Why should I use Crowded for a fundraising campaign?
Crowded lets you collect, spend, and manage money in one place — no more transferring funds between payment apps and banks. Most fundraising platforms only process donations and send the money elsewhere.
With Crowded, funds land directly in your account*, where you can immediately spend, track, and manage them.
Other highlights:
- Low, flexible fees — 2.99% for cards, $5 for ACH, and you choose whether to cover fees or pass them to donors. No subscription or setup costs.
- Compliant — Direct IRS integration for embedded compliance for nonprofits
- Embeddable on your website — a simple widget collects donations, event tickets, and dues across desktop and mobile.
If you just need a basic donation form, simpler tools may suffice. But if you want fundraising, banking*, and compliance without juggling multiple platforms, Crowded is purpose-built for that.
Can Crowded support an organization with separate fundraising goals?
Yes — Crowded is built for exactly this. You can create Sub Accounts for each chapter, committee, or program, each with its own fundraisers, budgets, and debit cards. Headquarters gets a consolidated view of activity, while local leads retain autonomy over their own funds. This is a key advantage over standalone fundraising tools like Zeffy or Donorbox, which send funds to a single account with no structure.
Can donors give recurring donations, and how does that work?
Donors can opt into making their donations recur automatically on a monthly or annual basis for a set amount of time, or unlimited!
How does Crowded handle compliance and audit readiness?
Fundraisers can be categorized, tagged, and exported for optimal tracking. Every transaction, including donations are automatically categorized, reconciled, and mapped to IRS requirements — so you’re filing and audit-ready by default. Popular platforms like GoFundMe and Zeffy handle payment collection but leave compliance entirely to you.
