Givebutter

Overview

Givebutter is an online fundraising platform from Givebutter, Inc. whose core tools, including a donor CRM, are free and funded by optional donor tips. Money transmission is provided through Stripe, with funds held at Fifth Third Bank^[11].

With tips enabled, nonprofits pay no platform or processing fees, and the Givebutter Guarantee covers any fees donors do not; the company says 92% of donors cover fees. With tips disabled, a flat 3% platform fee applies plus processing of 2.9% plus 30 cents for cards. The free CRM has unlimited contacts and users^[11].

Givebutter Plus is an optional upgrade priced by contacts, listed at US$29, US$79 and US$129 a month, with a 30-day trial. It adds automated workflows, task management, reporting, texting, video messages, discounted direct mail, QuickBooks Online integration and priority phone support. Support for all users is available round the clock by chat and email. Givebutter’s annual Plus prices on the page did not match its monthly equivalents at review, and the CRM is less deep than dedicated donor databases^[11].
