What it is

GiveGrove is web-based auction and fundraising software for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations. Its tools include live and silent auctions, peer-to-peer fundraising, Fund-a-Need, donation pages, event ticketing, raffles, and donor reporting. Ticketing supports individual or group tickets, pricing tiers, custom attendee questions, and check-in. Silent auction organizers can set items, opening bids, and bid increments, then monitor bidders and progress in real time. Live auction tools include paddle assignments, paddle-raise capture, and guest check-in and check-out. Organizations can run fundraisers for individuals or teams, or voting events with a chosen vote amount and period. Donation pages accept gifts outside events and allow customized amounts and page colors. Card processing costs 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction; organizations can choose whether donors cover the fee or the organization absorbs it. The free GiveBack Guarantee plan has no platform fee. Classic costs $4, paid once, with a 4% platform fee capped at $4,000 per event. GiveGrove identifies Stripe as its sole payment processor and says it does not provide CRM or donor database functionality.
