In their own words
Charitable
Charitable is a self-hosted WordPress plugin for donation campaigns and fundraising. A visual drag-and-drop builder provides live preview for campaign creation, while campaign pages, recurring gifts, automated receipts and donor records support ongoing fundraising. The free Charitable Lite plan costs nothing and includes unlimited campaigns and donations. It accepts Stripe, Square, PayPal and offline donations; Pro adds ten more payment gateways. Recurring donations begin with Plus, and peer-to-peer fundraising begins with Pro. Donor management includes profiles, giving history, notes, and adding, editing or deleting donation records. Charitable says it integrates with 5,000+ email marketing, CRM and payment platforms and keeps data within the customer’s WordPress website rather than storing sensitive information. Paid plans start with Basic at $69 a year, billed yearly. Paid plans include ticket support; free users use the WordPress.org forum. The plugin requires WordPress 5.9 or later and PHP 7.4 or later.
