How it worked

Changemakers joined the Givebutter Fam

Participating organizations needed to sign up for a free account, verify their nonprofit, and choose how they wanted to fundraise on Giving Tuesday. They could create a fundraising page, a fundraising event, or an auction.

Nonprofits submitted their campaigns

Participating organizations could start accepting donations on or leading up to Giving Tuesday, but they needed to raise at least $500 and have submitted their campaigns by 11:59 PM PST on December 3, 2024, to be considered for a donation from Givebutter.

We announced donation recipients LIVE!

Givebutter announced this year’s Most Engaging Campaigns during our webinar on December 10. The five donation recipients then used Givebutter’s $5K matching donation feature to encourage donors to maximize their impact through the end of the year.

For the five Most Engaging Campaigns, we’re looking for fundraising efforts that…

  • Effectively show your organization’s mission and impact 📣 Bring your campaign’s story section to life through engaging videos, photos, graphics, impact statistics, campaign updates, or livestreams.
  • Leverage Givebutter’s top-rated fundraising tools 🧈 Make the most of free features like peer-to-peer fundraising, team fundraising, text-to-donate, custom donation amounts, comments in the supporter feed, recurring donations, and more.
  • Inspire community engagement 🔥 Display how you've rallied your community right on your page with a fundraising goal bar, peer-to-peer or multi-team fundraising, volunteer opportunities, supporter feed engagement, or any other creative idea you have.

The five Most Engaging Campaigns will be alerted on Friday, December 6, and can receive a $5K matching donation immediately using Givebutter’s pledge payment request link. You can then use the matching donation opportunity to mobilize and encourage donors to maximize their impact through the end of the year.

We will also publicly announce and celebrate all donation recipients at our webinar on December 10. Register for free –>

If you are already using a match on your campaign, great! You should still apply. If selected, you can create a new match with an additional $5K added on.
