“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 …

“There definitely is a very human element to [Givebutter]. When I’d think, “Oh, I just wish I could customize this,” I could send either an email or a chat to Givebutter and they'd usually get back to me the same day. They'd either say, “Okay, great suggestion. We're going to …

“I love using the Givebutter platform. In the past, we've tried other platforms and I've had the most positive experience with Givebutter. I think that the donor engagement is really awesome on Givebutter. I love how it tells the story and it's presented in such a friendly way. I think …

“[The Givebutter platform] has integration with Venmo, QR codes—there are so many different ways, using the Givebutter platform, to make your campaign as accessible as possible. It has to be the perfect platform, and for us, it has been a wonderful and encouraging experience to work with the team at …

“We also did the peer-to-peer part of it. That's one of the things that drew us to [the Givebutter] platform: the easy, seamless way to do tickets, peer-to-peer, and a live event all within the same page. Everything lived in the same place, and I think having all of those …

“When I started using the [Givebutter] platform and seeing how it worked, I was just amazed at how organized everything was, how user-friendly it was. We wanted people to be able to donate and buy tickets—which Givebutter does so well. After using it successfully for more complicated events, it was …

“I found that experience—being able to see in real time who was donating and also read the comments that people left—to be really gratifying. I didn't expect there to be another community aspect to the fundraising part of this, but the comments that people were able to leave—and the fact …

“Every time that we've reached out [to Givebutter], everyone that I've ever talked to has been so quick and willing to help. We really, really appreciate that; that's been huge. I even had one week—in one of our first weeks on—during a stream, I was having problems with something going …

“[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 …

“That was one of the ways that we used Givebutter too. We changed the story, we changed the teams, and changed multiple things on the page as the day went on to match the content of what we were doing. It was very quick to do, and it was really …

"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 …

“Can I give a quick shout out to the Givebutter team? Because of those [team fundraisers]. There were a lot of them and it seemed really overwhelming to me. When I chat-boxed you guys, within a minute I had help and you guys set it up on your end which …

“We really just built [the campaign], got people signed up for their teams, and from there it just spread like wildfire. There's not a lot of hand-holding you have to do once the event is happening. Givebutter was so easy. I can just say [to team fundraisers] “Follow this link …

“We liked that we could livestream our event and enable our donors to make a contribution without leaving the platform for the Livestream. In any other platform that you're using, if the giving function is not there, they have to go away from the event to make that gift. We …

“None of us knew what we were doing, and Givebutter support was awesome. We emailed several times to say, “I don't know how to do this.” We had support from the Givebutter side who advised us on some of these other pieces that weren't [Givebutter] technology. They had enough experience …
