Givebutter named #1 Best Nonprofit Software of 2026 by G2

Mr. Butter is jumping for joy! 🥇

G2’s Annual Software Awards were announced this week, and Givebutter earned its biggest recognition yet: #1 Best Nonprofit Software of 2026. 

While Givebutter has previously received top honors across fundraising, donor management, and other nonprofit categories, this latest award stands apart. It recognizes Givebutter not just as a top product for stand-alone tools, but as the leading all-in-one software serving nonprofits across their technical needs. 

But what makes this milestone especially meaningful is that the results are powered entirely by verified reviews from real nonprofit professionals. 

No judging panel. 

No paid placements. 

Just feedback from the changemakers who use Givebutter every day. And that means this win belongs to you! 

What the G2 Best Software Awards mean for nonprofits

Choosing the right nonprofit tools is no easy task. 

As the largest online tech marketplace, G2 helps 100 million people each year find the best software for their needs, ranking products based on authentic, timely reviews from verified users. G2 brings together real customer feedback with publicly available market presence data, examining review quality and volume to provide the most objective, accurate picture of user experience and overall satisfaction.

In more than 1.5K five-star reviews, Givebutter users most frequently celebrate the platform’s ease of use, fundraising capabilities, and intuitive design. For several years, we’ve proudly held the top spot across multiple G2 categories, including: 

• Fundraising
• Donor management
• Nonprofit CRM
• Auction software

The consistent recognition from real nonprofits for our ease of use, value, and quality of support has been the backbone of our product growth and improvement—and that makes this special honor in the Best Software Awards even sweeter.

Check out what changemakers had to say about Givebutter in just the past few weeks:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Givebutter helps us manage fundraising, donor data, and communications in one easy-to-use platform. This saves time in accessing multiple platforms, training, and follow-ups, which creates more time to focus on donor relationships.
— Michelle S., Development Director at FLYY

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Formerly, we were using a mixture of Excel spreadsheets, QuickBooks database, and Mailchimp. Givebutter helps us unify everything under one roof, and we're already seeing improvements to our campaigns. We're also very excited to try the physical mailings feature, so we're not spending hours licking envelopes on our own!
— Andy S., Board Director at Concord Scout House

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I like how easy Givebutter is to use, especially since most team members are tech-shy but still find it extremely helpful. I really like how well it integrates into websites without a clunky design, making it feel natural. It also streamlines ticket sales through a user-friendly platform, allowing us to identify ticket purchasers and reach more guests and members.
— Rebeka H., Board Member at Choral Art Society of New Jersey
