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.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • The October 2026 Magic launch adds AI connectors, reports, and donor workflows immediately.
  • July 2026 Spend Cards close the fundraising-to-spending gap and deepen wallet retention.
  • Monthly Giving Week 2026 produced 473 nonprofits, 1.9K recurring donors, and $60K monthly gifts.

What critics are saying

  • Blackbaud, Bonterra, and Stripe can bundle similar workflows and squeeze Givebutter's margins.
  • Spend Cards depend on Stripe, Celtic Bank, and Visa; partner terms can tighten abruptly.
  • Free features plus donor fatigue threaten conversion; without higher-paid upgrades, Givebutter becomes a commodity.

What makes Givebutter unique

  • Givebutter unified fundraising, CRM, Wallet, Spend Cards, and AI by October 2026.
  • It serves 70,000+ nonprofits with free core tools and transaction-based monetization.
  • Its product-led growth and free tier create fast adoption in schools and small nonprofits.

Givebutter launches AI suite to help nonprofits with fundraising and donor management

Givebutter has launched a suite of AI tools for nonprofits at its livestream event, The Spread. The centrepiece is Givebutter Magic, which helps organisations build campaigns, analyse donor data, and connect with AI platforms like ChatGPT and Claude. The fundraising platform also introduced a redesigned email editor with integrated fundraising blocks, allowing teams to embed live goal bars and auction items directly into messages. New video messaging features enable personalised donor outreach from within contact profiles. Additional updates include pre-built reports for tracking fundraising metrics, mobile check acceptance, expense management tools, and donor portals. Givebutter also added integrations with Wix for website building and POINT for volunteer management. Following the announcements, Givebutter hosted a hackathon where nonprofit professionals tested the new features across five US cities.

Givebutter launches Visa spend cards for nonprofits to use funds instantly without bank transfers

Givebutter has launched Spend Cards, becoming the first fundraising and CRM platform to offer built-in Visa cards. The cards let nonprofits spend directly from their Givebutter Wallet once funds settle, eliminating the need for bank transfers. The Austin-based company aims to close the gap between fundraising and spending. Until now, nonprofits often had to wait for funds to transfer to bank accounts before making purchases, forcing staff to front expenses or juggle multiple financial systems. Spend Cards work anywhere Visa is accepted, both online and in-store. Virtual cards can be created in minutes and added to Apple Pay or Google Pay, while physical cards arrive within 7–10 business days. The service is free, with no subscription costs or card fees. The cards are powered by Stripe's financial infrastructure and issued through Celtic Bank.
