Zero Platform Fees + TipShare
Zero platform fees on donations — just standard Stripe card processing. Plus we share 10% of donor tip proceeds (after standard payment processing) back with your organization. No other platform does this.

Direct deposits to your bank via Stripe on their standard payout schedule — no waiting until the fundraiser ends.
Credit Card, Apple Pay & Google Pay
Every way to pay. One-tap donations from any phone.
SMS Alerts for Organizers
