Why choose Donorbox over Fundraiseup?

There are many fundraising platforms, like FundraiseUp, all saying that they're better than the next - some even claiming to 2x your growth. But which one is the best for you?

Here’s why 50,000+ nonprofits in 96 countries have chosen Donorbox and raised over $1 billion.

Simple To Use

Simplicity is at the core of our work here at Donorbox. And that’s what we do for you and your donors - we make it simple.

Set up a customized campaign in just 15 minutes and start fundraising on multiple platforms.

With FundraiseUp, the process is drawn-out and far from simple.

For example, you have to request and wait for a demo before being able to kick-start your fundraising. So, the only thing going ‘Up’ here is your frustration.

At Donorbox, we help you save this time and put it to good use - actually raising funds.
