Our take
The rise of crowdfunding has helped democratize fundraising for for-profit companies, but the infrastructure for non-profits has lagged behind. Givebutter has set out to change this, supplying a feature-rich, easy to use fundraising platform for the "changemakers of today", which has been used to raise billions of dollars for good causes.
Crucially, unlike other crowdfunding platforms, 100% of the donation typically goes to the campaign, with Givebutter making its money entirely through tips and occasional but transparent transaction fees. In 2022, the company raised capital that has been put to work developing the product to be fit for all types of fundraising.
Having already seen impressive success in certain segments, these new development efforts will help expand Givebutter's reach. For example, it launched a CRM to help it reach more small, local nonprofits, and has released the industry's first donor-advised fund (DAF) donate button, through which donors can recommend a nonprofit for a donation in just three clicks.
