79 Givebutter Testimonials

“I volunteer for an organization who has used Givebutter, and I was so happy to donate on the platform that I started doing some research. It was so clear and clear-cut that [the Givebutter platform] actually is the thing that made me want to do this new clean water project. If you had not appeared, I'm not sure that Obur Village and the Bululu Secondary School would actually have water today. It was pretty much because you gave me the tool to make it happen in a different way that I just jumped on it. [Givbutter] just made [fundraising] so easy. Especially in a chaotic world, we need to have the tools for this kind of giving back to be easy. [Givebutter] gave us the tools to say, “This is about a community of givers,” and that was exactly what I needed.”

"‍We really liked the Givebutter solution—it was free and very easy to use. We loved all of the classes and the support from the customer service representatives. We got lots and lots of help when we were setting up our platform and our CRM."

"We looked at a ton of different websites and the thing we kept on running into was really high fees. We were really intent that all the money donated should be going to these organizations, as much as possible. There was talking about us covering the fees, but pretty soon we'd be paying a lot. We didn't know how much money we were going to raise, but we're really glad we didn't offer to cover the fees now. Once we started looking at [Givebutter], we were like this is clearly leaps and bounds above the other platforms in terms of the fees being low. Also it was very clear. There were lots of options to customize, to kind of make the campaign our own—which we were figuring out what exactly we wanted fundraising to look like and how to engage people. Givebutter seemed to have a lot of options for how to do that."

"In the past, our in-person benefit [was] expensive to come to. If you weren't part of a corporate sponsorship, then you had to pay a ticket. So a good number of people, who were of good will, who did not have the money to pay for a ticket, were just left out of it. Within a peer-to-peer approach, we were able to welcome them into the celebration. And they responded extremely well to that."

“A lot of campaigns in the Kickstarter style, you're more or less buying a product when you donate. But in our world and on a site that's centered on nonprofits [such as Givebutter], people are a little bit more used to the fact that what they're doing is pitching into a mission.”

“I think Givebutter is really instrumental. When you're out there as an Auxiliary Board member and you're trying to fundraise money, it just makes it so much easier. I'm talking about the event, I'm hyping up the event, I'm posting on social media about the event, and it's just really easy to send people directly to that link and have them sign up and get that particular sign-up credited to me. I love it also as somebody who's fundraising because I can see exactly how many tickets are left in real time. The fact that it's such an interactive platform really makes it easy for us to do our job to hype up the event and make sure people know there aren't too many tickets left so they need to buy soon.”

“[Givebutter] was super easy to use. Everybody was just like, “It felt second nature to all of us.” Something that really helped was all these team members having their own page, their own subpage. It actually ended up giving a little bit of that good competitive spirit which really helped.”

“We just loved [Givebutter]! We saw the ways that Givebutter was really appealing to our donors who wanted to be able to give with the click of a button on their Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, etc. It was really just a great experiment for us, and we loved it very much. It really gave our donors a new platform for storytelling, for recruiting new partners in our mission, and it was awesome. We're obviously going to keep using Givebutter, but these campaigns have really shown us the appeal of Givebutter.”

“Givebutter has whatever tool you need in a very simple, user-friendly way. It was the perfect tool for us because we didn't want to pivot to something that had a million bells and whistles and too many options or something that was going to be a little more too complicated for our audience to really understand or navigate.”

“I thought, to be honest, Givebutter was too good to be true. It was really just this free tool, and I'm thinking, “No way! This can't be.” I was moving on from it, and then I wasn't really satisfied with the other ones I was looking at. I came back to it, asked for a meeting, and I just said, “Wow, this is real!” Everyone loved [Givebutter] and one of the best things was that it was so easy to use. We didn't have to go through someone else who had to edit it. We could do it ourselves, but anytime I needed help with something, I could just easily message. Givebutter really made this all possible.”

“[Givebutter] was so customizable. It really did allow us to make it look like a product of our organization. There's so much, in fact, customization that you can do within Givebutter for any specific event or campaign, my greatest recommendation is give yourself lots of time to go through those settings in Givebutter. Familiarize yourself with all of the different options of what all is possible and what you can do because I feel like this tool could very easily do events of different types. It worked perfectly for us in this case because we really dug into all those settings and options and made it work for us.”

“Givebutter seemed like a really simple, great platform that was really easy for team leaders to come up with their own landing pages. It seemed like the right platform for pre-recorded content and live streaming an event. [Givebutter]’s just really intuitive and simple. I put a little document together to guide team members and team leaders to put their own pages together and I got no phone calls or emails; it was great! It was because of how simple Givebutter is. It's really simple for other people to follow. There's not too much distracting design things that make it complicated.”

“What was important to me was to choose a platform that I felt would be super user-friendly and fun so that our volunteers would have to put minimal work in but would get a lot out of it. That's where we found Givebutter and we're so happy to have found it. I absolutely would love to use this platform again next year—even if we're in person—because I felt like it was so user-friendly and fun and helped spread the word so quickly. We're thinking that we’ll never go back to fully in-person; it may just be hybrid from now on.”

“We researched a lot of different platforms to use and we got to know Givebutter and we really liked all the features and the ability to do the peer-to-peer fundraising and events and everything. It just seems so user friendly. That's how we came to be on Givebutter. I would say the biggest chunk of our success so far has been in peer-to-peer fundraising.”

“When we embedded the Givebutter forms, we suddenly noticed that way more students were signing up and all these technical issues went away. I think it embeds quite seamlessly, and you can change the color to match your website. It's quite intuitive to use for people who are signing up. I believe that it really did help us raise further revenue, just the platform itself and the software itself when we embedded it into our website. Givebutter enables you to do what it is that you do best.”
