Sign up for a new account 💛
To get started, enter your first and last name, work email address, and create a password (8+ characters). This information creates your user profile and will be used to log in to your Givebutter account.
Next, you’ll indicate whether you’re signing up as a nonprofit:
Nonprofit – Select this option if you’re a tax-exempt organization with an EIN. You can search for your organization by name or EIN.
Other – Select this option if you’re an individual, business, or another type of organization.
If you choose Other, you’ll be asked to provide a few additional details, such as your country and ZIP or postal code.
If you're registering as a nonprofit and your EIN isn't found in our system, please ensure that you have an active profile with Candid, a nonprofit database.
If you choose Other as your organization type, you are still able to enter an EIN and verify your nonprofit at a later date. If you verify an Other account, your account type will automatically be changed to Nonprofit in our system.
Once you’ve completed this step, click Continue to move on to the next part of the account setup process.

Next, you’ll answer a few quick questions about your organization and fundraising plans, including:
How much do you plan to raise online this year
Whether you have an upcoming event
What tools do you currently use to collect donations and manage donors
How many contacts do you have
How did you hear about Givebutter
Your answers help us personalize your dashboard and recommend features that best support your fundraising goals.
Click Continue to dashboard to finish the process. You'll be redirected to your dashboard, where you can customize your account and start your first campaign!
After sign-up ✅
Signing up automatically creates an Account (the organization you are representing) and a user profile called My Profile (your personal information). If you need to manage or view your profile, you can click your profile picture in the top right corner of the Dashboard and select My Profile from the drop-down.
Please note that after 7 days of inactivity, users will be logged out and must log in again.
Create an account from an existing account 👯
Every user on Givebutter can be a member of unlimited accounts. You can create, manage, and switch between accounts without setting up multiple users and passwords – a single login gives you access to each account. To create a new account when you have an existing account:
From your dashboard, select the dropdown arrow next to your account name.
Then click Create new account. This will direct you to the same signup process shown earlier in this article.
Once you've completed setup, you can toggle between your accounts by clicking the dropdown menu on your dashboard!
