WHY ZERO-FEE MATTERS

That's not just a fee. It's what you could have funded.

Every dollar a platform takes is a dollar that never reaches your cause. On $50,000 raised, that's $1,250 gone.

Here’s what $1,250 could fund instead:

8,500+

meals served to the hungry

40

classroom supply kits

30

desexing surgeries

3

coach hire for school excursions

2-3

youth volunteer trips

OUR PURPOSE

Give every not-for-profit the full toolkit, not a stripped-down free version.

Every not-for-profit deserves tools that keep every dollar with your cause. So we built one platform to run your whole organisation: donations, events, memberships, tax receipts and your donor database. All of it free, with nothing held back for a paid tier.
