Be more than a name in their inbox
Celebrate a gift, share an update, mark a milestone, or simply check in. Video messages make it easy to show up personally for the moments that matter to your donors.
Record once, connect again and again

Save videos to your library and reuse them in individual sends with a personal note, so you can make outreach feel thoughtful without starting from scratch every time.

Keep track of every touchpoint
See all your sent videos in one place, including who’s watched and how they reacted. Each message is also tracked in the donor’s contact profile, so nothing gets lost between sends.
Make it personal, not complicated
Add a next step
Turn a personal moment into action with a custom message and call-to-action button that sends supporters wherever you want them to go next.
Record with ease
Record from any device or upload a video you already have, then trim, rerecord, and send when you’re ready.
Skip the extra software
Video messages is built right into Givebutter, so your videos, donor data, and outreach all live under one roof.

Frequently asked questions
What can my nonprofit use video messages for?
Send a personal thank-you after a gift, share an update, celebrate a milestone, or check in with a donor. A short message from someone on your team can help supporters feel connected to the work they make possible.
Do I have to record a new video for every donor?
No. You can save a video to your library and reuse it in individual messages. Add a personal note when you send it to make the follow-up feel relevant to each donor.
How do I create and send a video message?
Open a donor’s contact profile, record a video from your device or upload one you already have, and send it from Givebutter. The donor receives the message by email.
Can I review a video before sending it?
Yes. You can trim or rerecord a video before you send it. You can also upload a video you’ve already made.
Can I see whether a donor watched my video?
Yes. You can see who watched or reacted to a sent video. The interaction is also tracked on the donor’s contact profile, so your team can see that outreach alongside the rest of the relationship.
