I love that Givebutter combines the benefit of social media with very smart financial accounting practices. The consumer-facing platforms are fantastic, especially the fundraising pages, which make it easy to track donor engagements, conduct live fundraising, share goals, and upload stories in progress. These features remind me of platforms like Bandcamp or GoFundMe. I also find the external-facing communications tool really, really nice. The initial setup was extremely easy, which made it simple to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love for Givebutter to continue to level up its financial accounting practices. I would love to be able to run and process credit cards through Givebutter manually. My organization does a lot of live events, and the one thing Givebutter does not do for us right now is allow us to charge credit cards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to use and makes collecting funds and tracking payments super organized. The UI is simple and straightforward, and everything is easy to find. Integrations are helpful and make it work smoothly with other tools. It runs well without issues, and the overall value is great for what it offers. Support is responsive and onboarding is simple and quick to get started. The AI features also make certain tasks faster and more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can take a little time to learn all the features at first since there’s a lot in one platform. A few areas could feel more streamlined, especially when navigating between tools. Some advanced options aren’t super intuitive right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the ease of use with Givebutter. It's really helpful that the platform offers multiple ways to accept payments from supporters. Also, the overall visual aspect of Givebutter is something I really like, as it makes it easy to display fundraising progress at our events and helps more people get on board with our cause. Having one platform to consolidate all our donation tracking makes the entire process so much smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it were easier to tell the participants who want to raise money how to set up their own campaigns and to get people to donate directly to their campaigns. If there was a way that a campaign participant could create a team or an account and in one area that is easy to find could have a QR code and direct link to their fundraising efforts.

I like that with Givebutter, you can easily use it for organizing fundraisers and donations. It keeps everything in one place, which is really helpful for me. The platform's ease of use has been beneficial for both classroom and student fundraisers. I also appreciate the personalized website feature, as I like that you can create a page users can go to for everything, which personalizes the experience. The integration has helped tremendously as we didn't have anything for our school before. The initial setup was great, making it easy for us to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration to other sites. I tried to integrate onto a WordPress site but it didn't translate well. I'm not sure why as it did on the other Wordpress site I've used it for. This integration just didn't translate for some reason! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy using Givebutter, especially for setting up online auctions and live fundraising events. The flexibility with QR codes is a big plus, allowing us to collect donations at various events and share them easily. It's great that donations can be made outside of events and on social media too. The intuitive and easy-to-use interface makes things straightforward from the start, which I appreciate. Overall, we are really happy with the features Givebutter offers. It makes it easy for contributors to give, which enhances the overall fundraising experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't remember specifics, but I know that from our last event that had an auction component, there were a few things that could have been easier to use concerning either returns or refunds. So we had an attendee bid on the wrong item, and we were trying to switch that, and it was just a little confusing. It took a while to get that taken care of, and so maybe that's something that could be worked on. But it was a small thing, and in the end, it was fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that it's free, and that the free options for nonprofits are the vast majority of what we need a CRM/donation platform/mailing platform. It's quick and easy to use, there's extensive FAQs and knowledgebase articles, and they are very responsive. It was a piece of cake to integrate the donation form onto our website.

My only gripe at the moment is that custom fields on donation forms don't automatically translate into custom fields on the contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost which for our nonprofit it works out well. This is the organizations first CRM and it is helping manage donors and campaigns. It is easy to use and implement. I really love the tech support via chat. Always very timely and can answer my questions-even if I don't like the answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We could not use the newsletter or the registration for classes functionality because you can't edit much or remove features. For example, when I go to register for a class, I don't want to see the donation box anywhere. Or when we want to send a newsletter, we can't insert a pdf from CANVA that has all of the links or change the width or size of the newsletter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how Givebutter makes it so much easier to collect and raise money and issue receipts to donors. There are so many options to design donations, and it's great that I can create tickets for multiple things. I also appreciate that I can set a specific number of tickets and a time frame, making it easy to know when teams are full. The initial setup process was very easy to follow, allowing me to share to social media and make adjustments after setup was complete. I definitely plan to use it again next April.

I would like to transfer partial funds out at a time instead of full funds but other than that perfect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the interface in Givebutter. It's just easier to use, and it's a better experience for the donors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't collect sales tax on auctions, which means we are liable to pay for the taxes out of pocket. This makes the product ~10% more expensive than any competitor!!! We almost missed this and could have been audited by the IRS. The product is riddled with dark UX patterns. The product claims to have user opt in for tips, but many users report not noticing that they're paying them. When our nonprofit went to withdraw funds from the product, we were deceived into giving GB a 3% tip! Thankfully, they offered to refund this tip, but I imagine that many people don't notice or miss the window request a refund. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The versatility of fundraising tools is amazing. The ticketing software is robust, the auction is fun and engaging, the forms are perfect for capturing sponsor info and processing requests to perform with our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform really seems to prefer each team member have their own account, rather than an organizational account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
