"We LOVE Give Butter and all the features that keep getting added!"

5/5

What do you like best about Givebutter?

Now having done multiple events with Give Butter, it has made our event tracking SO much easier. We are able to balance accounts and match up attendees with the seating feature. I have referred any non profit in the market I can to Give Butter! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

None at this time comes to mind. I am so excited to use the new live auction feature at our next event! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks so much for sharing this, Mindy! 💛 It sounds like you’re really getting things organized, that’s awesome!

We appreciate your feedback about the card reader and live auction features. I also wanted to share that you can actually collect payments right from the mobile app without a card reader by using our Tap to Pay option. It’s a great alternative for on-site transactions. I completely understand how important those tools are during events, and I’ll be sure to pass your thoughts along to our team as we continue improving both areas.

If you ever need help with setup or want to chat through auction options, feel free to reach out anytime at support@givebutter.com. We’re always happy to help!

"Givebutter Replaced Three Tools and Centralized Our Operations"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Givebutter?

I like that Givebutter integrates almost every aspect of our organization. This allowed us to replace three separate products we were using that weren't talking to each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

I wish it had volunteer hours tracking and a two-way sync with QuickBooks. Currently, we have to use an outside product to track our volunteer hours. The problems we run into with Quickbooks are lack of check number and deposit date synching, changes made to Givebutter transactions after sync don't re-sync, and changes made to transactions in QuickBooks don't update Givebutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Patty, thank you so much for sharing this 💛

We’re so glad to hear Givebutter has helped bring everything into one place and replace multiple tools for your team. That’s exactly what we aim for 😊

We also really appreciate you calling out the need for volunteer tracking and improvements with QuickBooks sync. That’s super helpful feedback, and I’ve shared it with our team.

Thanks again for being part of Givebutter! ✨

"Streamlined Donor Management with Givebutter"

4/5

What do you like best about Givebutter?

I use Givebutter for donor management in our 501c3 animal rescue. I love the features like pathways, emails, and texting, which help maintain communication with donors, regardless of donation size. The organization of donors has improved significantly, as everything is now in one easy-to-access place. The ease of use and customer service stand out for me. The platform makes it quicker and easier to communicate with donors. Setting up our organization was incredibly easy on Givebutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

We have had a hard time getting our current contact list transferred over to Givebutter. It is difficult to translate the spreadsheet from Mailchimp to the exact format Givebutter needs, especially with 5,000 subscribers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What a wonderful review, thank you so much for sharing it! 💛

We're so happy to hear that Givebutter has helped streamline your donor management and made it easier to stay connected with supporters of all giving levels. It means a lot to know that features like Pathways, email, and texting have helped bring everything together in one place.

Thank you as well for sharing your experience with contact imports. We know moving a large subscriber list can sometimes be a challenge, and feedback like yours helps us continue improving the onboarding experience.

Thanks for all you do for your animal rescue, and thank you for being part of the Givebutter community! 😊

"Lots of Free, Easy-to-Use Features"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Givebutter?

It has lots of free features that are fairly easy to use. Having our fundraising, event ticketing, and donor management in one place without platform fees has been a solid upgrade for our team. The donor tipping model works well, as most of our supporters choose to cover processing fees so more of the money raised goes straight to our programs.

On the daily workflow side, the drag-and-drop campaign builder makes it quick to launch custom ticketing pages without needing a designer. We don't use the feature yet, but the option to have event sales and donor profiles automatically sync will save us from doing manual CSV exports and spreadsheet updates. The checkout process is smooth, and offering options like Venmo, Apple Pay, and Google Pay helps reduce abandoned. Onboarding was straightforward enough that we were able to get up and running right away without needing dedicated IT support or technical training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

The reporting functionality needs improvement, particularly when reconciling payouts against accounting software. When deposits are bundled, it is very difficult to identify which specific donors and transactions correspond to a given payout batch. This creates a significant administrative bottleneck during monthly accounting reconciliations, making it hard to track donor history and financial records accurately. Templated reports aren't great either. Even after upgrading, the reporting capabilities lack the depth needed for clean data exports. Adding clearer transaction breakdowns and more options for report templates, including customized reports, would make a huge difference for financial tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Givebutter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using Givebutter, we struggled to manage modern, multichannel giving options without overwhelming our small team or paying high platform fees. The free platform model gives us a strong ROI, as we can easily run text-to-donate campaigns alongside traditional online giving, which gives our supporters convenient ways to contribute.

The UI and live campaign tracking page format make a noticeable difference during fundraising events, helping build excitement in real time while keeping our community engaged. Having these features natively integrated in one dashboard eliminates the need to manage separate third-party tools. Onboarding was quick and straightforward, and we plan to try the online auction features in the future as we expand our events. Overall, centralizing these tools has streamlined our operations and expanded our reach with minimal effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GiveButter Makes Nonprofit Donations Easy and User-Friendly"

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.

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

edit

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.

What problems is Givebutter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Givebutter is solving the problem of fragmented fundraising systems by combining donations, event ticketing, peer‑to‑peer fundraising, and basic donor management into one platform. Before using Givebutter, managing multiple tools meant duplicating work, exporting data between systems, and spending unnecessary time reconciling reports. Now, everything lives in one place, which has greatly reduced administrative burden.

For our organization, this has meant less time managing technology and more time focusing on mission‑driven work. Campaigns can be launched quickly, donations are tracked in real time, and receipts and confirmations are automated, eliminating many manual processes we previously handled by hand.

Givebutter also addresses the challenge of accessibility and ease of use for both staff and donors. Volunteers and team members can learn the platform quickly, and donors are comfortable giving through a seamless, mobile‑friendly checkout experience. This has improved donor confidence and increased participation in campaigns and events.

Another key problem it solves is limited fundraising capacity with small teams. The peer‑to‑peer and supporter‑led fundraising tools allow our community to fundraise on our behalf without requiring additional staff oversight, expanding our reach and impact without increasing workload.

Overall, Givebutter has helped us operate more efficiently, engage supporters more effectively, and raise funds in a way that feels modern, transparent, and sustainable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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, onboarding resources, and interactive functions that really bring fundraising to life for NFP. The team responds quickly, and the features offered are genuinely helpful.

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?
