CrowdCreate

Fundraising for nonprofits on your own website

Put a giving widget on your nonprofit's own website and collect one-time or recurring gifts there. The money goes straight to your organization's Stripe account — we never hold it and never take a cut. It's a flat $20 a month, whether you raise a hundred dollars or a hundred thousand.

What fundraising costs a small nonprofit

Most donation tools were built for organizations with a development team. They charge a percentage of every gift, so the more your supporters give, the more the platform keeps — money that was meant for your program. And the giving usually happens on the platform's page, not yours: a supporter who came to your site to learn about your cause gets handed off to a checkout that doesn't look like you. For an organization run by two staff and a board, the percentage and the handoff are both real losses. The percentage scales against you for as long as you raise. The handoff means the donor's last impression is a third-party brand instead of yours.

Where CrowdCreate fits a nonprofit

CrowdCreate is the embeddable part without the percentage. You paste one snippet onto your existing site — Webflow, Squarespace, WordPress, plain HTML — and supporters give without leaving your page. The gift goes to your own Stripe account, so your finance person reconciles it the same way they reconcile everything else. At $20 a month flat, what you raise past the break-even point stays with your program instead of scaling into a platform fee. The funder list is yours: names, emails, amounts, and dates live in your Stripe and your dashboard, and you can export them whenever you want for your own records and acknowledgments.

  • One-time and recurring gifts, both on your own site — no second platform for monthly giving.
  • A flat $20/mo with no cut of what you raise; the percentage that a typical donation tool keeps stays with your program instead.
  • Funds land in your organization's own Stripe account — we never hold or route the money.
  • Your donor list (names, emails, amounts, dates) is yours to export for your own records; funder PII auto-expires after 13 months.

Where CrowdCreate might not fit

One thing to be plain about: CrowdCreate does not issue tax-deductible donation receipts, and we are not a 501(c)(3) donation processor. We move money from a supporter to your organization's Stripe account — that's it. If your organization is a registered charity and your donors expect a tax receipt, you (not we) are the one who issues it, using the records in your Stripe and dashboard. Don't tell donors a gift through CrowdCreate is tax-deductible on our account; we make no such determination and provide no receipt.

Common questions

Can our donors deduct a gift made through CrowdCreate?

We can't promise that, and we don't issue tax receipts. Whether a gift is deductible depends on your organization's own tax status, not on us. We hand the money to your Stripe account and give you the records; if your nonprofit is eligible to issue receipts, you issue them from those records. Treat us as the way the gift reaches you, not as the receipt.

Does the money pass through CrowdCreate first?

No. The gift goes directly to your organization's own Stripe account. We never hold, route, or take a cut of it. We charge you a flat $20 a month for the tool; Stripe charges its standard processing fee (2.9% + 30¢ per gift), which goes to Stripe, not to us.

Can we collect recurring monthly gifts as well as one-time ones?

Yes. Supporters can give once or set up a recurring gift, both from the widget on your own site. You don't need a separate platform for your monthly donors.
