About Givingplatforms

Givingplatforms is an editorial comparison site for donation crowdfunding platforms. We cover platforms that let individuals, nonprofits, and causes raise money from donors online — not reward-based, equity, or lending crowdfunding.

The site is owned and operated by WhyDonate B.V., a Dutch crowdfunding platform that we also review. We disclose this relationship on every page and address the conflict of interest in our methodology.

What we cover

Givingplatforms covers donation crowdfunding platforms operating across Europe and beyond. We score them on fees, country coverage, local payment-method support, data residency, third-party ratings, and editorial judgment.

Who we are

Givingplatforms is researched and maintained by the editorial team at WhyDonate B.V., a crowdfunding company based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, working in this industry since 2014. The team verifies fees against each platform’s published pricing, tracks Trustpilot and domain-authority signals, and maintains the country guides. We don’t publish individual bylines; accountability runs through the published methodology and the company behind the site.

Editorial principles

• No paid placements.
• Every fee number carries a "last verified" date.
• The full methodology is public, including how we mitigate the WhyDonate conflict.
