Givingtech is a fundraising platform for nonprofits, foundations, and donor-advised funds, with a CRM, donation forms, campaigns, and email marketing in one service. The CRM tracks contacts without a stated cap, along with donation histories, donor insights, segments, and relationships. Organizations can build branded forms that embed on their sites, accept 40 currencies, and offer recurring donations and SmartSums. Campaign options include peer-to-peer, milestone, matching-gift, auction, and donation-drive formats. Email tools cover newsletters, campaigns, and automated follow-ups for unlimited donors through Amazon SES. Payments can use major cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bit, or ACH, with funds sent to the organization's Stripe or PayPal account. GivingGlobal supports local tax-deductible receipts in 35 countries. The plan is free forever, with no monthly, setup, or per-user fees; donation fees still apply. The standard platform fee is 2.9%, plus credit-card fees from 1.5% + 30¢ when donors do not cover them. Givingtech also lists Zapier and API access, and says it can sync with Salesforce, HubSpot, Raiser's Edge, and Bloomerang.
