Get started free. No credit card. No contracts. No surprises.
Honest reasons, no fluff. What makes CoreCause different from Givebutter, Donorbox, Classy, and the legacy fundraising platforms.
Your donors never get prompted to add 15% on top of their gift to cover platform costs. Their full donation goes to your mission. Givebutter and Donorbox both default-on a tip prompt that quietly redirects donor dollars away from your cause.
You see what you actually pay: the interchange the card networks set, plus 0.50% + $0.15. No stacked platform fees. No hidden percentages. The math is the math.
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.
Donations clear to your account by the next business day. Givebutter, Donorbox, and Classy typically take 2 to 5 days. PayPal Giving Fund can take 15 to 45 days.
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.
Month-to-month. No setup fees on the Starter plan. The Free plan is genuinely free and never expires. Explore the platform with zero financial commitment.
