Answers to common questions about donating and fundraising.
Donating
How do I donate?
Open any fundraiser, press “Donate now”, choose an amount and a payment method, and follow the steps. You’ll get an email receipt.
Can I donate anonymously?
Yes. Check “Don’t show my name publicly”. The organizer and our team can still see your name for receipts and safety.
Can I give monthly?
Yes, when card payments are available. Choose “Monthly” at the top of the donation form. Contact support any time to pause or cancel.
How do bank transfer and Zelle donations work?
Choose Bank transfer / Zelle and you’ll see our account details and a unique reference number. Include the reference in your transfer memo. Your gift appears on the fundraiser once the money arrives.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Donations to individuals are generally not tax-deductible. Gifts to registered nonprofits may be — check with the nonprofit and your tax advisor.
Starting a fundraiser
Who can start a fundraiser?
Anyone 18 or older in the United States can start a fundraiser for themselves, someone else, or an organization.
How long does review take?
We review new fundraisers by hand, usually within 1 business day. We’ll email you when it goes live.
Can I edit my fundraiser?
Yes. Contact support to change the title, goal or story, and post updates any time from your dashboard.
Receiving funds
How do I get the money?
From your dashboard, request a payout. Our finance team verifies the beneficiary and sends funds to them securely.
What does the beneficiary need to do?
The beneficiary confirms their identity and how they want to receive funds. Organizers never need the beneficiary’s bank details.
What fees apply?
See our Pricing page for the platform fee and payment processing fees.
Safety
How do you keep fundraisers safe?
Every fundraiser is reviewed before going live, and anyone can report a fundraiser. Suspicious fundraisers are paused while our team reviews them.
How do I report a fundraiser?
Use “Report fundraiser” at the bottom of any fundraiser page. Reports are confidential.
What if a fundraiser turns out to be misleading?
Affected donors may be eligible for a refund under our Refund Policy.
