Eventgroove Fundraising vs Givebutter

Eventgroove Fundraising is a web platform for nonprofits and other organizations running online, in-person, or hybrid fundraisers. Organizers can use it for raffles, auctions, crowdfunding, sales, A-thons, and sweepstakes, with peer-to-peer fundraising pages that participants can customize. Built-in promotion options include text-to-give, social sharing, email integration, and QR codes. For hybrid events, organizers can livestream in-person events while remote supporters bid or donate by text. Donation pages, including recurring-gift pages, have no service fee, though Stripe processing fees apply. Payments pass through the nonprofit’s Stripe account, with funds deposited within a few days. The platform accepts donations in 36+ currencies from donors in over 135 locations, and pages are optimized for mobile donors. It connects with Eventgroove Events for registration and membership data, and Eventgroove Products for printed fundraiser materials and merchandise. Its free Tip Pricing plan charges no service fee when donors skip the optional tip; auction items carry a 4.9% fee capped at $100. Campaign pricing is locked once a campaign goes live.
