What is Givebutter? đ¤Š
Givebutter is an all-in-one nonprofit fundraising platform that combines donation forms, fundraising pages, events, auctions, peer-to-peer fundraising, donor management (CRM), email marketing, payment processing, financial management, and more into a single system.
Instead of juggling multiple tools for fundraising, CRM, email, events, reporting, and managing funds, nonprofits can manage everything in one easy-to-use platform with Givebutter.

Is Givebutter really free? đ¤
Yes! Givebutterâs core fundraising, marketing, and CRM features are free to use. Givebutter uses a transparent tip-or-fee pricing model. When optional donor tips are enabled, your campaign is covered by the Givebutter Guarantee, which means no platform fees and no processing feesâyour nonprofit keeps 100% of the funds you raise, even if donors donât cover fees.
If you choose to disable donor tips, a flat 3% platform fee applies, plus standard payment processing. Accounts created before September 9, 2025 may still be on Legacy pricing, which has a 5% platform fee. This gives nonprofits flexibility while keeping pricing predictable and transparent.
