“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’ve found Givebutter to be very user friendly. Whenever somebody donates to a particular [team member], that information goes immediately into our donor system and it's all linked. We're saving quite a bit of money in staff time just to be able to make the donations appear in our donor system. I think being able to use the live video aspect on Givebutter was very helpful for us, especially because we had that quick change to a virtual event. I think it was really fun for our [team fundraisers] and our donors to feel like they were all still together, even though we couldn't physically be together. What's great about Givebutter is it’s so easy to use both in person and virtual.”
"I think something really unique about our Givebutter experience so far is that the platform plays well for Millennials in that it’s got the integrations with Venmo, PayPal, and all of that kind of stuff. And it also passes the test for foundations or elderly folks who are looking to give larger amounts and things of that nature. So we have people’s grandmothers giving as well as, you know, someone’s 10-year-old wanted to give in their name. So it’s been very cool to see that 10-90 age range that have all connected and worked with that platform."
"At Givebutter, we love the way that the donor’s in the driver's seat. They get to pick the tips. They get to pick whether or not they cover any of the fees. Do they want to be monthly? Do they want to do something specific they get to plan? They get to control it."
"Before, we were paying for a donor database with Bloomerang, an email tool with MailChimp, and then for any events, we would also have to pay to outsource ticketing. We ultimately chose Givebutter over other CRMs because it could do everything all in one."
"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."
"Givebutter has many of the features you’d expect from a high-priced CRM, for free. One simple but important feature Givebutter already has is the option to get notified by email when someone donates. This enables us to send a timely thank you, from our inbox, without having to login to the CRM. This saves us time and brings in more money for our cause. I think this was the first giving season, and first time using a new platform, that we didn't receive at least one complaint. Frictionless for everyone."
