Free for your organization. Really.

No platform fees. No percentage of donations. No contracts. Donors can optionally leave a tip to support us — or your organization can choose a flat per-student fee instead. Either way, every dollar raised goes directly to your Stripe account.

Common Questions

What does "funds go directly to your account" mean?
You connect your own Stripe account. Donations are deposited directly — we never hold your money.
Can we use this for middle school or elementary programs?
Yes. Express Mode requires no student accounts and is COPPA-compliant for under-13 groups.
Do you help us actually run the fundraiser?
Yes. The Playbook gives step-by-step guidance for every role — directors, booster leaders, parents, and students. Plus, every organization gets a dedicated account manager to help you along the way.
What if we already used another platform?
You can import contacts from previous campaigns. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
