Givebutter automatically issues email receipts after every donation and/or ticket purchase, and notifies any campaign admins + credited team members accordingly. This feature is an incredible time-saver for nonprofit organizations in particular, who often send donation acknowledgements manually.
Here's what's included in Givebutter's automated receipts:
🙏Thank you message - When adding a custom thank you message, you can include line breaks and HTML content.
đź–Ą Campaign - The campaign section highlights your campaign and organization, with a link to your Givebutter page.
🏆 Verified Non-profits and EIN - If you're a verified organization on Givebutter, we display a yellow verification badge as well as your EIN.
đź–Ľ Custom Donation - This section highlights the member credited and displays the message or visual left by the donor.
đź’› Dedication - If a donor left a dedication, they'll see that information on their receipt.
🎟 Tickets & Event Details - The ticketing and event section makes details easily accessible.
📱Sharing - Our sharing bar allows easy sharing of your campaign on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
As an admin or team member, Givebutter also makes it super easy to follow up with an even more individualized thank you message by sending you an email notification that someone has just donated. We'll set the donor's email address as the Reply-To address, and link to their email address ("Send ____") in the email body as well:
Email received by the account admin and/or team member
If you are a nonprofit that is currently sending acknowledgments manually, automatic receipts can also be an excellent tool for speeding up the process of sending tax receipts while also reducing the margin for human error. This even works with Offline Donations, which you can process right from your dashboard.

I am part of a large high school, and our team has 70+ members. The number one problem Givebutter solves for me is providing an affordable platform to fundraise effectively. In the past, if I raised $15,000, I'd be lucky to receive $12,000 of that, since other platforms took 20–30% of the money raised. Being in a large, urban high school, EVERY DOLLAR counts. Givebutter is the BEST solution, period. Having used a number of online, crowdsourcing fundraising platforms, Givebutter has some unique advantages: team-based fundraising, fundraising through text, QR Codes, iFrame support on external web pages, different fundraising categories (i.e. tickets, crowdsourcing, or payment)... I could go on. It's the best, most equitable, easy-to-use fundraising platform I have found in 26 years of education.
