Givebutter

Free-to-start fundraising and donor CRM platform for nonprofits, funded through optional donor tips.

Visit Givebutter Alternatives

Givebutter is a fundraising and light donor-CRM platform for nonprofits and community fundraisers, notable for a free core tier funded by optional donor tips rather than mandatory platform fees. It covers donation forms, peer-to-peer and event fundraising, ticketing, auctions, and a built-in donor CRM with campaign and contact reporting; its analytics are again reporting on donors and campaigns inside its own system rather than a separate BI tool. A paid "Plus" tier adds automation, advanced reporting, texting and data-hygiene tools, priced by contact volume. Givebutter is aimed at small and mid-sized nonprofits, schools and grassroots fundraisers who want a modern, low-friction alternative to Blackbaud or DonorPerfect, and it competes with Fundraise Up on the donation-checkout side of fundraising.
