BackaBuddy is reshaping the landscape of online fundraising with an announcement that promises to elevate the efforts of registered non-profit organizations nationwide.
Effective immediately, BackaBuddy is launching a 0% platform fee for registered non-profit organizations utilizing our platform for their fundraising campaigns. Therefore, the only fees incurred when non-profits receive donations on our platform are the payment gateway fees, which include PayPal, Snapscan, Instant EFT, and credit card charges.
In a bold bid to empower charities to extend their reach and better serve their beneficiaries, BackaBuddy’s 0% platform fee initiative extends to both charities that are already raising funds on our platform and registered organizations yet to begin their crowdfunding journey.
With our 0% platform fee, we acknowledge the ever-growing needs of charitable causes alongside the constraints of available resources, setting the stage for a transformative shift in the world of charitable crowdfunding.
“It is very appealing for us to work with a 0% platform fee crowdfunding organization like BackaBuddy. This approach ensures that the NGOs receive the full value of each donation, enabling us to allocate resources more effectively toward our causes. Donors, by giving a tip demonstrate their commitment to the NGO’s mission and contribute not only to the cause itself but also to the organization’s operational sustainability. The Avela Foundation is a very small NGO and having the total commitment from our donors is huge. This model fosters a strong sense of collaboration and transparency as well” – says Cami Palomo, Founder of the Avela Foundation, an organization that advocates for burn survivors.
Elevating Communities Through Unparalleled Support
Non-profit organizations are the unsung champions of our society, answering the call for help amid adversity. These indispensable entities are witnessing a surge in demand for their services in the face of economic hardships, environmental challenges, and educational gaps. BackaBuddy is resolutely committed to addressing these pressing concerns.
