Summary

Bonfire is web-based peer-to-peer fundraising software that lets supporters create and share T-shirt campaigns on a nonprofit’s behalf, with funds raised sent directly to the organization. Nonprofits can build a profile with their story, logo, cover image, links, and selected campaigns, then create campaign pages using a no-code editor for text, images, and video. Organizations can provide templates for supporters or teams to customize for events and awareness days. They can view or download supporter contact details and purchase or donation amounts, and export CSV reports for CRM import. Payouts are available by PayPal, check, or ACH. Donor information can sync with GoFundMe Pro and be sent to CRMs such as Salesforce. The fundraising platform is free for verified 501(c)3 nonprofits; additional contributions have an 8% processing fee, reduced to 3.5% for verified nonprofits. Nonprofit features require proof of 501(c)3 status, and organizations outside the U.S. cannot currently be verified. Bonfire also lists Essentials at $8.25 USD per month billed yearly and Super at $24.92 USD per month billed yearly.
