The Platform

One platform.
One ledger.
One payout.

Everyone else sells something that lives above the layer. CauseFi. is the layer. Payments, participation, data and settlement, purpose-built for the GivingTech industry, with every way of giving running through it.

For Organizations For Supporters For Impact Partners For Employers

Four payment rails, brought into one place.

What FinTech did for banking, CauseFi. does for causes. The card networks, the banks, the matching databases and the crypto processors each run their own rail. CauseFi. brings them together into one platform, controls the switch that routes every dollar that crosses them, and installs the guardrails that protect it: giver-set limits, full visibility, and verified organizations. We control the switch. We install the guardrails.

Payments

Round-ups, one-time, recurring, match, merchant. All settled through a single platform.

Participation

Ambassadors, goals, streaks, challenges. Giving becomes something you play, not something you're asked.

Data

Behavior, retention, lifetime value. The first real donor telemetry the sector has had.

Settlement

Custody, faster payouts and the tax truth, settled through one regulated path built and operated with our banking partners.

One roof. One login. One fee. One truth. No stacking vendors. No stacking percentages. A single data model behind every dashboard, report and payout.

Smart Sweep · this is donr.

The payment engine under every stream.

Smart Sweep is the payment processing service of the platform. It watches every giving type on the platform and sweeps each one on the cadence the giving type calls for and the organization requests: round-ups when the change is ready, recurring gifts on the donor's schedule, the employer match once a month. For round-ups, ready means the pooled balance reaches the sweep level the supporter sets: $50 by default, never below $25, always in their control.

One clean, clearly named charge, on settled transactions only, never an overpull, never mid-transaction. Balances that are not ready simply roll forward. The organization sets the request, the giving type sets the rules, and the engine does the rest.

Round-up is one requirement the sweep serves, not the whole job. It happens to be the most loved one, so it gets its own story below.

Round-ups

The forgotten change, made change for good.

With elev8, the round-up application within donr., a supporter links the card already in their wallet. Every eligible purchase rounds up in real time and pools per card, and Smart Sweep gathers that forgotten change in one clean charge when it is ready.

The average linked card generates about $30 a month in round-ups alone. That number includes zero Impact Partner giving and zero employer matching. The other funding layers stack on top of it.

Guardrails built for givers: the supporter stays in control the whole way. Caps, cadence, and pause are supporter-set from day one. That control is why they stay.

Three funding layers off a single swipe.

Her own change, the retailer's money, and her employer's budget. Each layer runs on its own trigger: the give back needs nothing but a card on file used at an Impact Partner. Every other platform reaches one of these; CauseFi. can fire all three off the same swipe, and the supporter never does anything different. Here is one $99.20 grocery run, side by side.

change in supporter behavior required. The Impact Partner funds the lift.

And when the retailer is the Impact Partner?

Watch the math on one everyday basket at a sponsoring retailer, where the layers fire at once.

Three funding layers, one swipe

Three funding layers. One swipe.

A supporter spends $99.20 at a sponsoring retailer. The purchase rounds to $100 and the 80 cents pools for their organization. Then the part nobody else runs: the retailer funds a give back on the spend itself. At the 10 percent average, that is $9.92 from the retailer on top of the supporter's 80 cents, and the employer match files on top of all of it.

Before CauseFi., this transaction produced nothing for the mission. A round-up app would have captured eighty cents. The other $9.92 needs a platform with an Impact Partner on it. And the layers run independently: the round-up is the supporter's choice, while the give back fires on any card on file used at an Impact Partner, round-up on or off. Do this a few times a month and it is $840 a year from one linked card, on platform averages. She paid $99.20 either way. That sentence is the entire product.

Fifteen ways a dollar arrives. One roof.

Turn on one, or turn on all fifteen. The price does not change, and every one of them clears through donr. and lands on the same record. Round-ups are the one people repeat back to us. They are one line on this list.

Every way a dollar can arrive.

A supporter picks the method. The organization never sees the difference, because every method here is routed through the same platform, into the same ledger, on the same payout.

Credit and debit cards

Any major card, one tap or on a schedule. Link the same card once and every purchase rounds up too, each card sweeping to the organization named on it.

Bank transfer

ACH for the gifts where percentages hurt. Pennies to move, not points. And the rail behind bank-funded giving: card detects, bank pays, in one small automatic pull.

The giving balance

Loaded once, drawn down with every swipe. One charge, dozens of gifts.

Gift card balances

The $23.40 stranded on a gift card becomes a gift in three taps, quoted at the honest number before you confirm, never held by us.

Crypto

Converted on arrival, never held, described on the receipt as the asset it was.

Invoiced commitments

Impact Partners and employers billed on terms, reconciled in the same ledger as a $0.38 round-up.

More than one cause

A supporter backs several organizations and sets how the giving splits between them.

One way out

Every method above lands in one payout, on one statement, on one fee.

The method is the supporter’s choice. The reconciliation is never the organization's problem.

The tax truth

The receipt is always right.

Every dollar in the platform is typed the moment it moves: gift, ticket, auction value, chance, property. So the paperwork writes itself, correctly. Fair market value split from generosity automatically at the auction close. The raffle ticket never masquerades as a deduction, and the add-on gift beside it always is one. The crypto gift is described as the asset it was, never a guessed value.

The supporter’s year rolls up per card, per organization, monthly and annually, without a treasurer touching a spreadsheet.

And the paper lives somewhere permanent. Every dashboard has a documents vault: monthly statements, quarterly summaries, the annual giving statement in your hands by the end of January, and the written acknowledgment every gift of $250 or more requires, issued the moment the gift happens. Issued documents are never edited. A correction arrives as a new document chained to the original, both visible, because paper you can trust is paper that never quietly changes.

The standard

Every transaction typed. Every split automatic.

Zero documentation errors as the standard. Trust is a product. This is where it is manufactured.

The platform goes deeper

The switchyard is becoming a treasury.

Today every dollar settles straight through. Next, banking partnerships deepen the platform: faster payouts for organizations and bank-rail collection at pennies instead of percentages, which is what makes daily giving sane.

Never commingled. Never held before the law says yes. Never a launch dependency.

Custody

Insured and segregated, with a sub-ledger accurate to the penny.

Faster payouts

Established partners receive most of their money mid-month. The sales weapon.

Cheap rails

Bank-rail collection at pennies instead of percentages.

Six dashboards.
One truth.

Everyone in the loop logs into CauseFi. and sees the same ledger from their own angle. Ambassador teams inherit a scoped version of their organization’s view, with access and insight set by ambassador level.

Supporter

Live impact from spend, caps, cadence and pause, streaks and badges, rewards points, wallet balance and tax documents.

Ambassador scoped by level

My raise and my team's, goals, streaks, leaderboard, invites and activation, payouts and attributed links across every product.

Organization

Giving behavior live, retention and lifetime value, every stream in one payout, campaign intelligence, live event, auction and outing consoles.

Impact Partner

Give back spend and caps, impact by cause area, transaction attribution, the monthly ROI report, and the tools to stock the shop and fund the moments.

Employer

Match budget live, participation by team, where people actually give, caps and policy control, closed workplace events and auctions.

Administration

Every account in one view, health and risk flags, onboarding and adoption, compliance status across raffles and events, directory prospecting and the demand map.

Not a fundraising tool. The system your team runs on.

Everything that used to take five vendors, four exports and somebody's spreadsheet. The point is not that you can raise more. The point is that a team of four can now run what used to take twelve.

Run the work

Events and ticketing on one platform and one fee. Ambassador programs managed without a spreadsheet. Campaigns and power-ups launched in minutes, not a procurement cycle. Auctions and raffles from inventory to drawing to payout, without a cash box. One payout, one ledger, reconciled before it reaches your accountant. The tax truth, generated correctly, automatically.

See the truth

Real-time dashboards of giving behavior as it happens. Retention and lifetime value by cohort, channel and cause area. Attribution to the transaction: which Impact Partner, which ambassador, which campaign produced the dollar. Impact Partner ROI reporting generated monthly, defensible to a CFO. The live event console: the closing board, the thermometer and the field, from a phone at the podium.

Decide with data

Social intelligence: what is resonating and where attention is moving, before you spend against it. Behavioral signals: who is about to lapse, who is ready to be asked, who should be an ambassador. Segment and target instead of emailing everyone. Forecast from behavior, not last year's total. Directory intelligence: prospect the whole nonprofit universe and benchmark against peers.

One platform, every pocket

Built once.
Everywhere at once.

The platform ships on the web and in native Apple and Android apps from one shared core: one API, one design system, one release train, so every enhancement lands on every surface the same day. No feature is ever built twice.

CauseFi., in the pocket. Not a companion app, the platform itself. The coin drop and the balance widget on the lock screen. Outbid at the gala, rebid without opening anything. A guest scans the table QR and bids before they have installed anything.

Every nonprofit in America gets a doorstep.

Every US tax-exempt organization is in the directory from the first day, seeded from public IRS data: legal name and aliases, EIN, category, chapters and locations, mission, size band and verified deductibility. A supporter types, and the whole universe narrows live.

01

Found, and live

The branded page opens. Give, add to favorites, attach a card, in one tap each.

02

Found, not live yet

The profile says so plainly, and offers the tap that changes the business: I want to give here.

03

Not in the files

The one-minute submission, for new nonprofits, non-EIN groups and fiscally sponsored projects.

1.7M+

US nonprofits, findable from day one

Warm

never cold: outreach opens with a supporter's name and stated intent

Never sold

the data serves supporters and our own growth. Never a public people database.

Guardrails built for causes: a profile is never a listing. No dollar moves to an organization that has not been onboarded. A verified official claims the page, sees the demand waiting, and starts onboarding from it.

Don’t know exactly who to back? Give to the cause itself. Point any giving stream at one of the nine cause areas and we allocate it to vetted organizations under a published policy, with every dollar traceable back to where it landed. And a gift to an organization that is not live yet gets delivered on your behalf, followed like a package, with the invitation attached: there is money waiting.

The channel

The participation layer for the sector's system of record.

The nonprofit sector already runs on systems of record, and CauseFi. does not compete with them. It completes them. Those platforms answer how nonprofits manage the donors they have. CauseFi. answers how nonprofits create new donor activity that did not exist.

Keep the stack you trust. The platform runs alongside it, never against it, and every dollar it creates lands in one ledger your existing tools can read.

They answer how nonprofits manage donors. We answer how nonprofits create donor activity that did not exist.

The channel, in two sentences

Everything they do. Plus everything they can't.

We work alongside your system of record, not against it.
The table is the argument. Nobody else can post it.
