Qgiv vs. Givebutter pricing
Givebutter is “free” for you, but donors pay the price (and they might not even know it!).
From your morning take-out coffee order to the cashier at your local grocery store, it seems like everyone’s asking for a tip these days. In fact, about 72% of American adults say they feel that more places than ever are asking for a tip compared to five years ago. And about 40% of American adults find the increase in tipping off putting!
With “free” fundraising platforms, donors are asked to give an additional 10-15% of their donation as a tip that goes directly to the platform. That can add up to thousands of dollars your donors are giving to fundraising platforms annually that could be going to your mission instead—not to mention a decrease in donation form conversions from donors who don’t want to tip!
Rather than using sneaky tipping practices that place the burden on unsuspecting donors, Qgiv is dedicated to transparency and ease when it comes to pricing for all nonprofits and your supporters.

| Packages range from: $0/month – $259/month | $0/month** |
