Givebutter

Fundraising platform for events and donations

Overview

Givebutter is a fundraising platform that helps nonprofits, schools, and other groups raise money through multiple channels. It combines event management, ticketing, livestreaming, donation tracking, and recurring giving into one system, and supports both in-person and online campaigns. Organizations can start using the platform for free and only pay transaction fees or optional donor tips when funds are raised, with optional integrations to connect other tools. How it works: users create campaigns or events, sell tickets, run livestreams, and track donations all in one place; money flows through the platform with fees only on successful fundraising. Givebutter differentiates itself by offering an all-in-one solution that covers events, fundraising, and livestreams for both on-site and virtual campaigns, plus ready-made integrations to streamline workflows. The goal is to help organizations raise more money more easily by providing a flexible, multi-channel fundraising hub.
