Fundraising for animal rescues on your own website
Animal rescues run on urgent, story-driven giving — an emergency surgery, a litter of fosters, a transport this weekend. CrowdCreate puts the donate button right on your rescue's own page and sends the money straight to your own account, so more of it reaches the animals.
Why rescue fundraising is hard on the wrong tool
Most rescues are small and all-volunteer, and the giving spikes around a specific animal's story. A percentage platform takes a cut of every emergency-vet donation — exactly the money that was supposed to cover the bill. Worse, many rescues end up fundraising entirely inside someone else's app, where a platform owns the donor relationship and can change the rules, the fees, or the reach overnight. When a single vet bill is the difference between yes and no, a 5–8% cut and a borrowed audience are real costs.
Where CrowdCreate fits a rescue
Paste one snippet onto your own rescue site — the adoption page, the emergency-fund post — and supporters give without being handed to a third party. The money goes to your own Stripe account, so your treasurer pays the vet directly from funds you control. At a flat $20 a month, an extra-good month for donations doesn't mean an extra-large platform fee. The donor list is yours to keep and export — so the people who gave for last month's emergency are reachable for the next one, on your terms, not a platform's.
- Put the donate button on the actual animal's story page — no redirect to a third-party app.
- Money lands in your own Stripe so the treasurer can pay the vet directly.
- Flat $20/mo — an emergency-fund surge isn't skimmed by a percentage.
- Own and export your donor list for the next urgent case.
Where CrowdCreate might not fit
CrowdCreate handles one-time donations to your own account; it isn't a pet-adoption CRM, a grant manager, or a recurring-sponsorship system, and it doesn't issue tax-deductible receipts (handle those from your own records if your rescue is a registered nonprofit). If most of your support is monthly sponsorships, you'll want a recurring-billing tool alongside it.

Common questions
Our giving spikes around one animal's story. Does that work here?
Yes — that's the ideal fit. Put the widget right on the post about that animal, share the link, and donations land in your own account. There's no per-campaign setup and no percentage that grows with a big week.
Can supporters leave a note with their donation?
Yes. The widget has an optional note field, so a supporter can say which animal they're giving for — it's saved with the pledge in your dashboard.
Does the money go through CrowdCreate first?
No. It goes straight to your own Stripe account; we never hold it or take a cut. We charge a flat $20 a month; Stripe charges its standard 2.9% + 30¢ per donation, which goes to Stripe.
