Givebutter is an end-to-end fundraising platform where organizations of all sizes can raise funds, host events and auctions, track donor data, and send messages to donors in one place.
GoFundMe is a popular crowdfunding platform for individuals looking to raise money online, but it lacks the engagement tools many organizations are looking for.
Givebutter is free thanks to optional donor tips.
The fee charged by our secure payment processors is 2.9% + 30¢ except ACH, which offers a reduced rate of 1.9% + 30¢ per transaction. Donors can choose to cover these fees (which 95% do!).
If you'd prefer to disable tips, a platform fee applies instead:
→ 1% for Donation Forms
→ 3% for Fundraising Pages
→ 5% for Events & Auctions
GoFundMe does not charge a platform fee, but it does ask for tips from donors.
GoFundMe’s payment processing fee is 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction, which is automatically deducted from every donation.
GoFundMe users do not have the option to disable donor tips, and donors do not have the option to cover payment processing fees.

We quite literally raised over 10 times as much money on Givebutter compared to last year’s event using GoFundMe. I can’t say enough how awesome this platform is for fundraising, and also how much fun we had using it.
