GiveSignup review
A free, event-focused platform combining fundraising, registration, communications, and event tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GiveSignup is a peer-to-peer fundraising and event platform for nonprofit organizations running campaigns alongside events. It brings together individual fundraising pages, team pages, event registration, donations, participant management, volunteer registration, communications, and event-day operations. Supporters can create personal pages, join teams, share campaigns, and collect donations, while organizations can manage event websites, payments, and participant data through web, iOS, and Android platforms.
Pricing is straightforward: the platform has no subscription or monthly plan and is free to access. Transaction processing fees apply, with published pricing showing 4% for donations and event processing fees based on cart total. The feature set included at no subscription cost covers customizable fundraising pages, team captains and leaderboards, donation levels, receipts, corporate matching integrations, unlimited email marketing, automated fundraising communications, mobile check-in, and on-site registration. This structure suits nonprofits that prefer costs tied to fundraising and event activity rather than recurring software charges.
GiveSignup’s main advantage is breadth within event-driven fundraising. Custom event websites, donation thermometers, self-service participant management, volunteer tools, and mobile check-in reduce the need to assemble separate systems for a campaign. Integrations with Salesforce, DonorPerfect, Mailchimp, Zapier, Double the Donation, HEPdata, Google Analytics, and Meta Conversions API extend its fit for organizations with established donor, marketing, and analytics workflows. Nonprofits seeking a free platform for organized fundraising events should consider GiveSignup; organizations focused on fundraising without an event-led operating model may prefer a narrower donation platform.
