With Givebutter, you can accept PayPal alongside Apple Pay, Venmo, Cash App, and more—without needing separate accounts.

Even with PayPal’s nonprofit discounted rates, you still need to pay for separate marketing tools or CRM software. Givebutter includes those tools for free.

PayPal helps you accept donations. Givebutter helps you fundraise. With nonprofit-focused support and live guidance, your team gets help with campaigns, donors, and events—not just payments.
With PayPal for nonprofits, organizations can accept donations through a trusted payment flow. Givebutter goes further by combining PayPal with a complete suite of fundraising, events, and donor management tools built just for changemakers.
Free forever thanks to optional donor tips
Discounted PayPal fees apply to approved nonprofits. Changemakers can enroll in PayPal Giving Fund (PPGF) for fee-free donations, but this requires separate enrollment and a different payout process.
With Givebutter, nonprofits can accept PayPal payments directly within their campaigns without incurring platform or processing fees.

How is Givebutter free?
Thanks to optional donor tips, Givebutter’s core fundraising features are free for all nonprofits. When tips are enabled, you pay $0—backed by the Givebutter Guarantee. Prefer to hide tips? Disable them and pay a flat 3% platform fee plus standard processing fees. For more advanced tools, Givebutter Plus starts at $29/month.
PayPal reviews highlight its strength as a payment processor, but it’s not built for nonprofit fundraising. Givebutter offers highly rated support designed for nonprofits, with live chat, email, webinars, and expert guidance for campaigns and donors.
