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
	Foundant CommunitySuite	Givebutter
Likelihood to Recommend	Foundant Technologies No answers on this topic	Givebutter 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
Pros	Foundant Technologies No answers on this topic	Givebutter 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	Foundant Technologies No answers on this topic	Givebutter 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	Foundant Technologies No answers on this topic	Givebutter Givebutter provides more flexibility in designing your campaign or event on the site ...others are more suited for only a Gala or auction and Race Roster was more than we needed and was confusing to our guests Incentivized Joel Cencius, CFRE CDO (Chief Development Officer) Read full review
