What GiveSignup is
GiveSignup is a free platform for nonprofits running peer-to-peer fundraising events, including runs, walks, and cycling events. It brings registration, donations, fundraising, volunteering, marketing, and event-day tasks together. Organizers can set up individual and team fundraising pages, leaderboards, milestones, badges, rewards, and donation appeals. Each event includes a customizable website and email marketing with unlimited contact uploads and sends. Its mobile CheckIn App supports QR code scanning, group and team check-in, on-site registration, volunteer management, and fundraising totals. GiveSignup lists no subscription or monthly fee. Transaction fees are calculated on the cart total: free events have no processing fee, while paid-event rates vary by cart total; donations have a flat 4% fee. Organizers can absorb donation fees, pass them on, or ask donors to cover them. An open API, Zapier, and export options connect event data with other services. GiveSignup is built by RunSignup; the fundraising platform launched in July 2019.
