GiveWP – Donation Plugin and Fundraising Platform

If your organization lives on donors who come back, not on a loose donate button

Setting up donations in WordPress often ends with a PayPal button pasted on a page, with no idea who gave, how much, or whether they will give again. For a nonprofit, money that does not repeat is the most expensive money to win. GiveWP is built for those who want to collect donations and also build a relationship with the people who give.

It suits an association, foundation or church that wants its own forms on its website, campaigns with a visible goal and a profile for every donor. It also suits those starting with a single form who want to grow without switching tools.

It is not the best choice if you only want a quick link to receive a one-off payment, or if you need another platform to manage everything for you. Here you are the one who configures forms, gateways and emails, and who is responsible for how your donors' data is handled.

Forms that ask only for what you need from each donor

The form builder is drag and drop and lets you add custom fields to capture whatever data your organization needs.

• Campaigns with a goal: you set a target and show fundraising progress in real time.
• Automatic PDF receipts: branded, prepared for tax purposes and with tributes and dedications included, with no need to send them by hand.
• Fee coverage: the donor can choose to cover processing costs so more money reaches the cause.

Payments from a phone and from outside your country

GiveWP works with Stripe, PayPal and Square, and adds more than a dozen international gateways to reach donors in other countries. Forms adapt to mobile and support Apple Pay and Google Pay, as well as text-to-give.

This is useful when your community gives from their phones, for example after seeing a social media post. The fewer steps the form has, the fewer donations are lost along the way.

Turning a one-time gift into a regular one

Recurring giving is where you gain stability: the donor chooses whether to give daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually, or you set the schedule in advance.

• The donor can update their payment method, and pause or resume their subscription without opening a ticket with you.
• Automatic notices are sent for renewals, payment changes and confirmations.
• You can track subscription performance, recurring revenue and each donor's lifetime value.

Let your supporters fundraise for you with GiveWP

With peer-to-peer fundraising, each supporter gets their own campaign page, customizes their goal and shares it by email and social media. You see each person's progress, total raised and reach.

You can show public leaderboards and create team campaigns for some friendly competition. It works best if you already have a committed base of people: the tool multiplies reach, but it does not create it from nothing.

One profile per donor to look after the relationship

Every donor has a profile that brings together their gifts, forms and channels. You can add tags, notes and segments to personalize messages. It also connects recurring gifts with email sync.
