Why Organizations Switch to CoreCause
Honest reasons, no fluff. What makes CoreCause different from Givebutter, Donorbox, Classy, and the legacy fundraising platforms.
No donor tipping. Ever.
CoreCause never prompts donors to tip the platform. Donors are only ever offered the option to cover the processing fee, always their choice, so their full gift reaches your mission. Givebutter and Donorbox both default-on a tip prompt that redirects 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. Always their choice, never forced.
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.
