Fundraising for mutual aid groups on your own page
Mutual aid moves fast and runs on trust: small contributions, redistributed quickly, often without any formal nonprofit behind it. CrowdCreate lets your group collect on its own page and send the money straight to an organizer's own account, with no platform taking a slice of redistribution.
Why platforms fit mutual aid badly
Mutual aid is usually informal — no 501(c)(3), no staff, just neighbors pooling and redistributing money quickly. Most fundraising platforms assume a registered org, take a percentage of every contribution, and put the collection on their own branded page, which sits awkwardly with the whole point: money going directly between people, not through an institution that skims it. When the goal is to redistribute nearly everything that comes in, a percentage cut and a platform middleman are exactly what you're trying to avoid.
Where CrowdCreate fits mutual aid
You paste one snippet onto whatever page your group already uses — a Carrd, a simple site, a linktree-style page that allows embeds — and contributions go to an organizer's own Stripe account. CrowdCreate never holds the money and takes no cut of it; the flat $20 a month is the only thing we charge, so redistribution isn't taxed by a percentage. Contributors give on your page, under your group's name, not a platform's.
- Contributions go straight to an organizer's own Stripe — no platform holds the pool.
- Flat $20/mo, 0% of contributions — redistribution isn't skimmed.
- Runs on your own page; you don't need to be a registered nonprofit.
- Optional note field lets contributors say where they want help to go.
Where CrowdCreate might not fit
Be clear-eyed about the tax and legal side: money collected into an individual organizer's account is generally that person's taxable income, and Stripe may issue a 1099-K past reporting thresholds. CrowdCreate is a collection tool, not legal, tax, or accounting advice, and it does not issue tax-deductible receipts. For a large or ongoing operation, talk to an accountant about whether to formalize.

Common questions
We're not a registered nonprofit. Can we still use it?
Yes. Stripe Express supports individuals, so an organizer can sign up personally. Just understand that money landing in a personal account is generally taxable income for that person — CrowdCreate is a tool, not tax advice.
Does any of the money stop at CrowdCreate?
No. It goes directly to the connected Stripe account; we never hold or route the funds and take 0% of them. We charge a flat $20 a month; Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ per contribution goes to Stripe.
Can multiple organizers manage it?
Today it's one account per fund. Many groups designate one trusted organizer to hold the Stripe account and share the dashboard view; built-in team seats aren't available yet.
