Charity fundraising platforms are digital tools designed to assist nonprofit organizations, individuals, and communities in collecting funds via online channels. These platforms help simplify fundraising processes, broaden reach through social media and digital marketing, and provide real-time tracking of donations to enhance the impact of charitable efforts.
The primary categories of charity fundraising platforms include crowdfunding, peer-to-peer fundraising, event fundraising, donation management, and others. Crowdfunding platforms enable individuals, organizations, or businesses to gather money from many people, usually through small contributions, to support a cause, project, or venture. These platforms employ technologies such as mobile apps, web-based interfaces, social media integration, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and data analytics tools. They are available in different deployment models, including cloud-based and on-premises solutions. These platforms serve various purposes, including social networking, electronic commerce, consumption scenes, content sharing, and critical illness fundraising, with major users being nonprofits, NGOs, educational institutions, and religious groups.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the social services market by increasing costs for essential goods, assistive devices, and digital infrastructure-critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Providers of healthcare, elderly care, and community support services now face squeezed budgets, as many government contracts and funding arrangements limit their ability to pass on higher costs. The uncertainty has also delayed investments in digital transformation and telehealth platforms, hindering efforts to expand service accessibility and efficiency. To adapt, organizations are prioritizing local sourcing, forming collaborative purchasing agreements to reduce costs, and embracing low-cost digital solutions to maintain service delivery amid fiscal pressures.

The charity fundraising platform market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by rising demand for data-driven donor insights, greater adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning, expansion into emerging markets, the emergence of subscription-based giving, and stronger regulatory focus on transparency and impact reporting. Key trends anticipated include advancements in AI-powered donor analytics, innovations in blockchain-based donation tracking, improvements in mobile-first and contactless payment platforms, incorporation of remote engagement tools such as livestreams and virtual events, and the development of hybrid fundraising models combining online and offline approaches.
The growing adoption of peer-to-peer fundraising is expected to drive the expansion of the charity fundraising platform market in the coming years. Peer-to-peer fundraising involves individuals raising funds on behalf of nonprofit organizations by engaging their networks through social media, events, or digital campaign tools. This growth is fueled by an increase in socially driven participation, where people are more motivated to support causes shared by friends, family, or influencers, based on trust and emotional connections formed in digital environments. Charity fundraising platforms facilitate peer-to-peer fundraising by providing tools for campaign creation, donor engagement analytics, and social media integration, making these efforts more scalable and accessible. For example, in 2024, PeerToPeerForum, a US-based platform for peer fundraising insights, reported that America's Top 30 peer-to-peer fundraising programs collectively grew by 3.0%, marking the third consecutive year of post-pandemic growth. The Heart Walk raised $110 million, 18 programs experienced growth, Velosano doubled its revenue to $14.5 million through major gifts, the Walk to End Alzheimer's increased participation by 16,000, and the T1D walk saw a 20% rise in turnout. Thus, the increasing use of peer-to-peer fundraising is contributing significantly to the growth of the charity fundraising platform market.
