Givebacks review
Fundraising, family communications, events, and payments share a school-focused platform.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Givebacks brings fundraising and community operations together for K–12 schools, districts, PTAs, PTOs, booster clubs, and nonprofits. Its tools cover crowdfunding, a-thons, ticketed events, auctions, raffles, sweepstakes, and direct donations, alongside school payments, communications, directories, and a family-facing app. That breadth suits organizations looking to coordinate campaigns and family-facing activities in one platform, rather than focus only on fundraising transactions.
Fundraising options include one-time and recurring donations, campaign progress tracking, and audit-ready reports. Organizations can also use supporter records with customizable fields and donation and purchase history, plus email newsletters, text messages, and audience lists. Storefront and point-of-sale tools include order reporting; the family app handles donations, payments, purchases, receipts, and event tickets. Web, iOS, and Android access support staff and families across devices, while Stripe is the listed integration. These connected community tools are a fit for schools that need fundraising alongside events, communications, and family engagement.
The pricing model combines free fundraiser options with annual subscriptions: the free options use either optional tips or a 7.5% platform fee, while Pro is $499 per year and Premium is $599 per year. According to Givebacks' published plans, Pro adds onboarding with a dedicated customer support manager, access to all platform tools, account codes for bookkeeping, and unlimited email for up to 50,000 contacts. Premium includes Pro and one-on-one sessions with a live support representative. Partner adds unlimited users, customizable compliance tools, transaction reports, and multi-chapter or group reporting. Choose Givebacks if your school or group values a broad set of fundraising and family tools; compare alternatives if you need a narrower fundraising workflow or Pro's contact limit does not fit your needs.
