GoodChange conduit fundraising is built for the coordination era: every earmarked contribution delivers directly to its recipient, with the raising entity in full control. Funds never pass through an intermediary account.
Payouts direct to the recipient's own bank account — often within 1–2 business days via Stripe.
Build a conduit fundraiser for a single recipient or a full slate. Donors give once; the platform handles earmarking, delivery, and reporting.
Set up a fundraising page for one recipient or a full slate — live in about 30 minutes. One-time, monthly, and Spare Change round-up giving are all supported.
A single checkout, earmarked per recipient. Donors can choose to cover transaction fees at checkout — and usually do. No platform tips are ever added on top.
Each contribution routes directly to the recipient's own account. The raising entity stays in full control of the fundraiser and keeps full ownership of the donor relationship.
When donors cover the fee at checkout, the effective rate a campaign actually pays drops well below the sticker rate. Here's one audited campaign, with its basis published in full.
77.3% of the campaign's donors chose to cover the transaction fee at checkout · zero donor-regret refunds
All figures are from the Hallie Shoffner for Arkansas Senate campaign audit: one campaign's real results, not a randomized comparison. The 1.00% effective rate reflects that 77.3% of that campaign's donors chose to cover transaction fees at checkout. Standard transaction fees still apply whenever a donor doesn't cover them, and donor fee-cover rates vary by campaign.
For transparency: legacy pass-through platforms publish base processing fees of about 3.95% — essentially the same as the 3.96% effective rate observed in this audit. The difference isn't a hidden rate on their side; it's a structural feature on ours. Donor fee-cover is built into every GoodChange checkout.
Donors are never asked to tip the platform. The checkout asks one optional question: whether they'd like to cover the transaction fee for the campaign.
Donor data is never sold. The full donor relationship stays with the raising entity — contact records, giving history, all of it.
Want your fundraiser to look and read entirely like your campaign, end to end? A fully custom-branded site is available for $250/month.
Left-leaning and Democratic campaigns, plus nonpartisan races — judicial, municipal, school board — from city council to Congress.
The rules around coordinated fundraising have changed. GoodChange's conduit model was built for how campaigns raise now — and its structure is simple enough to publish on this page.
Every earmarked contribution delivers directly to the recipient. Funds never pass through an intermediary account between donor and recipient.
The entity running the fundraiser controls it end to end — the slate, the page, the messaging, and the donor relationship that comes out of it.
Because delivery is direct and earmarks are explicit, reporting reflects exactly what happened: who gave, to whom, and when it arrived.
From signup to a live, fully branded fundraiser.
Typical payout window, direct to the org's bank via Stripe.
