Donor checkout, table-host banquets, peer-to-peer, and faith fit, compared using each vendor’s published information.
If you run table-host banquets and vision dinners, or you’d rather your donors never see a tip request for your software company, FundEasy is built for you, by a team that serves faith-based organizations.
Givebutter is a fundraising platform for nonprofits, schools, student groups, and sports teams, with giving pages, peer-to-peer, recurring giving, and event ticketing.
Givebutter’s free plan is paid for at your donor’s checkout: it asks each donor for a tip to Givebutter, and tips stay on unless you turn them off. With tips off, you pay a 3% platform fee plus 2.9% + 30¢ processing.
For events, Givebutter offers named-table assignment, check-in, and auctions. It does not advertise table hosts or meal choices, approximates sponsorships with ticket bundles, and lists a visual floor plan as planned.
FundEasy is fundraising software built for faith-based nonprofits, with giving pages, crowdfunding, peer-to-peer, recurring giving, and unlimited events in one account.
FundEasy never asks your donors to tip FundEasy. Checkout asks for a gift to your mission, donors may choose to cover processing, and your organization pays a subscription with a 0.7% platform fee plus Stripe processing.
FundEasy’s Vision Dinner lets hosts invite their own guests, sponsors sign up for your approval, and guests choose meals, with drag-and-drop seating, Live Check-in, and the Groups & Hosts and Meal Choice Reports. It connects to eKYROS for pregnancy centers.
Your donor’s last screen asks for a gift to you, not a gift to us. Givebutter’s checkout includes a tip to Givebutter unless the organization turns tips off and pays a 3% platform fee, per Givebutter’s pricing help article.
The banquet model most faith-based organizations run: hosts fill tables with people they invited. Givebutter does not advertise it.
A sponsor form, your approval, and the sponsor shown on the public page by tier. Givebutter approximates sponsorships with ticket bundles.
Faith is the reason we exist. We build fundraising software to make it easier for you to fulfill your God-given mission, and we see ourselves as your partner in ministry. Our team brings past and current nonprofit experience to every customer we serve. On Givebutter, churches are one audience among nonprofits, schools, student groups and sports teams.
FundEasy connects to eKYROS, the EMR used by over 1,600 pregnancy centers, by API key.
