Affordability shouldn't cost you capability
Most fundraising platforms make nonprofits choose: pay steep processing fees, or rely on a tip-driven checkout that quietly shrinks donations and frustrates donors. Donational was built to remove that tradeoff — and because we're owned and operated by One for the World, every dollar of platform fee goes straight back into scaling effective giving.
Built for how nonprofits actually raise money
Multi-charity portfolio donations
Single checkout, split across multiple charities with custom allocations — donors give to everything they care about in one transaction.
Customer-directed tipping & fee coverage
100% of tips go directly to your organization. Donors can also opt to cover processing fees, so more of every gift reaches you.
Global donation capability
Accept donations in USD, GBP, CAD, and AUD today, with currency support expanding to meet your donors wherever they are.
One-off & recurring donations
Give donors the flexibility to give once or commit to ongoing support — maximizing donor lifetime value for your organization.
How the fees stack up
Per $100,000 raised
| Platform type | Fee structure | Net to your organization |
|---|---|---|
| Tip-based platforms (Zeffy, Givebutter, Every.org) | ~6.6% average tip rate | $93,400 |
| Fee-based platforms (Fundraise Up, Donorbox) | 3% average fee | $97,000 |
| Donational | 3% platform fee — 100% of tips to your org | $97,000 |
Illustrative figures based on published average tip rates and processing fees; actual results vary by platform and campaign.
Fees compound into lives saved
GiveWell estimates that as little as $3,000 can prevent one death when directed to a top-rated charity. Choosing where your fundraising dollars go is a mission-aligned decision — the platform fees you'd otherwise pay to a for-profit vendor instead fund OFTW's work to grow effective giving.
The impact advantage
Multi-org giving is growing
Donor-advised funds and curated philanthropy are pushing donors toward giving across multiple organizations at once, not just one.
Tip fatigue is real
Donors are increasingly frustrated by tip-driven checkout flows that pressure them at the point of giving.
Demand for global infrastructure
Nonprofits need donation infrastructure that supports international donors natively, not as an afterthought.
Limited-time offer: zero platform fees
Standard Stripe processing fees still apply (~2.9% + 30¢ per transaction).
