Why Schools & PTOs Switch to CoreCause
No donor tipping. Ever.Parents never get prompted to add a percentage on top of their gift to cover platform costs. The full contribution goes to the classroom, the trip, or the program. Givebutter's tip prompt and Donorbox's platform fees both quietly redirect family dollars away from the school.
Donors can cover the fees.Every online donation carries a processing fee. CoreCause simply lets donors cover it at checkout, so the full amount they give reaches your cause.
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.Funds clear to your account by the next business day. Givebutter, Donorbox, and most school-fundraiser platforms typically take 2 to 5 days. Some product-catalog fundraisers hold the money for weeks.
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, with no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees. Explore and build your campaigns first, then go live when you are ready.
