FreeFunder
What it is
FreeFunder is a web service for personal crowdfunding campaigns covering needs such as medical bills, funeral costs, and personal projects. Campaign owners begin with a short form describing the amount sought and the reason for fundraising. Pages can be customized with colors, formatted text, pictures, and tables, then shared or embedded on another website. Owners can add team members with read-only or read-write access, post updates, and email updates to followers. Keyword-based text-to-donate supports offline events and promotions. FreeFunder says it charges no platform fee and relies on voluntary donations. Card donations through Stripe incur a 2.9% + $0.30 processing fee deducted from each gift. Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App donations can be recorded on the page and may avoid processing fees. Donations go to a separate Stripe account for the owner or beneficiary, then to a bank account.
