Top 7 Reasons Why 10,000+ Non-Profits Raise Funds with WP Charity

Nothing should stand in the way of supporting your cause. Here's why 10,000+ smart business owners, event organizers, and web developers love WP Charity, and you will too!


AMBASSADORS, SUPPORTERS & VOLUNTEERS

Turn your supporters into passionate ambassadors for your cause

Harness the power of peer-to-peer fundraising to grow your organization's reach and raise more money.

WP Charity is the premier plugin for running powerful peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns in WordPress. You can use it to leverage your supporters' network of friends and family to reach more people, helping you spread awareness for your cause and grow your fundraising in an organic way.

Organizations like Mellon Educate have started using p2p fundraising as a key way for them to expand their reach. With a WordPress plugin like WP Charity, your organization can take a leaf out of their book and run your own peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, directly from your website.

Save thousands compared to hosted peer-to-peer fundraising platforms

Unlike most peer-to-peer fundraising platforms, WP Charity does not charge any transaction fees. For peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns, which typically raise a lot of money, this adds up to significant savings.

Consider this: With a hosted platform charging 5% for every transaction, your organization would lose $5000 on transaction fees for every $100,000 you raise. By contrast, you can get WP Charity with an affordable annual fee, saving you thousands of dollars.

Easy fundraiser creation

Creating a fundraiser should be a fast, easy process for your supporters. With WP Charity, you can customize your fundraising setup form and make it as streamlined as possible.

Crowdfunding: Build a personal fundraising platform

The WP Charity plugin also allows you to create a crowdfunding platform, similar to GoFundMe. Simply enable the option for campaign creators to set up campaigns for personal causes, and they will be able to create fundraisers for their own need.

Give people a place to fundraise for their own cause and build a crowdfunding platform focused on your local area, a specific cause, or your own unique angle.

Can I generate tax receipts for my donors?

Yes, and it's easy. Receipts go out automatically after the donation, from WooCommerce. Plus, you can customize the receipt template to include your organization's information and branding.

Can I customize donation forms to match my website's branding?

Absolutely. WP Charity uses the block editor out of the box. It also provides a set of shortcodes to show various features. If you'd like to keep everything consistent with your site's design and identity, that's the default option.


Why WP Charity?

WP Charity distinguishes itself by leveraging the robust WooCommerce infrastructure to handle all payments, gateways, taxes, fees, emails, and reporting out of the box — eliminating the need for any additional extensions and ensuring a complete donation platform with a single purchase. In contrast, Charitable and GiveWP offer comprehensive donation features but rely on paid add-ons for advanced gateways, reporting, and integrations. Across key features — payment gateways, recurring donations, fundraising campaigns, donor management, and reporting — WP Charity matches or exceeds its competitors while simplifying setup and reducing costs.

  2. No Add-On Dependencies With WP Charity, features such as peer-to-peer fundraising, recurring donations, donor management, and reporting come bundled in the single plugin purchase, sparing organizations from the complex web of multiple subscriptions required by Charitable Pro and GiveWP add-ons.

  3. Seamless Donor Management By using WooCommerce's well-established customer system, WP Charity centralizes donor profiles and purchase histories in the standard WooCommerce dashboard — no separate donor database or custom tables needed — whereas competitors necessitate separate donor modules or premium extensions.

  4. Comprehensive Reporting WP Charity taps into WooCommerce's advanced reporting capabilities, offering real-time donation analytics (including taxes, fees, campaign breakdowns) without extra cost — while Charitable and GiveWP restrict robust analytics to paid report add-ons.

  5. Professional Email & Tax Handling Leveraging WooCommerce's native email templating and tax settings, WP Charity ensures tax-compliant receipts and customizable notifications effortlessly — features split across several paid extensions in competing plugins.

Overall, WP Charity provides a complete, cost-effective, and straightforward fundraising solution powered by the familiar WooCommerce ecosystem — delivering advanced features without the plugin-and-extension maze of its rivals.
