What is Givebutter? 🤩

Givebutter is the #1 free fundraising platform.

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

Is it really free? 🤑

Yep! Completely free. No contracts 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%
