Giving Tuesday 2025

Turn generosity into growth

To celebrate changemakers and stack generosity for Giving Tuesday 2025, Givebutter offered a zero-fee fundraising guarantee, a 1% donation match, and 2.5% rewards on every dollar raised and stored in Givebutter Wallet.

Givebutter’s 1% match on all Giving Tuesday donations

Givebutter matched 1% of every dollar raised and stored in Givebutter Wallet for Giving Tuesday 2025. Wallet rewards your impact, keeps your funds secure, and puts your dollars to work instantly.

How it worked

Sign up and raise funds

Changemakers were invited to create their free Givebutter account, verify their nonprofit, and launch a Giving Tuesday fundraising page, donation form, or event. Thanks to the Givebutter Guarantee, campaigns with optional tips enabled paid no platform or processing fees!

Open Givebutter Wallet

The next step was to set up Givebutter Wallet and set it as the organization’s primary payout method. All settled donations land in Wallet automatically each day, earning 2.5% APY rewards while you fundraise!
