Overview

Bonfire is web-based peer-to-peer fundraising software centered on supporter-created T-shirt campaigns for nonprofits. Supporters can create and share fundraisers on an organization’s behalf, with money raised sent directly to the nonprofit. Organizations can create profiles with their story, branding, links, and selected campaigns, then use a no-code editor to add text, images, and video to campaign pages. They can also make design templates for teams or supporters to customize. Bonfire provides supporter names, contact details, and purchase or donation amounts for viewing or download, plus CSV exports for CRM import. Donor data can sync with GoFundMe Pro and be sent to CRMs such as Salesforce. Payouts are available through PayPal, check, or ACH. Campaign selling is free, while additional contributions have an 8% processing fee, reduced to 3.5% for verified nonprofits. Nonprofit features require proof of 501(c)3 status; nonprofits outside the U.S. cannot currently be verified. The fundraising platform is free for verified nonprofits. Essentials costs $8.25 USD per month billed yearly, and Super costs $24.92 USD per month billed yearly.
