Givebutter is an all-in-one fundraising and donor management platform designed to help nonprofits, charities, schools, organizations, and community groups raise money and build stronger relationships with their supporters. Instead of requiring organizations to use separate platforms for donations, donor management, events, auctions, and communication, Givebutter brings these functions together in one centralized platform.  

The platform provides customizable donation forms and fundraising pages that organizations can use to collect online donations and promote individual fundraising campaigns. Fundraisers can create branded campaign pages, share them with supporters, and track fundraising activity from a centralized dashboard. Givebutter also supports fundraising events, including virtual, in-person, and hybrid events, as well as ticket sales and auctions.  

One of Givebutter’s key features is its built-in donor management CRM. Organizations can track donor transactions and supporter activity, organize contacts, create segments, and generate reports. This gives nonprofit teams a centralized view of their supporter relationships and makes it easier to manage donor engagement over time.  

Givebutter also includes marketing and engagement tools that help organizations communicate with their supporters. Teams can send personalized email campaigns, campaign updates, and direct mail while using segmentation and other personalization features. Automated workflows can also help with tasks such as donation receipts, event tickets, event reminders, and supporter communications.  

For organizations hosting fundraising events or auctions, Givebutter provides tools for auction management and mobile bidding. These features allow supporters to participate from their mobile devices while organizations can manage items, bids, payments, and fulfillment information through the platform.  

Givebutter also offers a built-in financial product called Givebutter Wallet. According to Givebutter, the Wallet provides a financial home base for nonprofits, including rewards and spending capabilities through Spend Cards.  

A major part of Givebutter’s model is its free fundraising offering. With optional donor tips enabled, Givebutter states that nonprofits pay 0% platform fees, with the Givebutter Guarantee covering processing costs that donors do not cover. If optional tips are disabled, a 3% platform fee applies, along with applicable payment processing fees.  

Organizations that need more advanced functionality can use Givebutter Plus. Paid features include automated workflows, task management, advanced email tools, texting, custom reports, expanded data visualizations, file uploads, data hygiene tools, and discounted direct mail. Givebutter Plus starts at $29 per month for accounts with fewer than 250 contacts when billed annually.  

Overall, Givebutter provides nonprofits with a centralized platform for fundraising, donor management, events, auctions, marketing, and supporter engagement. Its combination of free core fundraising tools, CRM functionality, communication features, and event management makes it useful for organizations looking to manage more of their fundraising operations from one platform.
