Summary
Eventgroove Fundraising Platform Fee Options
How much does Eventgroove charge? Choose from two pricing methods.
FREE PRICING
Eventgroove is free to nonprofits and participants. Donors are shown a non-mandatory tip that covers the service fee at checkout. If a donor does not tip, your organization still pays $0 in service fees.
$0
- Completely free for nonprofits and participants.
- If donors don’t leave a tip, there are still no service fees
- Complete access to all features on the fundraising platform
- Auction fundraisers are charged 4.9% per item, capped at $100, under either pricing model
PERCENT PRICING
Set a fixed percent fee based on fundraising campaign types, and decide who will cover platform and payment processing fees.
4.9% to 7.5%*
- Auctions are 4.9%, capped at $100 per item; all other campaigns (raffles, sales, A-thons, crowdfunding, and sweepstakes) are 7.5%
- Choose how each fee is handled: absorb it, add it to the donor’s total as a disclosed line item, or give donors the option to cover it.
- Choose to pass payment processing fees onto the donor
- Great for large nonprofits with set budgets or organizations who prefer not to pass costs onto donors
- Complete access to all features on the fundraising platform
Why there are two pricing models
Fundraising isn’t standardized, so Eventgroove’s pricing isn’t, either.
Instead, we offer nonprofits a choice on how they’d like to handle costs.
What are the options?
Tip pricing is free of service fees for the nonprofit, with donors covering them through an optional tip at checkout. Percent pricing sets a fixed rate and lets the nonprofit decide whether they absorb it or add it to the donor’s total as a disclosed line item. Donation pages carry no service fee under either pricing option.
Which is better?
That depends on your organization. Donor tipping is widely used in nonprofit fundraising and works well for many nonprofits, and can, in some cases, translate to lower overall costs. However, other nonprofits prefer to keep the checkout clear of a tip request at the moment of giving.
What’s included
Every tool in our platform. All six campaign types: raffles, auctions, sales, A-thons, crowdfunding, and sweepstakes. All-in-one fundraising, donation pages, peer-to-peer capabilities, automated emails, the ability to connect with CRMs such as ActiveCampaign, generative AI copy assistance, Livestreaming, reports, and more fundraising features are available to anyone using Eventgroove. There are no pricing tiers or contracts. We also offer enterprise, white-label fundraising, with no contracts or upgrade fees.

Stripe payment processing fee
Donor payments will be processed through your nonprofit’s Stripe account, or you’ll create one during set up. That way, all donor payment tokens are your own.
2.9% + $0.30*
per transaction
- Eventgroove’s service fee is deducted at the time of the transaction, so the funds that are deposited in your account are 100% yours.
- Funds are deposited within a few days of when a transaction occurs.
- Nonprofits are eligible for a 2.2% processing fee. You will need to negotiate this with Stripe, and then enter the correct processing fee under your Settings >Payment Processing.
- Note: There is no option to pass the processing fee onto the donor if you choose tip pricing.
*Stripe typically charges 2.9% + $0.30 for processing. Nonprofits are eligible for a 2.2% processing fee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to questions we hear most often about what it costs to fundraise with Eventgroove.
Does Eventgroove charge a fee on every fundraising campaign?
Is there a free plan or a paid plan?
Who pays the service fee, the organization or the donor?
What does it cost to accept recurring donations?
There is no service fee on donation pages, including recurring gifts. Only Stripe’s processing fee applies.
Who owns our recurring donors’ payment information?
Eventgroove Fundraising processes donations through each nonprofit’s own Stripe account, so recurring donors’ payment tokens are stored in the nonprofit’s account. If the nonprofit changes platforms, it can request a vault-to-vault transfer of those tokens directly from Stripe.
What if my campaign includes more than one type of fundraiser?
Each fundraiser inside an All-In-One campaign is charged 7.5% under percent pricing, including auctions. The $100 per-item cap still applies to auction items. A standalone auction is charged 4.9% per item, capped at $100.
What does it cost to sell tickets to a fundraising event?
Tickets sold through the Eventgroove ticketing platform carry a service fee of 2.0% + $0.75 per ticket, capped at $9.90 per ticket. That fee is separate from the fundraising service fee. A gala with ticketed entry and a silent auction is charged the ticketing fee on ticket sales and 4.9% on auction items. Eventgroove fundraising and Eventgroove events are integrated and run from the same account and dashboard. Full cost details are on the online ticketing pricing page. Ticketing fees apply whether a fundraising campaign uses tip pricing or percent pricing.
