered issues with not being able to move funds from the Givebutter Wallet back into our Payouts in order to process refunds and partial refunds or documenting off-platform refunds are not supported. Donors who want to remove/reduce the tips and processing fees sometimes can't figure out how to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback 💛 We’re really happy to hear Givebutter has helped simplify your fundraising and donor management processes, especially replacing manual workflows and multiple platforms. Hearing that the CRM, AI insights, and customer support have been helpful truly means a lot to us. 😊

We also really appreciate you calling out the areas where the platform could improve. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable, especially around storefront functionality, Wallet refund workflows, partial refunds, and documenting offline refunds. We know those use cases are important, and conversations like this help our team continue improving the platform experience.

Thanks again for being part of the Givebutter community and for sharing such detailed insights with us 💛

"Easy Live Auction Hosting Without Clipboards or Manual Tallying"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

It was very easy to input the auction items and host the auction live without having to use clipboards and tally the results myself in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

I wish the silent auction winnner's credit cards had been automatically charged at the end of the auction. It got very confusing because people had to register a credit card to bid so all of our winners thought they were automatically charged and I had to reach out to each one to explain that wasn't the case. Even sending the email reminders didn't help because people thought they had already paid and many of the people couldn't figure out how/where to pay when the reminders went out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thank you for sharing your experience! 💛 We're so glad to hear the online auction made things easier to manage and helped you reach bidders beyond those attending in person. 😊

We also appreciate the feedback around auction payments. For future events, Givebutter does offer an option to automatically charge the payment methods bidders have on file at the end of the auction, which can help create a smoother experience for both organizers and winners.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review, and we're thrilled that Givebutter helped make your auction a success! 🎉
