    Nonprofits use Givebutter to replace multiple tools so they can launch fundraisers and events, use donation forms and donor management (CRM), send emails and text blasts. Instead of charging a traditional SaaS subscription fee, Givebutter is free to use with a transparent tip-or-fee model. Givebutter has been certified as a Great Place to Work® in 2021 and 2022, and its founders Max Friedman, Liran Cohen, and Ari Krasner were recently featured on Forbes’ 30U30 list for Social Impact.

    Additional DetailsGivebutter 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%.—

    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

    • Too many options so it can be hard to navigate.
    • Requires a deeper HTML understanding to really get the most out of it.
    • Would be better if the interface was similar to other original Blackbaud products.

    It can be overly complex and requires a deeper HTML understanding than most outside of IT have.

    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

    While everydayheroPro and CrowdRise are easy to set up, already mobile friendly, have great interfaces, and are customizable, they lack some base capabilities that come with TeamRaiser, such as the ability to control the donation form, email capability, database syncing, badges/milestones, and custom pages. The everydayheroPro system has great potential, and we use it for our smaller DIY campaigns, but its support knowledge bank and customization is still so limited and can be frustrating to use because of it.

    • Introduced our constituents to DIY fundraising.
    • Provided another revenue stream that provides nearly $100,000 extra a year.
    • Gets our constituents involved in the cause in another way.
    • We've found a niche by using TeamRaiser in companies.
    • Has provided more donor interaction for lower-tier giving groups that might otherwise receive little communication and stewardship from us.
    • Seen returning participants raise more money year-after-year.
