For events that live outside of Givebutter, we use the Givebutter campaign feature to send a personalized payment link with a predetermined amount, personalized message, etc. To then move it into the overarching campaign is critical for financial reporting, revenue coding, etc. Absolutely necessary for donor stewardship and admin control.

SO NECESSARY!

Agree with Kelsey...This IS a huge issue. It's also bizarre that you can reassign a credit card transaction to a totally different person, but not to a different campaign.

Please implement this ASAP! Just had to refund donations today since we couldn't move/reassign them to a current campaign.

Just adding our org to the list of folks who NEED this to be a feature of the platform. This is a huge issue for me! PLEASE MAKE THIS CHANGE FOR US, GIVEBUTTER!

This would be very helpful for our non-profit. Our donor wrote a "note" for a campaign, but donated to another. It's easier for us to track this if we are able to allocate it to the correct campaign.

Yes! Please make this happen soon.

Are there any updates on this?

I came to this page looking for this exact solution. This is incredibly important. As Clinton Williams said below, keeping our General Donation live is a must. And Robert Hartman speaks to the time wasted on manual Excel corrections -- UGH!!! We are new to GiveButter, but not new to fundraising. To see that this has been a conversation for 5 years is very sad. Please GiveButter, make it happen. We do appreciate your product and the work to make it smooth. We just need the melted butter approach :)

This feature has been requested for five years (we’ll hit that mark in a few days) and remains the top request by ~2 times over any other feature or bug fix. We were told it would arrive early 2025 and that we’d be alpha testers. Nothing has been delivered. It was marked “In Progress” in March 2024—that was 18 months ago. It should not take this long to build and release.

Because we can’t move misassigned gifts between campaigns, we cannot use Givebutter as our ledger. We’re forced to maintain separate Excel tracking just to keep reports and allocations straight—burning countless staff hours every month that should go to the mission.

The fallout for nonprofits:

1) Reporting & audits: We’re reconciling known-wrong data outside the platform.

2) Thermometers & pages: Online totals don’t add up, which visibly erodes donor trust.

3) Stewardship & finance: Thank-yous reference the wrong fund; exports/payouts require manual cleanup.

Please deliver the basics now: enable moving a transaction between campaigns with all original details intact (donor, amount, date, fees, payout batch, notes, soft credits) and recalculate thermometers/exports automatically.

Give a specific delivery date and honor the alpha-tester commitment. Five years is far too long for your most-requested fix.

Come on, Givebutter—this is your customers’ top need. Please give us nonprofits what we need.
