They also offers paid plans, starting from $11.99 per month. Available features depend on the plan you opt for.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing excludes standard Stripe processing fees of 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>3. <a id=\"post-68949-_66kr7n9p25ao\"><\/a>GoFundMe<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-119288 \" src=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-of-the-GoFundMe-homepage.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of the GoFundMe homepage\" width=\"946\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-of-the-GoFundMe-homepage.png 2428w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-of-the-GoFundMe-homepage-300x206.png 300w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-of-the-GoFundMe-homepage-1024x703.png 1024w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-of-the-GoFundMe-homepage-768x528.png 768w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-of-the-GoFundMe-homepage-1536x1055.png 1536w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Screenshot-of-the-GoFundMe-homepage-2048x1407.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 946px) 100vw, 946px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/gofundme-reviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GoFundMe<\/a> is a well-known crowdfunding platform that helps individuals across 20 countries fundraise for personal needs, natural disasters, and the charities they support.<\/p>\n<p>While they don\u2019t have a dedicated focus on nonprofit fundraising, their tools are intuitive for all skill levels.<\/p>\n<h4>Ideal for:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Organizations whose fundraising strategy is primarily focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/crowdfunding-sites-for-nonprofits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crowdfunding<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Nonprofits just starting out who don\u2019t yet require more robust fundraising features.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><a id=\"post-68949-_c0vv0753wwz7\"><\/a>Top features:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Customizable crowdfunding pages: <\/strong>Add pictures, videos, and text to tell your fundraising story and match your brand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shareable fundraising pages: <\/strong>Reach more supporters\u00a0by sharing your campaign via <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/email-marketing-tips-for-nonprofits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">email<\/a>, social media, and text.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Embeddable donate button:<\/strong> Quickly connect donors with your crowdfunding pages by embedding a donate button that links to your campaign on your website.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automated receipts: <\/strong>Acknowledge supporters with instant receipts when they donate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peer-to-peer functionality: <\/strong>Supporters can start a <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/how-to-use-donorbox-peer-to-peer-fundraising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">peer-to-peer campaign<\/a> on behalf of your organization to help you raise more and grow your reach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Drawbacks:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>GoFundMe is specifically designed to support personal fundraising and doesn\u2019t offer nonprofit-specific fundraising tools.
