Eventgroove Fundraising vs GoFundMe Pro

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.

GoFundMe Pro is fundraising software for nonprofits, with tools for online campaigns, peer-to-peer giving, and events. Its drag-and-drop builder lets organizations create fundraising pages without coding, and donation forms can use their branding and be embedded on their websites. Donors can give on a recurring basis, with Venmo and Apple Pay among the listed payment methods. The platform also supports event registration and check-in, livestream fundraising, and Nonprofit Pages on GoFundMe. GoFundMe Intelligence uses AI and campaign data to tailor donation forms; reporting includes donor, transaction, campaign, and channel data. Listed integrations include Salesforce, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Constant Contact, Mailchimp, and HubSpot. GoFundMe Pro describes native Salesforce integrations for Nonprofit Cloud, Education Cloud, and Sales Cloud, with NPSP support. Essentials has no subscription or setup fees, though additional fees and add-ons may apply; custom pricing is listed for larger organizations. Organizations must be headquartered in the United States, but their programs can operate globally.
