GBThe staff is amazing The staff is amazing. Super helpful and the design team has created an amazing auction tool in a limited amount of time. They have thought through so many details and love that they are constantly working to improve their product. Can't wait to see the upgrades next year :)

GBI 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.

GBUse 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.
