79 Givebutter Testimonials

“We chose to go with Givebutter because we could have that live stream right there on the donation page. You're seeing it, there's the comments, and you're able to call and actually interact with someone. There were a lot of ways to really participate with us. A lot of people became team members. They wanted to bring in people and help us get support, which I think was a very great tool. [Givebutter] really was such a great platform to do it. You really have put the best of everything together, so thank you. It was a game changer.”

"There are so many things to like about Givebutter. The ease of which it has given our donors to give money to the school, the texting feature is fabulous for our younger tech-savvy doors and this platform is FREE!!! The customer support goes above and beyond on any issue or questions we may have as an organization and even helps us customize many of their features. Our strategic campaigns, such as Giving Day, has resulted in bringing in more money since we started using Givebutter. It truly has been a game-changer when it comes to raising money."

“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.”

"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.”

“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.”

“We just tried to tell the story in a way that people understood mattered but also would make a difference if they donated. This is such a humongous problem that you may be overwhelmed by it, but there is an option, there is a solution. We just wanted to convey the message that this is a huge problem, but it's a solvable one and you can help.”
