"Flawless, Seamless Hybrid Silent Auction with Givebutter"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

We chose Givebutter for a hybrid online/in-person Silent Auction. It performed flawlessly and beyond expectations. It was very easy to set up, and integrated with our existing Stripe account. Also, it was free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

I did not "dislike" anything, the experience was seamless. When compared to a competitor that we used last year, there was literally only one feature that Givebutter could use an improvement, specific to hybrid auctions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thank you so much for your review, Thomas! πŸ’› We're happy to hear your hybrid silent auction went so smoothly and exceeded your expectations. It's great to know the setup was easy and the Stripe integration made things even simpler. We're excited that you're considering exploring more Givebutter features, and we can't wait to support your future events! ✨

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

I love how easy it is to set up events on Givebutter, which makes the whole process so straightforward. They also make it easy to track where my money is going and when it can deposit, providing transparency for people who are donating. The setup was extremely easy; all I had to do was sign up and connect the Outreach account, and it worked perfectly. I appreciate how transparent Givebutter is and would highly recommend it for its ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

I think that having it be one or two days before you could get your money, I'm wondering if that could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Hi April, thank you so much for sharing this πŸ’›

"Fundraising Simplified With No Fees"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

I think the simplicity of Givebutter is great, and I love that there are no fees involved. For us, not having to pay for expensive CRM systems is a big plus because everything we need is already there. We can run multiple campaigns and a bunch of different activities. The initial setup was very easy, with no issues at all, and we were able to quickly set up and succeed in our first campaign. We even raised a lot of money, so we’re very happy with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really have anything to share about what doesn't work well for Givebutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Thanks for the love, Jason πŸ’› we really appreciate you sharing this. It’s awesome to hear everything clicked right from the start and that your first campaign was such a success. Being able to run multiple campaigns without the extra cost is a big win!

"Easy-to-Use Free Plan That Grows with Us"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

I love the fact there is a free version of Givebutter for very small organizations such as mine and that I can grow with it when the time comes. The software is easy to understand and navigate and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

If there was onboarding support, I missed it. I realize I chose the free version, but I would have loved even a half hour with someone who could have helped me shorten my learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Kimberly, thank you for the lovely review! πŸ’›

We're so happy to hear Givebutter has been a good fit for your organization and that the free plan has given you room to grow.

"Easy Setup and Tracking for Fundraising Eventsβ€”Silent Auction and Paddle Raise Made Simple"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

Everything about Givebutter is easy. We just had our first fundraising event and the set up, tracking, and follow up were so straightforward. Specifically, I found the silent auction functionality to be easy to learn; the paddle raise was easy to track and then finalize donations; and the ability to enter transactions was direct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

The only downside is that you can't add a donation button from the silent auction but Givebutter are all over it! They said they have it on the list of additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Wow, thank you for sharing this! πŸ’›

Launching your first fundraising event is a big deal, and we're so glad Givebutter helped make the process feel easy from start to finish. It's wonderful to hear the silent auction, paddle raise, and donation tracking tools all worked so smoothly for your team.

And honestly, "everything takes like five seconds even with no training" made us smile. 😊 That's exactly the kind of experience we hope to create!

5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

I love the fact that Givebutter is really easy to use and that their team is super responsive whenever there's an issue. They're continuously improving the platform and adding new features. Givebutter accepts donations from all sorts of sources, from Venmo to DafPay and everything in between. It's super easy to create beautiful donation forms that are user-friendly and convert more donations. The setup was also super easy, taking less than fifteen minutes. Additionally, Givebutter makes it easy to keep our branding really clean and beautiful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Free Fundraising Tool for Nonprofits Not Needing Deep CRM Integrations or Advanced Reporting"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

Because we are a small and poor nonprofitall, we absolutely love that Givebutter is 100% fee free, has all in 1 tools, easy to implement, has great customer service and is easy to navigate. Most important, unlike PayPal, GiveButter allows for donors to make recurring donations withougt having to create an account and that issue was the main reason why we decided to seek an alternative to PayPal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

Although the tipping prompts can be pesky and annoying, we don't mind them because the service is free and because they aren't super annoying. What others meay see as a con (the lack of deep CRM integrations, advanced reporting, and customization), those features aren't a limitation for us as we don't need or use them. Therefore, there are no cons for us at all when using Givebutter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Wow, this is such a lovely review, thank you so much! πŸ’› We’re so glad the platform has been easy to use and that recurring donations without an account have been helpful for your donors. We really appreciate you sharing your experience and are so happy it’s working well for your team!

"Outstanding Solution That Delivers Real Value"
5/5
What do you like best about Givebutter?

I love that it is providing a free and comprehensive service to non-profits, making raising money so much easier. I first use Givebutter for a personal fundraiser and was blown away by how easy it was to use the virtual auction software. We raised over $5,000 that day and I still talk about Givebutter and how it was a big reason for the success in that fundraiser. Since then I've held two more virtual auctions for clients, handled email engagement, and created reports. I've found very little I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Givebutter?

There isn't much I don't like about Givebutter, if I had to as something, I'd say that the email UX can be a little tricky if you aren't familiar with it. I've had clients hire me just to put emails in for them, and, as much as I like the business, I feel bad for these non-profits who are spending their hard-earned money for something so simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Shiella D of Givebutter

Really appreciate this, Olivia, thanks so much for your feedback! We’re so glad to hear your fundraisers have gone smoothly and that the virtual auction tools helped you raise so much. We also hear you on the email UX being a little tricky at times, and really appreciate you pointing that out. It’s super helpful as our team continues to check and improve.

Thanks again for sharing your experience and wishing you all the best with your upcoming fundraisers πŸ’›
