Companies Using Donorbox

Nonprofits, and unusually clearly. 31.74% of the organisations we can identify are classified as non-profit organisations, with Civic and Social Organizations at 6.48%, Non-profit Organization Management at 4.7% and Religious Institutions at 3.13% — close to 46% explicitly nonprofit. Named examples include Panthéon-Sorbonne, Harmony Public Schools, SEO London and Le Monde International.

We detect 6,565 domains running Donorbox across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 4,778 of them (72.8%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 658 domains carried a Donorbox detection previously and no longer do.

Donorbox holds 5.84% of the Donations & Fundraising category, ranking #3. This is a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category — not a share of all websites, and not a share of spending — so it is not directly comparable to figures published on other denominators.

The top alternatives to Donorbox include GiveWP (28% market share), Patreon (18.95% market share), Ko-fi (5.69% market share), Buy me a coffee (5.16% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.

The United States dominates with 3,113 of the organisations we can place, roughly nine times the United Kingdom in second (337), then Canada (129), Australia (99) and the Netherlands (95). US nonprofit fundraising is a far larger and more instrumented market than any other.

The most common company size is 1-10 employees, representing 75.32% of the Donorbox domains we could match to a company record and size — a subset of 4,778 matched companies, not of all 6,565 detected domains. This is followed by 11-50 employees (18.41%) and 51-200 employees (4.36%).

Among the Donorbox domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, most were founded in the 2020s (26.59%), followed by the 2010s (40.79%). That matched subset is drawn from 4,778 companies and is not representative of all 6,565 detected domains. This suggests Donorbox is most popular among relatively young companies.

The ideal Donorbox customer is: Company Size: 1-10 employees, Industry: Non-profit organisations, Location: United States, Founded: 2010s or later, Signal: An embedded donation form — based on our analysis of 4,778 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.

We detect Donorbox on 6,565 active domains as of our August 2026 crawl, third in the Donations & Fundraising category at 5.84%. Unlike most of this category the detection is largely a real install: we match its widget script, its JavaScript globals, and iframes or links pointing at donorbox.org.

Yes, and there is a number for it. 72.8% of Donorbox domains match a company record, against 33% for Patreon and 25% for Ko-fi. Donorbox sits on organisation websites, so a company database can actually see its base. The creator platforms in this category sit on personal sites and are largely invisible to the same instrument.

GiveWP is the real competitor, and it is much larger in our data at 31,478 domains against 6,565. GiveWP is a WordPress plugin, so it only serves WordPress sites; Donorbox is an embeddable widget that works anywhere. They sell to the same buyer: 1.76% of Donorbox domains also carry GiveWP, the highest overlap either has with anything in this category.

Rarely, and not to a rival. Of the 598 domains that dropped Donorbox entirely, 8 now run Fundraise Up and 4 run GiveWP. The GiveWP figure is 0.67% against a 1.76% rate among domains that kept Donorbox, so leavers are less likely to be on GiveWP than stayers. Small nonprofits do not run procurements on donation widgets.

75.32% have 10 employees or fewer and 18.41% have 11 to 50. Small charities, congregations and community groups. Note the contrast with the creator platforms in this category at 88% to 92% in the smallest band: Donorbox's base is small but institutional.

Google Workspace on 38.65% — the highest in this category and the clearest organisation signal in the data — plus WordPress 42.44%, RSS 49.06%, Google Analytics 49.48% and GoDaddy 22.37%. A small nonprofit on WordPress with a business email domain.
