Givebutter gives back

Both existing and new Givebutter users are eligible to apply. To be considered for a Giving Tuesday donation from Givebutter, your campaign must:

• Be hosted on a Givebutter-powered fundraising page or event
• Be run by a verified nonprofit organization‍
• Be actively raising funds between October 29 and December 3, 2024
• Raise a minimum of $500 by 11:59 pm EST on December 3, 2024
• Be submitted no later than 11:59 pm EST on December 3, 2024

If your organization holds nonprofit status with the IRS, you may qualify for verified status on Givebutter. While groups that do not have verified nonprofit status cannot be considered for a donation from Givebutter at this time, you can still take advantage of Givebutter’s free fundraising tools this Giving Tuesday!

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.

We’ll be sharing top tips and best practices for making your campaign the best it can be during dedicated Office Hours all throughout the month of November!

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—stay tuned for more event details!

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.

Yes! Each month, every Givebutter employee receives a $50 stipend to donate to the verified Givebutter campaign of their choice. Throughout the day on Giving Tuesday, our team will receive a list of the most active campaigns (those with the highest number of unique donations within an hour-long window) and will have the option to contribute their stipend to one of them!
