Donately

Donately is an online fundraising platform for accepting donations and managing donor activity. It provides branded donation pages with custom messaging, branding, drag-and-drop editing, mobile optimization, and recurring giving. Campaign pages can include rich media, live fundraising thermometers, peer-to-peer and team fundraising, custom branding, and social sharing. Donation forms and widgets embed on websites, landing pages, or blogs without redirects or coding. Donor tools include profiles, donation tracking, segmentation, automated receipts, reporting, exports, and retention insights. Native integrations include HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Slack, and Constant Contact, while Zapier connects to thousands of tools. An API supports sending or updating donation information in external systems. Payments can use Stripe or PayPal, Google and Apple wallets, multiple currencies, and one-time or recurring gifts. Donately lists PCI compliance, HTTPS on forms, fraud-prevention tools, and GDPR and CCPA support. It runs on the web and through an API. A free plan is available; paid plans start at $99/mo.
