Free to You
At CausePilot, we believe fundraising should come from the heart and with no worries. That’s why our pricing is simple and straightforward — designed so you can run your fundraiser at no cost.
- Fundraisers & Nonprofits: Start for $0 — no monthly subscription, no setup fee.
- Donors: Add a small contribution to help cover fundraising costs — from 0% up to10%
- CausePilot: Applies a 5% platform fee — fundraiser decides who will cover this fee.
Why "Free" Elsewhere Isn't Really Free
Many platforms claim to be “free” — but here’s the fine print they don’t tell you.
- Donors are pushed into adding a "tip" (sometimes 20% or higher).
- If donors don't tip, the platform may take a cut of the funds raised.
- Fundraisers end up paying hidden costs — often much more than with CausePilot.
At CausePilot, it’s not a tip, it’s a Contribution Fee because donors are contributing to the cost of your fundraiser. It’s transparent, donor-friendly, and ensures more dollars go where they belong — to your cause.
