What FreeFunder is

FreeFunder is a web service for creating personal crowdfunding campaigns for needs such as medical bills, funeral costs and personal projects. To start a fundraiser, an owner fills out a short form describing the amount they want to raise and why they need the funds. They can customize the campaign page with color schemes, formatted text, pictures and tables, then share it or embed it on another website using a few lines of code. Owners can add team members with read-only or read-write permissions, post updates and email those updates to followers. Keyword-based text-to-donate is available for offline fundraising events and promotions.

FreeFunder says it charges no platform fees and relies on voluntary donations. Card donations processed through Stripe incur a 2.9% + $0.30 processing fee, deducted from the donation. Owners can also accept donations through Venmo, PayPal or Cash App outside the card flow and record them on their fundraiser page; these methods can avoid processing fees. FreeFunder says contributions go to a separate Stripe account belonging to the campaign owner or beneficiary, then to their bank account. The service is intended for personal causes, and campaigns cannot offer rewards or investment opportunities. The listed Free personal crowdfunding plan is free.
