0% Platform Fee Model

 

With this model, your cause will incur a 0% platform fee, making it ideal for organisations that prioritise stability. It offers a fixed, low cost that remains constant regardless of donor behaviour.

Your cause can be confident that 100% of each donation will be received, minus a small transaction fee. This model also yields higher conversion rates, helping your cause raise more.

We provide full transparency for donors, so unlike other leading fundraising platforms, there are no hidden costs. Donors can choose their contribution amount freely.

Additionally, you benefit from mobile payment options and a variety of free fundraising tools and features to enhance your fundraising efforts.

Donor Cover Fee Model

This model allows donors to cover our 4.5% platform fee, along with the transaction fee, on behalf of the cause.

If a donor chooses to cover both fees, the cause will receive 100% of the donation. If the donor does not opt to cover the fees, both charges will be deducted from the donation amount received by the cause.

This model offers the option for donors to cover both fees, though it is less predictable as it depends on donor generosity.

The Donor Cover Fee model also supports mobile payment options and provides a range of free fundraising tools and features to help causes raise more.
