Alvarum vs Give2You

French and European charities and associations running cause-based or sports-challenge fundraising who want donations paid directly to the beneficiary and support for European local payment methods.

• ✓Donations are routed directly to the beneficiary charity and settled on an automated monthly cycle rather than held by the platform.

• ✓Tight integration with Eventmaster events: registrants can auto-generate a customizable fundraising page.
• ✓The established fundraising partner for major Irish events such as the Irish Life Dublin Marathon.
• ✓Powered by Stripe, with funds paid directly to each beneficiary in real time.
• ✓No setup or subscription charges for charities to onboard.
