Donation Options
One-Time Donations
A single contribution processed immediately.
Recurring Donations
Automatic monthly (or custom frequency) donations:
- Set it and forget it
- Cancel or modify anytime
- Consistent support for the cause
Fee Coverage
No fee is added to a donation — you pay exactly the amount you give. The organization's only cost is card processing, typically 2.9% + $0.30. The option to cover it appears when your checkout is a donation only; a gift added to a cart with tickets or products is already inside that order's processing fee, so the option isn't offered there. By covering the fee:
- 100% of your intended amount reaches the organization
- Your receipt reflects the total contributed
An Optional Tip to Equipoise
Equipoise, the platform behind this page, charges the organization no fee on donations.
On a donation-only checkout you'll see an unticked box, Add a tip to Equipoise, beside
your gift, with a short explanation beneath it. Leave it alone and nothing is added. Tick it
to choose a tip of 1–10% of your gift (it starts at 5%), shown as its own line before you pay.
- The tip goes to Equipoise, not to the organization, and never comes out of your gift
- It is not tax-deductible, and your receipt shows it apart from your gift
- If your gift is refunded, the tip is refunded too
- Monthly gifts never carry a tip

Donation Campaigns
Organizations may create focused fundraising campaigns for specific purposes.
Finding Campaigns
Visit the organization's Campaigns page to browse active campaigns. Each campaign
shows its goal, progress, and timeline.
Donating to a Campaign
- Click on the campaign you'd like to support, then Donate Now
- Choose a suggested amount (tap it, or use the arrow keys) or enter a custom amount
- To give every month, quarter or year, tick Make this a recurring donation and pick how often (when the campaign offers it)
- If you like, leave a message for the campaign's wall, and tick Make my donation anonymous to show "Anonymous" in place of your name
- Click Donate Now. A one-time gift goes to your cart to check out; a recurring gift goes straight to secure checkout to set up the schedule
- Your donation is tracked toward the campaign's goal
The Supporters Wall
Each campaign page lists its recent supporters with the amount they gave and any
message they left. Your message is public — anyone who visits the page can read it.
Giving anonymously hides your name on the wall but still shows your message; the
organization still knows who you are, for your receipt.
Changed your mind about the amount? Go back and donate again before checking out:
your cart keeps one gift to that campaign, at the newest amount, instead of two.
Campaign Progress
Each campaign page shows how much has been raised and how many people have given. If
the campaign has a goal, a progress bar shows how close it is; if it has a deadline,
you'll see the time remaining.
Sharing a Campaign
Use the Share button on the campaign page. On a phone it opens your share menu so
you can send it by text, email, or social media; on a computer it copies the link for
you to paste. Event pages have the same button.
