BackerBaseYour community's own fundraising platform.
We design, build and run fundraising platforms for clubs, faith communities, schools and causes. Your brand, your rules, even your own features. Your people start fundraisers, supporters give once or every month, and Stripe pays each fundraiser directly.
Illustrations. One engine, any identity.
Built on BackerBase.
Example platforms. Each has its own name, its own audience and its own way of giving, and each looks and works like a product in its own right, because it is one.
-
Sport Fund
Athletes raise money for equipment, coaching, training camps and competition travel. Family, friends, clubs and sponsors give once or monthly.

My Study Fund
Students publish a fund page for their education, and friends and family give one-off or monthly support.

White-label is where we start.
A logo swap is not a platform. We shape yours around how your community actually raises money.
Your name.
Your domain, logo, colours and voice from the first screen to the receipt. Supporters see your organization, never ours.
Your rules.
Members only, or open to anyone who shares your cause. Your topic, your currencies, one-off or monthly giving, and who approves a new fundraiser.
Your features.
Team pages, member verification, event campaigns, or something no other platform has. If your community needs it, we build it into yours.
For anyone with people worth backing.
Rowing clubs, mission teams, alumni networks, youth orchestras, athletics clubs, church plants, scout groups, study-abroad programmes, climbing gyms, choirs, sailing associations, and the one you run.
Money goes straight to the fundraiser.
Every BackerBase platform runs its payments on Stripe Connect and Stripe Checkout, so supporters pay on Stripe and fundraisers are paid by Stripe.
By card anywhere, or by bank debit: ACH in the US, SEPA Direct Debit in Europe.
On Stripe's hosted checkout. No card numbers or bank details ever touch our servers.
Through a Stripe Connect account, after Stripe has verified who they are.
Pricing on request.
Every platform is scoped to the community it serves: the brand, the rules, and whatever we build for you. Tell us what you need and we'll send you a proposal.
Fundraisers never pay to create a page. The platform fee is added on top of each gift by default, so fundraisers receive the full amount their supporters choose.
Ask for a proposalWhat a BackerBase platform is for.
Every platform runs under BackerBase LLC's terms and Stripe's rules, whoever's name is on it.
Built for
- People raising support for themselves or their team, within the topic your organization sets
- One-off gifts and monthly contributions from the people who back them
- Fundraisers who verify their identity with Stripe before they receive a payout
Not for
- Investment, equity or lending crowdfunding
- Lotteries, raffles or prize draws
- Political campaigns
Contributions support the individual or team who owns the page and are not tax-deductible donations to BackerBase.
How this actually works.
What we end up explaining in every first conversation, written down so you can read it without talking to us. No sign-up, no email wall.
- Where the money actually goesThe three ways a platform can move a gift to the person it was meant for, and what each one costs the organization whose name is on the page.
- 14 questions to ask a vendorThe questions that only surface in month four, asked in the first call — and what a good answer sounds like.
- The rules you inheritMembership, minors, prohibited causes, tax and takedown: the policy to write before members fundraise under your brand.
All guides — including fees and how a monthly supporter base is built.
