Additional Details

—

Givebutter is completely free thanks to 100% optional tips received from donors. If you'd prefer to hide tips, an industry-low Platform Fee applies instead based on the campaign type you’re using (1% for donation form, 3% for fundraising pages, and 5% for events). No matter which option you choose, all transactions include standard Processing Fees of 2.9% + 30¢ for all payment methods except ACH, which offers a reduced rate of 1.9% + 30¢ per transaction. These fees are charged by payment processors and allow funds to be deposited into your account regardless of what payment method your donors choose. More than 95% of donors on Givebutter cover fees when asked, resulting in an average campaign fee of less than 1%.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	We reviewed more than 100 donor management software applications and found DonorSnap to be right for our organization. Sure, there are the 800 lb gorillas out there, but their cost was overall not economical for our financial budget. The DonorSnap platform is rich with features and their online support is quick to respond. In the beginning, one of our concerns was a potential learning curve in understanding the application. Frankly speaking, it is easy to navigate once you play around with it, attend a webinar and watch some of their help videos. We were not intimidated and are happy with our choice. There is probably not a donor management software that is perfect. We like that there are many user-defined fields which provide greater adaptability to meet our needs. No need for custom work. Incentivized Paul Rycus Programs & Operations Manager Read full review	The site has built-in flexibility for fundraising shops of all sizes to use it for various needs - we used it for a special event but it could also be used to handle a Day of Giving campaign. We liked that donors could use the built-in social/email features to advertise their support to gain additional donations Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review

Incentivized Paul Rycus Programs & Operations Manager Read full review	Flexibility in using the platform for multiple fundraising sources (events, direction donations, etc.) Ease of Use Ability to customize your site Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review
Cons	I really can't think of a thing! Incentivized Terry Houston Executive Assistant Read full review	Link to payment sources/systems (we had to do this multiple times before it worked) Integration with larger donor management software systems (i.e. Blackbaud) Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Without a doubt, DonorSnap does everything that I need, without causing fits of anger - unlike the previously listed programs! Reporting was an issue with all of the others; not so with DS. Being able to create a report and export into Excel to manipulate makes so much sense and the job so much easier to work with.

Return on Investment	We spend so much less time doing data entry and generating reports than we spent with our previous four database providers. This is a very inexpensive donor management system in comparison with the others that we have used saving us thousands of dollars annually. DonorSnap has more than met our business objectives of being able to track donors, donations, payments, registrations, etc. Working from the cloud provides me with quick access to information regardless of location - even the mobile app is great!
