What it is
Generous is an online donation platform for charities and nonprofit organisations. Its embeddable forms accept credit cards, debit cards, direct debit, and PayPal, while donors can schedule monthly, quarterly, or annual gifts. Supporters can also donate by text message through Generous smart SMS technology. Fundraising teams get campaign dashboards, donor search, reports, donor-data export, and donor-profile editing. Campaigns can run across multiple web pages and websites. Donor records can be imported from Excel or CSV, and offline or imported transactions have no per-transaction cost. Integrations include Salesforce CRM, Xero accounting, Stripe, eWay, and PayWay. Generous describes itself as a fundraising platform that interfaces with CRMs, not a CRM itself. The Startup plan is free at free, Growth is A$50 a month, and Enterprise is A$350 a month. Custom plans are offered for expected online donations above $1m.
