Nonprofits Raise $4 Billion Through Donorbox as Giving Continues to Evolve
The milestone reflects growing fundraising momentum on the platform as the nonprofit sector adapts to shifting donor behavior
ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Donorbox, a leading fundraising platform trusted by nonprofits worldwide, today announced that organizations using its platform have raised more than $4 billion in online donations, helping fund the charitable causes that communities rely on. With donor counts and retention rates declining in recent years, this milestone proves that generosity is still out there and that the right technology partners help attract it.
The announcement comes at a pivotal moment for the nonprofit sector. According to the Fundraising Effectiveness Project, of which Donorbox is a data partner, total charitable giving increased 5% in 2025 even as the number of donors dropped 3.6%, with the steepest losses among small donors. Despite ongoing fundraising pressures across the industry, donors made a record 10.6 million donations through Donorbox in 2025—the highest annual total in the company’s history and a sign of continued fundraising momentum on the platform.
"Hitting $4 billion is a milestone our entire team is proud of, but the credit goes to the organizations doing the hard work—the faith communities keeping congregations connected, the humanitarian teams rushing aid to crises, and the local shelters protecting vulnerable animals," said Charles Zhang, founder & CEO of Donorbox. "Nonprofits are navigating real headwinds right now, and yet demand remains high. We remain dedicated to building the tools that help them inspire supporters and raise money effectively."
To help nonprofits navigate a changing fundraising environment, Donorbox continues to expand its product features designed to attract and retain donors both online and in person:
- Turning one-time donors into lifelong supporters: Recurring giving grew 10% year-over-year in Q1 2025, with 555,000 recurring donors now active across the platform. These loyal donors retain at twice the rate of first-time givers.
- Making in-person giving as easy as a tap: Donorbox Live™ Kiosk has driven more than $5 million in cashless donations. Organizations using this solution have seen an average 157% increase in monthly giving after adoption, with individual gifts reaching as high as $30,000.
- Helping nonprofits raise more during events: Organizations have sold more than 700,000 tickets and raised nearly $50 million through Donorbox Events. It remains one of the few event platforms that enables donations during checkout and shows tax-deductible ticket values.
- Giving supporters what they know and trust: The new Donorbox OmniGive™ donation form supports more than 22 payment methods and fully customizable branding, helping nonprofits create a seamless giving experience across devices.
- Building stronger relationships: Enhanced email marketing capabilities within Donorbox CRM allow organizations to easily segment and engage donors, volunteers, board members, and other supporters from a single platform.
