100% of your gift goes to the cause
Nothing is skimmed by a for-profit company. We keep the platform running through other means.
OpenCharities is a grantmaking fund. Every euro you give goes to the cause. We earn from optional tips and products for organisations with budget. The people we fund never pay.

100% to the cause
Your gift goes entirely to the cause
100% of your gift goes to the cause. OpenCharities earns from optional donor tips and corporate products. Nothing is skimmed from your donation.
How we keep the platform running
Three honest revenue sources. None of them your gift.
Optional tips from donors
When you give, you can add an optional tip to support the platform. The decision sits with you, not with us. We refuse to skim anything from your gift. As an impact startup, we'd rather create impact than extract value.
Corporate giving products
Organisations with budget pay for employee-directed giving, transparency reporting, and impact dashboards. This is how we make money at scale, sold as vision now, with a platform almost ready.
Grants, subsidy and seed
Our own start-up costs are funded by grants, subsidy and seed investment, not donor money. So from day one, your gift is never used to pay for our infrastructure.
Those who have budget pay, so those who don't never have to
Organisations with budget, companies and large NGOs, pay for our giving and transparency products. That revenue keeps the platform alive. The local changemakers we fund, and the donors who support them, never pay a cent. The cost sits with those who can carry it, never skimmed from the gift.
We earn from tips and corporate products, not your gift
As an impact startup, we'd rather build real impact than make money right now. We'll fund our growth through grants, subsidy and investment, not by taking anything from donations.
The people we fund never pay. Not before, not after.

Frequently asked questions
Honest answers about how we make this work.
Three ways, none of them your donation. First, an optional tip you can add when you give. The decision is yours, not ours. Second, products for organisations with budget: corporate giving, employee-directed giving, and transparency reporting. Third, grants and subsidy that fund our own start-up costs. Nothing is skimmed from the gift.
