I love that GiveButter is free for the nonprofit. The features are easy to use and most are free. Until now, our organization has only used the free version and have raised over $36,000 since June 2024. Some donors have commented that they feel bad when they want to give us more money, and that some has to go to GiveButter - either by them making a bigger donation, or by the nonprofit receiving a smaller donation. I'm not sure how to better educate them, but some have decided to donate with cash or check instead which has worked.

Thanks so much for sharing, Miles! We're super happy to hear that your organization has raised that amount—what an incredible impact! We understand that some donors may have questions about fees. One way to help educate them is to let them know that they always have the option to cover the processing fees, ensuring 100% of their intended donation goes to your cause. But of course, every gift—whether online, cash, or check—makes a difference, and we’re so grateful for the work you’re doing! Our platform is completely free for nonprofits because we operate on an optional tip model. Each time someone donates, they can cover the processing fee, and more than 95% of donors on Givebutter choose to do so! This helps keep our platform free and accessible to organizations like yours. If you’d like to chat more about fees or have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]—we’d love to help! 😊 Keep up the amazing fundraising!
