The AI-native fundraising platform. Start at 1%. AI agents at 2%. No tips. No tricks.
Other platforms call themselves ‘free’ — then ask your donors for 15–18% tips at checkout. GiveLink charges a transparent fee, includes AI agents that actually know your donors, and sends every dollar where it should go.
First $25,000 raised is completely free. No credit card required.

Autonomous AI Agents
Three autonomous agents monitor your campaigns, nurture your donors, and clean your data around the clock. You review and approve — they handle the rest.
Runs every morning at 6 AM
Analyzes campaign pacing, flags stale approvals, delivers briefings before you open your laptop. Tracks every campaign against target and auto-escalates if you're behind.
“Your annual appeal is 23% behind pace. Gala is at 130% — I've drafted a goal increase for your approval.”
“3 pending donation acknowledgements over 48 hours. I've drafted all three — review and send with one click.”
“Monday briefing: $4,200 raised this week across 3 campaigns. Summer Drive needs attention — 61% to goal with 8 days left.”
Included in Pro
Watches every donor relationship
Detects lapsed donors, writes personalized re-engagement from real giving history, flags upgrade opportunities, and sends anniversary recognition automatically.
“Maria hasn't given in 94 days. Drafted a re-engagement email referencing her $500 in food pantry gifts last year.”
“12 donors hit their 1-year anniversary this week. Personalized thank-you emails drafted for each — referencing their total impact.”
“James gave $50/mo for 6 months, then stopped. Pattern suggests a $75 upgrade ask would re-engage. Draft ready for review.”
Included in Pro
Cleans your database overnight
Verifies addresses via Melissa Data, surfaces duplicates, scores data quality, and keeps your donor records pristine while you sleep.
“Found 47 outdated addresses. Corrected 43 overnight. Mail deliverability: 82% → 96%.”
“Detected 12 likely duplicate contacts. Merged 9 automatically, flagged 3 for manual review (different emails, same address).”
“Data quality score improved from 71 to 89 this month. 340 records enriched, 28 bounced emails cleaned.”

The real cost of “free”
Some platforms say they're free. Then they flip the iPad around and ask your donors to leave an 18% tip. Here's the truth.
| GiveLink | Zeffy | Givebutter | Classy | Fundraise Up | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Platform Fee | 1–2% | “Free”* | 0% or 3% | ~2.2%+ | 4% |
| Donor Tips | Never | Pre-selected 15% | Pre-selected 15% | None | None |
| Monthly Fee | $0 | $0 | $0–$279 | $299+ | $0 |
| Features | All included | Limited | Tiered | All included | All included |
| Payouts | Automatic daily | Delayed | Manual | Varies | Automatic |
| Real cost on $100K raised | $1,000–$2,000 | $12,000–$18,000 | $12,000–$15,000 | $5,800+ | $4,000 |
You know that moment at the self-checkout when the screen flips around with a default 18% tip pre-selected— and you're just trying to buy a coffee?
That's what “free” fundraising platforms do to your donors. They show a pre-checked tip box — 15%, 17%, even 18% — at the moment someone is trying to support your cause. Most donors don't realize they're tipping the platform, not your nonprofit.
Imagine a pet groomer flipping an iPad around with a 20% default tip after washing your dog. Or a parking meter asking for gratuity. That awkward “tip at the self-checkout kiosk” feeling? That's what your donors experience on tip-based platforms.
* “Free” platforms report average donor tips of 12–18%. On $100K in donations, that's $12,000–$18,000 your donors paid — they just didn't know it was going to the platform.
