WHY ZERO-FEE MATTERS

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

Every pound a platform takes is a pound that never reaches your cause. On £50,000 raised, that's £1,050 gone.

Here's what £1,050 could fund instead:

8,500+

meals served to the hungry

40

classroom supply kits

30

spay/neuter surgeries

3

charter buses for field trips

2-3

youth mission trips

OUR MISSION

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

Every charity deserves tools that keep every pound with your mission. So we built one platform to run your whole organisation: donations, events, memberships, Gift Aid declarations and your supporter database. All of it free, with nothing held back for a paid tier.

Our proudest numbers:
