Our answer is really closer to 4.5 Our answer is really closer to 4.5. The experience with Givebutter was great. The only downside was that individuals were unable to see who donated on their behalf. We had to send updates to everyone, which was not the best use of our time.

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.

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?

My Bad Experience With GiveButter! My review of GiveButter is completely based on my own personal opinions and is not meant to smear, slander, or make defamatory statements about GiveButter. All of the statements I’m making in regards to GiveButter are being alleged based on my personal experience. GiveButter allegedly deactivated my account and the allegedly stopped responding to my email in regards to refunding all of my donors. I allegedly received an email from an alleged GiveButter employee named Rachid informing me that refunds would be granted to my donors. Allegedly GiveButter has not issued all of the refunds to my donors. I think they should have solved this issue more professionally instead of allegedly ignoring emails, messages, and chats.

I stumbled across Givebutter when… I stumbled across Givebutter when looking for a CRM for my brand-new non-profit. I didn't really think it would be able to offer much, but it was free so I gave it a shot. Lo and behold, it has well exceeded my expectations and really is an incredible tool! Fundraising, CRM, and now auctions?! So glad I took a chance.
