79 Givebutter Testimonials

“[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.”

“[Using Givebutter has] been great! If we have an issue or somebody goes online and they made a mistake with their donation (or whatever the issue might be), we can get through to someone who can help us with that. If we want to change something in the campaign—you realize you made a mistake and there's a typo or something—you can go in there and fix that easily on the backend. I also like the fact that it integrates with Bloomerang. As soon as someone makes a donation on this page, it automatically is integrated into Bloomerang, so I don't have to go in there and enter the gift myself. If there are any adjustments that we need to make, it's fairly simple to make. So far, it's been a good experience. We’ve enjoyed it!”

"If you haven't heard of Givebutter yet, you're in for a treat. It's one of the easiest fundraising platforms to use out there and it doesn't take much time to learn how to use it effectively. The platform itself is easy to navigate, especially as they continue to release new features and updates."

“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.”

“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.”

“I think I was surprised by the virtual event; it was easy. The surprising thing for me was there were some people who started their team member page way in advance, right when we launched it. Then there were some people who the day of or the day before or the week of just created one and invited a bunch of people and they showed up and/or got gifts. I think the ease of that—because if you're in person, you have to have a headcount and a food count and all of that in advance—the ease of just being able to do it so last minute or within hours of the event. It didn't hinder anything. It actually was just more exciting.”

“When we realized we needed to do a virtual event for the pandemic year, Givebutter was really the best for the event side and for being able to host other fundraisers or giving forms or text-to-give if we need something like that. Givebutter was the most well-rounded option. When it came to our event, we were able to create several different pages for the same event and really make it creative and help distinguish them but to have everything in one place. It was a really easy way for us to collect donations online, sell things online, and host a live video event all in one year.”

“We had 5,258 unique donations and 4,163 of them were $50 and under. It was a really strong showing-up-small donations, building up that whole.”

“I looked up, “Can you give donations through Venmo?” and of course the articles that I found said, “No, you can't. No, you can't. No, you can’t.” But, through Givebutter, you can!”

“Givebutter gave us the tools and the outlet to create this campaign. [Givebutter campaigns are] great because they're easy to search, easy to find, and people really enjoy participating in them. [Givebutter] was very user friendly for everybody. There wasn't a lot of training that you have to do because it's so user friendly to begin with.”

“We actually looked at a lot of different options for where we wanted to host, and Givebutter ended up being by far the best for us. We love the text-to-donate. We saw a lot of people doing team fundraising. It was really great, especially the [supporter] messages down the side. Those are really special and a lot of platforms didn't have that. I would say there's a myriad of functionalities that Givebutter can use, so make sure you're exploring every feature that they offer. If you have any questions, reach out to the support team because we did a couple of times and they were very helpful.”

“The integration between ThankView and Givebutter that was a key component for choosing Givebutter. We asked [team members] to make a thank you video then, the [Givebutter] donation button was right below the video. [Donors] didn't have to go to another site. Everything was all wrapped up into one. That ease—that everything just flowed from ThankView right into Givebutter—was just super huge for us. Take advantage of the ease and functionality that Givebutter has to offer. It's a really simple platform, and it's actually fun to donate!”

"Givebutter was new to us. We had never heard of it, and we were recommended by one of our top volunteers to check it out. We talked with Max and decided to just go for it, especially being able to offer Venmo and PayPal which our donors have asked for for years and years and years. Being able to say, “Okay, here it is!” was a huge plus. Max and all the team were just so accessible and easy to work with. If you've got questions, ask them. [The Givebutter team] was so helpful.”

“We haven't had any negative feedback from anybody about using Givebutter. Knowing that the platform is set up in a manner that's very user friendly is super helpful. Givebutter works so well to help us automatically put information into our email list we didn't have to go in and manually type in 220 people and match up who's already in our email list and who's not. [Givebutter] allowed us to keep a very organized database that instantly went right into our system. [Fundraising on Givebutter] was easy, to be honest. That was, I think, the best part of all of it.”

“[With Givebutter] it’s easy to send [campaign] information out and interact with people. It's easy to see who you're giving to if you have a certain [team fundraiser] you want to get credit for the giving. I was surprised at how easy it was for me to take that Givebutter link. I started sending that link out to the people that I recently connected with in my texts. It seems insignificant now compared to the $66,000, but I probably got about $300 in an hour just texting the [Givebutter] link to my friends!”
