Frequently Asked Questions

What percentage of donations do you take to run your organization?
Right now, thanks to support from Stanford, we take 0% commission on donations. As we grow nationally, we expect to need to introduce a small 3-4% commission to sustain our work — far below the industry standard of 10-15% that many nonprofits spend on fundraising. By replacing traditional fundraising costs with student-driven efforts, we believe we can increase the total amount reaching nonprofits across the board.
How do you vet nonprofits?
We maintain high standards for transparency and impact. Our team reviews nonprofits using:
• Public financial statements
• Independent ratings and reviews
• Organizational size and impact metrics
• Direct meetings with nonprofit leaders
Ultimately, we provide full transparency—you’ll receive the names and details of all recommended nonprofits so you can do additional research if you'd like.
