Online fundraising

Every dollar reaches your cause.

The fundraising platform for nonprofits, churches and schools. Donors can cover the processing fee at checkout, and when they do, the full gift lands in your account.

$0a month. No platform tip, ever.

Build your campaigns free. You only go live when you are ready.

Fee coverage

Donors cover the fee. You keep the whole gift.

At checkout a donor can add the processing fee on top of their gift. When they do, the full amount they intended lands in your account and the ledger shows $0.00 in fees on that donation.

You decide whether that toggle is optional or required for your organization. There is no platform tip, and no monthly fee either way.

Ways to give

One page. Every way somebody wants to give.

A donor gives once, sets up a recurring gift, or makes a pledge for later, without leaving the page.

Split a single gift across designated funds, so a scholarship and a chapter fund come out of one donation and land in the right place.

Events and tickets

Sell tickets and tables, not just collect donations.

Tiered pricing for VIP tables, standard tables and individual seats, sold from a page in the organization’s own branding.

The page below is a live customer event page. The red, the typeface and the ticket shapes are theirs. Nothing about it looks like a CoreCause template, which is the point.

Share and track

Share the campaign. Then see which channel actually raised money.

Send a campaign to Facebook, X, LinkedIn or WhatsApp in one click, or hand out an embeddable link, an iframe or a printable QR code.

Every link is counted separately. You see the visits it drew and the donations it produced, so "where did the money come from" has an answer.

QR and embedFor print, bulletins and your own site
Put it everywhere

A link for the email, an embed for the site, a code for the bulletin.

Drop the donate link in a newsletter, paste the iframe into your existing website, or print the QR code on a flyer and a bulletin.

All of them point at the same campaign, and all of them are tracked.

Texting

Reach the list that actually opens.

Write the message, see it as the recipient will, and send a test to your own phone before it goes out.

Link a text straight to a campaign, so a Giving Tuesday push lands one tap from the donation page.

Donor records

Know who gives, and who gave last year.

Every supporter, with their total given, pledged, and when they last gave. Recurring donors are flagged, so a lapsed monthly gift is something you can see.

Export the whole thing to CSV when your board wants a spreadsheet.

Your dashboard

Watch it come in, campaign by campaign.

New donors, donation count and the total raised, for whatever period you pick.

Open any campaign for its own statistics, or share it from the same row.

Why CoreCause

Why Organizations Switch to CoreCause

No donor tipping. Ever.CoreCause never prompts donors to tip the platform. Donors can cover the processing fee at checkout, so their full gift reaches your mission. Givebutter's tip prompt and Donorbox's platform fees both redirect donor dollars away from your cause.
Donors can cover the fees.Processing fees apply to every donation. CoreCause simply lets donors cover them at checkout, so 100% of every gift reaches you. You decide how it is offered.
Automatic Card Updater.When a recurring supporter's card expires or gets replaced, CoreCause refreshes it through the card networks automatically. Most platforms make you chase them to re-enter their card. We do not.
Next-business-day payouts.Donations clear to your account by the next business day. Many donation platforms take several days to deposit, and some payout services take even longer.
Real human support.Email within one business hour. Real phone support. Real account managers. Not a chatbot that loops you back to a help article when something breaks during a campaign.
No contracts. Cancel anytime.Month-to-month, cancel anytime. Explore the platform and build your campaign before you go live, with no long-term commitment.
