One purpose per campaign
Each campaign represents a single designated purpose. Restricted gifts stay tied to what donors gave for, with reporting that separates funds by campaign.
For non-profits
Peer-to-peer that respects how non-profit accounting actually works.
Built for 501(c)(3) youth programs, scout troops, community organizations, and mission-driven non-profits. Restricted vs. unrestricted funds stay separate by campaign, board reporting is one click, and anyone in your community can share — sharers earn a flat 20% on every donation their share brings in.
What this looks like for non-profits
Built around how you already work.
Board-ready exports
Per-campaign and per-organization reports covering donations, donors, payouts, and sharer thank-you payments — built for finance committee review.
Multi-program orgs welcome
Run several active campaigns at once across programs and chapters. Anyone — staff, volunteers, parents, alumni — can share and earn.
Most non-profits pick
Default — Open Share (60 / 20 / 20)
Most nonprofits pick Default — supporters, volunteers, and board members do the sharing, and whoever's share brought in the gift earns a 20% reward (ACH or digital gift card). Boards that prefer to keep sharing entirely informal can choose Plain mode (80 / 20) at campaign setup.
See the four fundraiser types →Common campaigns
The fundraisers leaders run on Share-a-thon.
Annual giving day
A 24- or 48-hour campaign with leaderboards across teams, chapters, or program areas.
Scout troop campaigns
Camp fees, summer trips, equipment, and high-adventure travel for scouts of every flavor.
Youth program operations
After-school programs, summer programs, and mentorship initiatives funded by the families and supporters who already know the work.
Capital & restricted-purpose
Building funds, equipment drives, scholarship endowments — kept clean and separate from operating support.
Mission and service trips
Service-learning trips, mission travel, and community outreach with per-participant fundraising.
Sister-org collaborations
Two or three related orgs launching together — every supporter who shares earns a flat 20% on the donations their share brings in.
Safety & oversight
Built for leaders who care about doing this well.
Restricted funds stay restricted
Each campaign is its own purpose. Reporting separates funds by campaign so designated giving stays compliant.
Admin approval at every layer
Program leaders approve every public share — with a clear paper trail you can hand to your finance committee.
Flat 20% sharer thank-you
Whoever shares — staff, volunteer, parent, alum, friend — earns a flat 20% when their share brings in a donation. One level. No recruiting.
501(c)(3)-friendly receipting
Donor receipts reflect your organization. Share-a-thon is the processing platform — your non-profit is the receiving charity.
What people usually ask
The good questions, answered.
- Do we need to be a registered 501(c)(3)?
- Not to launch — schools, PTOs, booster clubs, churches, and youth programs are welcome whether they hold their own 501(c)(3) or operate under a parent entity. Tax-deductibility on receipts depends on your status.
- How do we keep restricted-purpose funds separate?
- Each campaign represents a single purpose. Reporting separates funds by campaign — use one campaign per restricted purpose to stay clean.
- What does board-level reporting look like?
- Admins can export per-campaign and per-organization reports covering donations, donors, payouts, and sharer thank-you payments — suitable for finance committee or board review.
