MLM software for charity or fund rising online

A charity raises most of its money through people who ask the people they know. Peer-to-peer fundraising, in which a supporter opens a page, asks their friends to give and brings in new supporters who do the same, is a network, and it needs the same bookkeeping as any other: who brought whom, who gave what, which campaign the money belongs to and what the organisation owes or promised to the fundraisers. MLM software for charity or fundraising online is Daani's MLM software configured for that: supporter pages, one-time and recurring donations, campaigns, the supporter tree and a donation plan the software calculates every period. More than 100 organisations and companies in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and other countries run their networks on the software. This page covers what a fundraising network needs from the software, the plans it runs, the path from a supporter's page to the report, the question of what a fundraiser may be paid, and the cost.

What a fundraising network needs from the software

• A page per supporter. Every supporter who joins gets a replicated page under the charity's domain with the campaign, the donation form and their own link and QR code; whoever gives or joins through it is recorded under that supporter.
• One-time and recurring gifts. A gift is paid once through the payment gateways, or monthly as a recurring donation that renews in the donor's account until they stop it; the donor sees their history and their receipts in the account.
• Campaigns. A campaign is a product in the catalogue, with a goal and a period; a supporter can raise for one campaign or for the general fund, and the reports show each campaign's total by supporter and by team.
• The supporter tree. The genealogy shows who introduced whom, how many donors each supporter brought and what their whole team raised, which is what a volunteer coordinator looks at.
• Communication. A campaign launch, a milestone or a thank-you is sent to all supporters or to one team from the admin panel by e-mail, SMS or WhatsApp.
• Donation plan, calculated. Whatever the organisation promises its fundraisers, recognition levels, non-cash rewards or, where it is permitted, a percentage, the plan is configured once and calculated every period, with a statement each supporter can see.

What a fundraiser may be paid

That depends on the law of your country and on the status of your organisation. A registered charity in most countries pays its fundraisers no commission on donations and rewards them with recognition, ranks and non-cash benefits; a fundraising company or a cause-related business that sells products and gives part of the price to a cause pays commissions like any network. The software does both. The plan can pay cash, points for rewards or recognition only, and a product-based cause programme, in which supporters sell goods and the charity receives a share of each sale, runs on the same shop and plan as any other product network. The setting is yours; what the software adds is that every promise is recorded and calculated the same way for everyone.

Plans fundraising networks run

The help and donation plan is written for contribution models: members give, receive and are placed according to the plan's rules, and the software tracks the contributions. A charity that rewards its supporters by level uses a unilevel plan as the recognition structure: a supporter's level depends on their own donors and on the donors of the supporters they introduced. A campaign that collects for one goal from many small donors is closer to crowdfunding, which the software covers too. The plans overview compares the plans, and the demo is configured with the one you send.

From a supporter's page to the report

1. A supporter joins from the charity's site or from another supporter's page and receives their page, their link and their back office.
2. They ask their friends; a friend gives once or monthly through the page and receives the receipt in their account.
3. The gift is recorded under the campaign and the supporter; the supporter and their coordinator see it at once in the back office and the app.
4. At the end of the period the software calculates the plan, the recognition levels or the rewards, and the reports by campaign, supporter and team go to the organisation's accounting.

Who uses it

Charities and foundations that run peer-to-peer campaigns; fundraising companies that run campaigns for several causes; cause-related product companies that give part of every sale; and community organisations, schools and clubs that raise through their members. An organisation that also sells health or wellness products in aid of its cause configures the shop the way the healthcare industry page describes.

Cost

The ready-made 4G package costs $50 to $150 USD per month and the 5G and 6G packages up to $800 per month, hosting on the Daani server, updates and support for as long as you are our client included; a charity with campaigns, a plan and a supporter network runs on it. A customised edition, for instance with receipts in the format your tax authority requires or a reporting format for your board, is a one-time project: 3,000 for the 5G package and 6,999 for the 6G, with discounts of up to 70% from time to time. The pricing page has the full list.

Frequently asked questions

Can donors give without joining the network? Yes. A donor gives through a supporter's page and gets an account for their receipts; they join as a supporter only if they ask to.

Can we run several campaigns at once? Yes. Each campaign has its own goal, period and reports, and a supporter can raise for more than one.

Does the software issue tax receipts? It issues a receipt for every gift from the donor's account; the wording and the numbering your authority requires are set up in the customised edition.

Does it work in several countries and currencies? Yes. Pages, gifts and reports are multi-currency and multi-language, and the gateways of each country are connected.
