Legacy Platforms
Legacy sites like GoFundMe and Milaap treat desperate fundraising like a profit center.
High Fees
Platform and processing fees chip away 3% to 8% of your funds—taking away hundreds or thousands meant for medical bills, disaster recovery, or non-profit goals.
The Emotional Strain
The anxiety of trying to reach a goal, combined with the awkwardness of constantly begging friends and family for money.
It's Wrong
It is fundamentally wrong that platforms profit off someone else's medical emergency, personal crisis, or charitable cause.
Fundraising Shouldn't Feel Like Begging

You keep 100% of every dollar.
Zero platform fees mean you never lose critical funds meant for your emergency or cause.
SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Most platforms take a cut of every donation. SIR Funder doesn't.
