Why Nonprofits Choose OneCause over Givebutter

Great question! If you think about it, every business is paid one way or another for their services – it helps keep the lights on! With Givebutter, this means awkwardly subjecting your supporters to expensive tips (sometimes 10% or more) beyond what they’ve already donated.

Or it means you, the nonprofit, are subjected to fees that exceed the investment you would have in partnering with OneCause. Either way, “free” makes for a less than stellar experience, which will cost you donors and dollars over time.

Givebutter suggests that all of their features are free to your nonprofit because of the tips they receive from your donors. Sometimes the suggested tips from Givebutter exceed 10%, which can seriously sour your guest experience.

Beyond this, the problem is that more of your donors, like most Americans, believe we’ve crossed a line with tipping. When 66% have a negative view on tipping, 32% are annoyed by pre-entered tip screens, and 30% believe that tipping is getting out of control – it might be time to rethink “free.”

If you wish to ask your donors for a few extra dollars to cover fees, OneCause can help you with that. Our helpful research guides you in how to ask donors to “cover costs” so they leave your event feeling like the hero!
