Givebutter Wrapped 2025: Doughn’t stop believing

You asked. We delivered. Givebutter took our mission of empowering the changemaker in all of us to new heights in 2025, launching more opportunities than ever for nonprofits to raise more, pay less, and take every dollar further for their cause. 

Keep reading for the full spread on the 2025 accomplishments we’re most proud of, and what’s on the horizon as we continue to grow the easiest-to-use, most-loved home for nonprofit fundraising and donor management. 

Givebutter 2025 by the numbers

This year has brought enormous challenges for nonprofit organizations, and our priority has been to listen to changemakers as they navigate fundraising headwinds and uncertainty about the future. 

To meet the moment, we’ve doubled down on our commitment to transparency, excellence, and access for nonprofits as they continue to adapt, grow, and inspire generosity. 

The biggest new features & improvements we churned out  

Your feedback again powered our 2025 roadmap. From administrative improvements, like company contacts, soft credits, and updated roles and permissions, to powerful new financial features, we were proud to equip nonprofits with more time-saving tools to make a greater impact in their communities. 

Smoother event management 🎟️

Bid farewell to friction. In addition to auction improvements, we released several tools to simplify event planning and power more impactful gatherings, whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid.  

• Registration fundraising 👥 Organizations can simplify signups and increase participation with event registration and peer-to-peer fundraising in one seamless flow.
  
• Event seating 🪑 Sticky notes and seat-shuffle stress? Toast. Create and customize seating arrangements with drag-and-drop simplicity.
  
• Enhanced mobile app capacity 📱 Sell tickets at the door, view assigned seating at a glance, process donations on the spot, and offer seamless check-in with QR code scanning for an elevated IRL experience. 

We used to rely on separate tools for registration and fundraising. Now, everything lives on our Givebutter page. Our community shows up, and we get to meet them right where they are—with a beautiful, easy-to-use platform. – Hayley Joyce, Summit Center

Smarter donor data 🤓

The less time spent on the back-end, the better. This year’s CRM enhancements further simplify donor management, freeing up time for what matters most. 

• Moving donations between campaigns ⏩ Our most requested feature ever, with over 1,600 upvotes, this update enables users to transfer online contributions and recurring donations between campaigns at any time.
  
• QuickBooks Online 💰 Another highly requested feature, this native integration is available for Givebutter Plus subscribers, ensuring that all donations, ticket sales, and recurring gift data flow directly into your accounting software. ‍
• Magic Migration 🪄 Switching CRMs shouldn’t derail your mission. Our team extracts, maps, and imports your data in days, not months.

Before, we were paying for a donor database, an email tool, and we would also have to pay to outsource ticketing. We ultimately chose Givebutter over other CRMs because it could do everything all in one. – Marye Grace Sauermann, UnlessU 

Even more ways to give 💸

In addition to offering donors the widest range of payment options, including expanded DAFpay providers, we introduced several new, modern tools for collecting donations in person and online.

• Cash App Pay 💸 Givebutter became the first fundraising and CRM platform to offer native Cash App Pay, powering $1M+ in Cash App donations in 2025.
  
• Meta fundraising integration 👍 Turn your nonprofit’s Facebook posts and Instagram stories into seamless donation opportunities.

As a one-man show, Givebutter has made it very easy for me to secure and fulfill pledges right from my dashboard. In just a few weeks, I’ve been able to secure $1.5M in funding. – Dr. Sanjay Bindra, GOSUMEC Foundation USA

Giving back the Givebutter way  

This year wasn’t just about features—it was about the impact real nonprofits are making for their communities. Changemakers of all stripes showed up in record numbers to raise funds, celebrate wins, and spread good together.

Here are a few of the moments that made 2025 unforgettable:

March Matchness 🏀

Inspired by the excitement of March Madness, Givebutter launched March Matchness in 2024 to showcase the power of matching gifts for nonprofit fundraising. 

This year, hundreds of nonprofits submitted their campaigns for a chance to receive a matching donation from Givebutter. Our panel of fundraising experts chose the three most engaging campaigns, and each received $5K from Givebutter to rally their supporters and build momentum toward their fundraising goals.

Changemaker Summer 😎

A season-long celebration of grassroots generosity, this summer initiative spotlighted the creativity, hustle, and heart that changemakers on Givebutter bring to their fundraising efforts. 

Changemaker Summer provided nonprofits with the opportunity to explore innovative ideas, witness inspiring campaigns in action, and discover the best resources to fuel their summer goals and beyond.

Black Philanthropy Month 🌟

For our fourth year celebrating Black Philanthropy Month (BPM), Givebutter donated $10K to Black-led nonprofits and organizations that support and uplift Black communities. 

Your donation isn’t just a gift — it’s a message that Black and Brown girls matter, and their wellness is worth investing in. THANK YOU for standing with us. – Lisa French, B’Fly Girls, Inc.

This year was particularly meaningful because our very own Floyd Jones, who brought Givebutter into the BPM movement during his tenure as Community & Partnerships Director, now houses Black Philanthropy Month within his own nonprofit, BackBlack—truly a full-circle moment.

Givebutter Cares Fund 💛

In response to the Flipcause cease-and-desist order and troubling reports from customers citing major payout delays and withheld funds, we launched the $1M Givebutter Cares Fund for Flipcause customers.

All nonprofits deserve transparent access to their hard-earned funds, and we were proud to step up for these changemakers during a difficult time—and without requiring an ongoing commitment on their part.
