How Pageraise works

A direct line between generosity and the people who need it.

Pageraise connects Creators who need to raise money with Contributors who want to help, and then gets out of the way. No platform fees, no held funds, no waiting. Here is exactly how it works, end to end.

For Creators

From idea to funded, in five steps.

Everything you need to raise money for what matters to you, without giving up a percentage of what people give you.

Start raising
1

Create your free account

Sign up with an email and password, choose a unique @username, and your profile is live. No fees to start, no credit card required.

2

Build your fundraising page

Give it a title, tell your story, add a cover image and a goal amount, and pick a category so the right supporters can find it. Your page is ready in minutes.

3

Connect your bank account

We use Stripe, the same infrastructure trusted by millions of businesses worldwide, to verify your identity and connect your bank. It takes a few minutes and happens entirely on Stripe's secure, encrypted forms.

4

Share your page

Send your link anywhere: text, email, social media. Anyone can view your fundraiser and contribute instantly. Supporters do not need to create an account to give.

5

Get paid directly

Every contribution goes straight from the supporter's card to your Stripe-connected bank account. Pageraise never holds your money, and we never take a cut.

For Contributors

Giving takes less than a minute.

No account required to contribute. Find a fundraiser, decide what it is worth to you, and send it.

Browse fundraisers
1

Find a cause you care about

Search by name, category, or browse what's active right now. Every public fundraiser is discoverable, and every creator profile shows their full track record.

2

Choose your contribution

Pick a preset amount or enter your own. Add a personal message of support if you like, and choose whether your name appears publicly or stays anonymous.

3

Pay securely

Checkout runs on Stripe's payment infrastructure with support for cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Your card details are never seen or stored by Pageraise.

4

Your money goes straight through

Your contribution transfers directly to the creator's bank account through Stripe. If you choose to leave an optional tip, that's the only part that supports Pageraise.

The honest version

How your money actually moves.

No fine print, no hidden percentage. This is the entire path a contribution takes.

Contributor

Pays by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay

Stripe

Processes the payment securely

Creator's bank

Receives the full amount directly

Pageraise is not in this chain. We never touch, hold, or route the contribution itself, only the optional tip a contributor may choose to add.

Zero platform fees, always

We do not deduct a percentage from any contribution. Creators keep 100% of what supporters give them. The only revenue Pageraise earns is from a voluntary tip a contributor may choose to add at checkout, and that choice is always optional and always visible.

Money never passes through us

Pageraise is not a bank, and we do not hold, custody, or manage contributed funds at any point. Payments move directly from a contributor's card to a creator's Stripe-connected bank account. We built it this way on purpose: less risk, less delay, more of your money where it belongs.

Transparent, trackable pages

Every fundraiser shows a live progress bar, a public list of contributions (unless a contributor chooses to stay anonymous), and updates the creator posts along the way. Nothing about the numbers is hidden or manipulated after the fact.

Content standards we actually enforce

Every fundraiser is subject to our Platform Guidelines, which prohibit fraud, misrepresentation, and a long list of harmful content. Reports are reviewed, and violations carry real consequences, up to permanent account termination and forfeiture of pending payouts.
