Fundraise Completely Free with Givergy: Here’s How

Posted by Jordan Morris on 28 March 2025

What if you could host silent auctions, run prize raffles, sell event tickets, and collect donations—without spending a single penny?

Sounds too good to be true? With Givergy’s Donor Tip feature, it’s not. We’re thrilled to offer a simple, smart way to help you fundraise for free, so you can focus on your mission—not your margins.

What Is Donor Tipping?

The Donor Tip feature allows your supporters to voluntarily add a tip to their payment at checkout. These tips help cover Givergy’s platform costs, which means you don’t have to pay a thing.

It’s fast, flexible, and fully customisable. Here’s why fundraisers love it:

Free Fundraising? You Bet! – Donors can tip Givergy at checkout, covering platform fees so you can use all our tools without the cost.

Zero Risk, All Reward – If a donor chooses not to tip, we’ll absorb the platform fee—so your organisation stays protected.

More Funds to Your Cause – 100% of what you raise goes directly to your mission. No deductions. No surprises. Just full impact.

Covering Payment Fees – Enable the setting to ensure guests cover payment fees. Even when set to optional, over 85% of supporters choose to cover them – perfectly complimenting donor tip and ensure 100% free fundraising!
