GiveNow vs Greater Giving

GiveNow is a web-based Australian fundraising platform for small and medium-sized charities and not-for-profit organisations. Organisations can collect one-off or recurring donations, customise forms, and embed those forms on their own websites. The service also covers peer-to-peer CrowdRaisers, memberships, event ticketing, and grant search. Supporters may create unlimited individual CrowdRaiser pages, while organisations can review pages before publication. Listed donor payment methods are Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Apple Pay, and direct debit. GiveNow lists Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack and Google Analytics integrations, plus CSV export for donor and donation data. It says data is stored in Australia, sensitive information is encrypted, and OrgHQ uses multifactor authentication, role controls, and 24/7 monitoring. Donor credit-card details are not stored. There are no upfront or subscription fees; platform fees range from 1.5% to 3.5%, with a commonly listed payment-provider fee of 0.26%.
