GiveNow is an enterprise of Our Community, a centre of excellence for Australia’s 600,000+ community organisations.
GiveNow started in 2001 and sits at the unique intersection between community and technology. Since then, we've grown, become a fully-fledged service platform, and have continued to equip not-for-profits with the features and flexibility needed at the lowest possible cost.
At GiveNow, we all come to work every day because we are driven by our mission to inspire and transform giving in Australia.
That’s why we are committed to building a platform that’s intuitive, does what you need and costs less.
When you work with GiveNow, you will be interacting with our Melbourne-based dedicated team who are passionate about the not-for-profit sector. You can get in touch with them here.
GiveNow is the lowest-fee fundraising platform in Australia.
There are only two types of fees involved. GiveNow platform fees (1.5%-3.5%, depending on your plan) and transaction fees (charged by our partner payment provider). There are no other fees. This means no upfront and subscription fees, or any other hidden fees or additional costs to use the platform.
Transaction fees might apply to donations. The most common fee is 0.26%, and it varies slightly depending on DGR status and payment method. This is much lower than mainstream payment providers' fees (e.g. Stripe, Paypal, Square), which are usually 1.4%-3.5%, plus 30 cents per transaction.
We highly recommend starting with Pro Plan. Pro Plan users receive over 120% more in annual donations on average than other plans, plus you can access ALL features, as well as priority & 1:1 customer support.
