Companies Using Givebutter

I analysed Givebutter against our September 2026 crawl, and the first question is what the number counts. We detect Givebutter on 8,873 websites, and 6,989 of them match an organisation record. Every one of those sites loads a Givebutter script, and when we opened a sample in a real browser, all 32 of the sites we could test loaded Givebutter.

What the crawl sees, and what it misses

There are two ways to take a Givebutter donation online. A nonprofit can send donors to a campaign page hosted on givebutter.com, or it can put Givebutter on its own site as a widget. We only see the second. Of the 5,093 domains where we logged which Givebutter file loaded, 4,262 use the current loader from widgets.givebutter.com, 758 the older widget.js and 669 Givebutter Elements, and some load more than one. A plain donate link or an iframe-only embed never reaches our detection.

That makes 8,873 a floor, and a particular kind of floor. It is the organisations that built giving into their own website, which takes more setup than sharing a campaign link.

Sales signal: treat this list as Givebutter users who have wired donations into their own site. If you sell nonprofit websites, donor CRMs or email tools, these organisations have already invested effort in online giving.

Two points on the chart

We added Givebutter detection on 4 August 2026. The chart therefore starts with a partial month, 6,253 websites in August, and reaches 8,873 in September. Every domain live today was first seen after 4 August. Two things on our side moved that number. The new detection was still filling in across our crawl, and the domains we crawl turn over every month, with dead sites dropping out and newly discovered ones added. Neither tells you how fast Givebutter itself is growing.

"Givebutter only looks new in our chart because we started watching it in August. Every domain on it was first seen after that date, so read September as a measurement, not a trend." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: use the list for targeting. Timing signals will have to wait until the series covers a few more months.

Small, American and mostly charitable

71.99% of the 6,870 matched organisations with a known size employ 10 people or fewer, and only 26 employ more than 1,000. Geography is simpler still. 6,430 of the matched organisations with a known country are in the United States, and no other country has more than 10. Three nonprofit labels (Non-profit Organizations, Civic and Social Organizations, and Non-profit Organization Management) cover 46.88%, and much of the rest is family services, mental health, the performing arts and churches filed under service labels.

Age is where the base surprised me. More than half were founded after 2009, but 291 predate 1960. The Legal Aid Society dates from 1876, the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids from 1866 and the Community of Christ from 1830. A fundraising tool launched in 2016 now takes donations for institutions that are well over a century old.

Givebutter's own homepage names United Way chapters, Boys and Girls Clubs, Meals on Wheels America and the Salvation Army in Texas among its users. Our crawl finds the same kind of organisation independently: Orange County United Way runs Givebutter across five domains.

Sales signal: filter on the United States and the 1 to 50 employee bands, which hold 92.08% of matched organisations with a known size. At that size the buyer is usually the person who runs the organisation, so pitch to them directly.

One account, one website

Givebutter's loader carries an account id, which lets us check whether a few large customers are spread across many domains. They aren't. The 4,255 domains with a readable id belong to 3,953 separate accounts, about 1.08 domains each. The largest account covers 9 domains, all run by Aish, a Jewish education organisation (aish.com, aishglobal.com, its conference site and a dating site). Orange County United Way has 5, and so do the Metro YMCAs. Those are one organisation's sister sites. We found no template copied across unrelated charities.

Some organisations do answer on more than one address. In our random browser sample, 6 of 22 sites redirected to another domain belonging to the same group, such as footballforlife.org to worldchanging.org.

Sales signal: here the domain count is a fair stand-in for the number of organisations. Merge redirecting aliases before you size a campaign.

WordPress, Squarespace and a plugin

Across the 8,994 domains where Givebutter is live today, WordPress runs on 50.4% and Squarespace on 27.75%. The WordPress share is no accident: 1,750 domains, 41% of those with a readable account id, load the widget through Givebutter's WordPress plugin. Hosting follows the same small-organisation pattern, with GoDaddy on 27.26%, WP Engine on 7.47% and Bluehost on 4.89%.

Marketing tools are thin. The Facebook Pixel is on 15.69%, about one site in six, and Google Ads conversion tracking on 6.28%. Mailchimp is the most common email tool at 7.52%, with SendGrid (3.74%) and Constant Contact (3.54%) behind it, and at least four in five of these sites show none of the six email tools in our stack table.

Sales signal: email is the opening. Givebutter includes its own email tools, which may explain part of it, but for email vendors and nonprofit agencies four in five sites with no email platform is a lot of open ground.

Where Givebutter sits among donation tools

Our category tables file Givebutter under Payment Processing, where it ranks 18th with 0.11%, because it handles the payment side of each gift. That is why the competitor table shows PayPal and the card networks. Among donation tools the comparison needs care, because each one is detected differently. GiveWP, a WordPress plugin matched on its own script, is on 32,934 domains. Donorbox is on 6,935, but its count includes plain links to Donorbox pages, which Givebutter's does not. Patreon, Ko-fi and Buy Me a Coffee are counted from profile links, and they serve creators rather than charities.

Very few sites run two donation tools. Among Givebutter's live domains, GiveWP appears on 258, Kindful on 138, Fundraise Up on 76 and Donorbox on 45. We can't see a switching pattern yet either: in seven and a half weeks of tracking, no movement between Givebutter and another donation platform reaches 25 domains.

"Givebutter ranks among payment tools because it processes the gift, but nonprofits compare it with GiveWP and Donorbox. On a script-only count it already runs on more websites than carry any Donorbox signal." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: if you sell a donation platform, the Givebutter list is mostly single-tool sites, so winning one means replacing Givebutter rather than sitting beside it. If you sell to nonprofits, it is a clean list of organisations that already take money online.

Key takeaways

1. 8,873 websites and 6,989 matched organisations load Givebutter's script; link-only users are not counted.

2. 6,430 of the matched organisations with a known country are American.

3. 71.99% employ 10 people or fewer, yet 291 were founded before 1960.

4. 4,255 domains map to 3,953 accounts, close to one site per organisation.

5. 1,750 domains install through the WordPress plugin, and Squarespace runs on 27.75% of live domains.

How to use this list

Start with the United States and the 1 to 50 employee bands. Combine the three nonprofit industry labels rather than filtering on one, and merge alias domains that redirect to the same organisation. For vendors selling into nonprofits, the stack columns are the sharpest filter on the page: a Squarespace or WordPress site with a Givebutter widget and no email platform is a well-defined prospect.
