WhyDonate
WhyDonate is a free online fundraising platform with web and API access for individuals and organizations. Organizers can create campaigns for medical costs, memorials, education, emergencies, and community projects, adding a story, goal, and photos before sharing through built-in tools or social media. Fundraiser pages, donation forms, and emails can carry the organizer’s branding. The service supports recurring donations and provides a WordPress plugin, embeddable donation button, QR code collection, and Zapier connections to Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Salesforce, QuickBooks Online, and Slack. WhyDonate says fundraisers are supported in 100+ countries, 19 languages, and 119 currencies. Its plan costs nothing, with no sign-up fee, monthly cost, or platform fee; payment processing fees apply, and recurring donations incur a 3% platform fee from the second payment. Donor tips cannot be disabled. Identity verification precedes payout, while support is offered by chat, email, or scheduled phone appointments seven days weekly.
