GiveCampus is the only fundraising platform with native support for digital wallets
If you’re not already accepting Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Cash App Pay, your school is missing out. Donors of every stripe are giving via digital wallets—and many are now paying with Donor Advised Funds and cryptocurrency. It’s time.

Why PayPal and Venmo are better on GiveCampus
GiveCampus is the only educational fundraising platform that has a direct partnership with PayPal, the parent company for Venmo—so our integration is truly seamless.
Donors enjoy a consistent giving experience
PayPal and Venmo donors give through your social fundraising campaigns and giving forms—not through a separate process.
Your school name appears in Venmo feeds
Donors give to your school—not some third-party vendor. With GiveCampus, your school name always appears in Venmo feeds.
All gifts are processed and acknowledged the same way
Donors receive the same automated tax receipts and gift confirmations as with other gifts.
Funds are deposited directly into your school’s bank account
There’s no middle man—funds never pass through a third-party vendor account on their way to your institution.
All gifts appear in donation and deposit reports by default
You never have to download reports and reconcile gifts manually or try to match Venmo usernames to your donor database.
What’s Cash App Pay?
With more than 57 million active users across all ages and income levels, Cash App Pay gives your donors yet another convenient way to support the causes they care about most. That said, the ability to accept Cash App donations is especially important for those digital-native generations (looking at you Gen Z). Why? Because nearly half of Gen Z donors will abandon your form if they don’t see their preferred way to pay.
