What is Givebutter? 🤩

Givebutter is the #1 free fundraising platform.

Instead of using a mix of outdated and expensive tools, Givebutter brings together everything you need to successfully raise funds, track progress, and engage your supporters. Completely free.

We offer three tools, each packed with features that work together to help you raise more for your cause.

Raise 💰

Raise is your complete fundraising toolbox - donation forms, fundraising pages, events, and much more.

Engage ✉️

If you've ever struggled to send targeted messages to your supporters based on their donation history, then you will love Engage.

Here’s some of what you can do using Engage:

Send blast email messages to your supporters.
Send text messages directly to your supporter’s smartphones. (If you don't have access to Engage yet, visit the Engage tab in your dashboard and click the Request Access button for consideration.)
Use smart segments, merge fields, campaign updates, and more to personalize the messages you send to supporters.
Let our automations send donation receipts, event tickets, event reminders, “support my cause” reminders, and more.
Design beautiful email messages and campaign updates using Canva right inside our message editor.
Measure open/bounce/unsubscribe rates to improve your messages over time.

Is it really free? 🤑

Yep! Completely free. No more contracts, no more subscriptions, and no hidden fees—ever.

Givebutter is free thanks to 100% optional tips we receive from donors. If you'd prefer to hide tips, a small platform fee applies instead.

If (and only if) you decide to disable tips, a small platform fee will be applied based on the Campaign type you’re using:

Donation form - 1%
Fundraising page - 3%
Event - 5%
