Givebutter celebrates $5B donation milestone

It took Givebutter seven years to reach our first billion dollars in donations. 

Only seven months later, we reached $2B. 

Another seven months have passed, and we’ve more than doubled that amount: Givebutter has powered over $5B for good causes—and counting. 

Kneadless to say, Givebutter is growing. Fast. With no signs of slowing.

We’ve just wrapped up another year of tremendous success, crushing our goals while launching multiple new product lines and closing a $50M funding round. 

Givebutter has seen phenomenal growth in users, transaction volume, and the impact we're making for changemakers across the globe. We're empowering nonprofits to raise more and keep more of what they raise, so they can do more good.

So why is Givebutter resonating so powerfully?

It boils down to a few key things:

We're obsessed with our users. We listen, iterate, and build features that solve real problems. Our user-centric approach is baked into our DNA. In 2024 alone, we resolved 15,472 customer requests and launched 180 features—all driven by direct input from our vibrant community.

From the start, our mission has been to empower the changemaker in all of us. We believe that everyone has the power to make a difference, and we're providing the tools and resources to help them do just that. 

In turn, our passionate community of changemakers, our users, are our biggest advocates. They love Givebutter, and they're spreading the word. Givebutter boasts the most reviews and ranks #1 on G2 across several categories, including fundraising, nonprofit auctions, and donor management.

We’re solving major problems for an entire sector. There are 1.8 million nonprofits in the United States, all working to make a difference with limited resources. Fundraising teams are frequently understaffed, saddled with cumbersome legacy software, and juggling a patchwork of tools that cost precious time and money. 

Givebutter is committed to innovating for changemakers. We’ve helped thousands of nonprofits transform their Frankenstein-like software stack into a smooth, simple, and powerful system that meets their needs. 

We’re building a truly all-in-one platform. From small but critical product improvements to major feature launches like mailings and Givebutter Plus, every new and updated tool we release moves us further along this trajectory of being the easiest-to-use, all-in-one nonprofit fundraising and CRM platform. 

“Before, we were paying for a donor database with Bloomerang, an email tool with MailChimp, and then for any events, we would also have to pay to outsource ticketing. We ultimately chose Givebutter over other CRMs because it could do everything all in one.” - Mary Grace S., Marketing & Development Director, Unless U 

Givebutter is creating a seamless, intuitive solution that handles everything from donations and events to CRM and marketing, all under one roof. 

‍We’re growing our team of exceptional people. Givebutter is made up of a fast-expanding group of driven, dedicated professionals—the salted butter of the earth—who are passionate about our mission and committed to our success. 

A few recent promotions and key new hires have me particularly pumped for Givebutter’s future.

Givebutter’s new VP of Engineering, Keith Kirk, is an engineering leader with a history of building and scaling teams in dynamic environments at growth-stage startups like Heap and Classy. Our new VP of Growth, James McNiece, is a growth expert who was a leader in Product and Operations at Squarespace and Dropbox.

And with my co-founder, Liran Cohen, now elevated from CTO to CTPO (Chief Technology Product Officer), Givebutter’s longtime Director of People, Lucy Winterhelder, promoted to VP of People, and our VP of Marketing-turned-VP of Revenue, Matt Carufel, promoted to Chief Revenue Officer, I have a visionary leadership team at my side creating ambitious plans for the future. 

And we’re just getting started. 

In 2025, we are recommitting to the things that make Givebutter the most-loved nonprofit fundraising and CRM platform, creating a world where doing good is easier, more accessible, and more impactful.

The nonprofit sector is huge and growing. Digital fundraising is the future, and Givebutter is leading the charge. 

I hope you’ll join us in our vision to empower the next billion changemakers as we ignite a movement where every nonprofit can flourish. We’re empowering communities to raise more, keep more, and do more good—making the world a kinder, more connected place.

Let's make the world butter, together. 💛
