    Additional Details—Givebutter is completely free thanks to 100% optional tips received from donors. If you'd prefer to hide tips, an industry-low Platform Fee applies instead based on the campaign type you’re using (1% for donation form, 3% for fundraising pages, and 5% for events). No matter which option you choose, all transactions include standard Processing Fees of 2.9% + 30¢ for all payment methods except ACH, which offers a reduced rate of 1.9% + 30¢ per transaction. These fees are charged by payment processors and allow funds to be deposited into your account regardless of what payment method your donors choose. More than 95% of donors on Givebutter cover fees when asked, resulting in an average campaign fee of less than 1%.

    Givebutter
    The site has built-in flexibility for fundraising shops of all sizes to use it for various needs - we used it for a special event but it could also be used to handle a Day of Giving campaign. We liked that donors could use the built-in social/email features to advertise their support to gain additional donations

    Givebutter provides more flexibility in designing your campaign or event on the site ...others are more suited for only a Gala or auction and Race Roster was more than we needed and was confusing to our guests
