What it is

GiveSignup is a free event platform for nonprofits running peer-to-peer fundraising events such as runs, walks, cycling events, and other formats. It combines registration, donations, fundraising, volunteering, marketing, and event-day operations. Organizers can create individual and team pages with leaderboards, milestones, badges, rewards, and donation appeals. Each event includes a customizable website and email marketing with unlimited contact uploads and sends. The mobile CheckIn App handles QR scanning, group and team check-in, on-site registration, volunteer management, and fundraising totals. An open API and Zapier app connect event data with services such as Salesforce, DonorPerfect, and Mailchimp, while exports support CSV, Google Sheets, Excel, PDF, and other destinations. GiveSignup lists a flat 4% donation-processing fee; organizers may absorb it, pass it on, or ask donors to cover it. Free events have no processing fee. The service runs on Android, iOS, web, and API access.
