Raise money for your organization, every month

Local businesses that list on your town’s coupon page through your organization’s code pay $199 a month. After a fixed 3.4% card fee, half of what is left goes to you — $96.12 a month for each business, for as long as it stays.

What your organization would earn

Each month, estimated$1,922.40
Each year, estimated$23,068.80

This is an estimate, not a quote. What actually arrives can be higher or lower:

  • It steps down. A business you sign up gives you 100% of its charity half in its first year, then at least 50% in its second and at least 25% from its third, for as long as it keeps paying — the rest it may direct to other organizations in the same city. The figures above assume a first year.
  • It can be more. A business that buys the top spot in a town, or a listing in another town, pays more each month — and half of each of those charges, after the same allowance, goes to the 501(c)(3)s in whichever town the charge was for, divided evenly between them. Voluntary giving comes to you in full.
  • It follows the payments. A business that pauses for its off-season, cancels, or has a card fail pays nothing that month, so nothing accrues for it. Seasonal trades do pause.

The arithmetic: $199.00 less the 3.4% card allowance, halved, is $96.12 a month for each business in its first year. Businesses may also add a voluntary monthly amount, which comes to you in full. Each month’s money is sent 60 days later, so a reversed card payment is never taken back from you.

How it works

  1. You apply below. We verify your 501(c)(3) status with the IRS.
  2. You sign a short commercial co-venturer agreement electronically and send us a W-9. You set up payouts through Stripe, which handles the bank details.
  3. You get your own code and QR. Businesses that sign up through it are credited to you.
  4. We pay you monthly. Each month’s money waits 60 days before it is sent, because a card payment can still be reversed — you see it as soon as it is earned.

The rules, plainly
