Givebutter Becomes the First Fundraising and CRM Platform to Offer Built-In Visa Spend Cards, Closing the Gap Between Fundraising and Impact

Givebutter is the easiest-to-use, all-in-one nonprofit fundraising and CRM platform, empowering millions of changemakers to raise more, pay less, and give better

New Visa cards let nonprofits spend directly from Givebutter Wallet the moment funds settle, with built-in expense management. No bank transfers, no separate accounts, no waiting—and no fees.

AUSTIN, Texas, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Givebutter, the leading nonprofit fundraising platform and CRM, today announced the launch of Spend Cards: physical and virtual Visa cards that let nonprofits spend directly from fundraising proceeds. The launch marks the first time a fundraising and CRM platform has offered built-in Visa cards and represents a major expansion of Givebutter Wallet, transforming it from a place to hold funds into a complete financial operating system where organizations can raise, grow, and spend their money. Spend Cards give nonprofits a free expense management solution with the speed and flexibility to put funds to work the moment they become available.

Until now, fundraising platforms have helped nonprofits raise money, manage donors, and run campaigns, but their visibility and support ended the moment funds left the platform for a separate bank account. That often resulted in staff fronting personal expenses, juggling multiple financial systems, and wasting valuable time on reconciliation while waiting for money to process. Spend Cards address this by giving nonprofits direct access to funds in their Givebutter Wallet and eliminate the need to transfer funds to their bank account before spending. Together with APY Rewards, which enables organizations to earn 2.5% APY on funds held in Givebutter Wallet, Spend Cards expand Givebutter's integrated financial offering and give nonprofits more control over their resources.

The launch of Spend Cards is the latest example of Givebutter's commitment to building innovative solutions for nonprofits. Earlier this year, the company was named one of Fast Company's 2026 Most Innovative Companies. Givebutter was recognized in the Social Good category for its efforts to modernize fundraising and financial operations for mission-driven organizations.

"Your fundraising platform should accelerate your mission, yet too often, nonprofit teams are waiting on bank transfers just to buy supplies, pay a vendor, or cover an urgent program expense," said Max Friedman, CEO and co-founder of Givebutter. "The moment funds settle, they should be available to spend. Spend Cards give organizations the control and flexibility to move at the pace their mission demands."

Spend Cards help organizations move faster without sacrificing oversight by combining direct access to fundraising proceeds with built-in expense management, security controls, and visibility within the Givebutter Wallet dashboard. Organizations can set spending limits aligned with budgets and monitor transactions in real time. Powered by Stripe's financial infrastructure, issued in partnership with Celtic Bank, and accepted anywhere Visa is accepted, Spend Cards provide nonprofits with flexible access to funds while maintaining strong security and reliability. Funds held in Givebutter Wallet are also eligible for FDIC pass-through deposit insurance when applicable requirements are met, enabling nonprofits to manage and deploy funds with confidence.

"Fundraising platforms are evolving into complete financial infrastructure for nonprofits, and Stripe is excited to partner with Givebutter to power that shift," said Paul Kramer, Head of Stripe for Nonprofits. "Spend Cards connect fundraising and spending in one place, so organizations spend less time on financial operations and can put more of every dollar, and every hour, toward their mission."

Virtual and physical Spend Cards work in-store, online, at ATMs—anywhere Visa is accepted. Organizations can create a virtual card in minutes and add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay for immediate use, and physical cards arrive within 7–10 business days. While virtual cards are ideal for recurring subscriptions and online purchases, physical cards empower field staff and enable ATM withdrawals (up to $300/day) for cash needs.

Givebutter Wallet users can deploy Spend Cards for free. There are no subscription costs or card fees.
