Use GiveButter if you want to LOSE money! We are a tiny, volunteer-run nonprofit organization that depends on fundraising to exist. We lost hundreds of dollars in potential donations--along with experiencing deep embarrassment at our event--due to GiveButter's admitted mobile platform glitch where our guests were not able to bid live on silent auction items at our event. We had a piece of artwork that went for grossly under its listed value due to the inability of people at our event to bid live. A river rafting package ended up going for only half of its value. The organizations that generously donated these items were appalled, and we were deeply embarrassed. Generally, the idea with a silent auction is that people are able to give, not get a deal. What could I tell them except that GiveButter screwed up. On top of that, I can't tell you how much time I have spent scrambling to recover with our guests and donors during a time when I should have been focused on thanking folks for their generosity. Getting any kind of customer service--during the glitch and after--was a joke. They have yet to apologize for the issue. Instead, they offered to refund our service fee plus a $69 "donation." I've spent literally hours trying to use their chat feature, and no one returns my emails. We are an extremely small nonprofit organization doing all we can to keep on our feet and keep our organization afloat. This silent auction was vital for our survival, and GiveButter flat out screwed us.

So far, so good! We’ve only been using them for a few months, but are finding it feature-rich and easy to use. The onboarding session was helpful and has given us some ideas for events and fundraising activities.

Trying to work with this Company but no… Trying to work with this Company but no live person to speak to. How can I run campaigns with bad customer service? What would donors do? I spent almost two hours on a chat waiting for responses and the nice agent said they have a small team and continued to apologize. Significant wait time between responses from agent. The he simply sent links they didn't answer the specifics. Again would have been a short phone chat. Obviously, this Company spent much of the funding on Marketing, SEO, and flashy website. Whet about good old fashioned reasonable customer service?

I made a donation to my high school and… I made a donation to my high school and I was charged $3 for a tip without my approval. I was also charged a service fee of $1 with out my approval or an option to opt-out. Will not donate the next if they use givebutter.com

Wonderful way to fundraiser! After participating in years of fundraisers as a parent of 4, this amazing Give Butter App was motivating, easy and fun to use this season. Best of all, more money was raised by donations and not selling items no one needs. Our team had competitions to raise the most money and have the most donors. We will definitely use it to fundraiser next season! Thank you for your wonderful fundraising platform!
