For the whole committee
Fundraising shouldn’t fall on one volunteer.
Invite the people helping with your PTA, club or community fundraiser. Give each person the access they need, while keeping payment and campaign ownership clear.
Three roles, clear boundaries
- Owner
- Controls the payment account, publishing, campaign money and inventory, team access and deletion.
- Editor
- Can work on campaign content and updates. Payment setup, publishing and campaign money stay with the owner.
- Promoter
- Can use ready-to-send promotion copy, campaign assets and a private preview, without payment or publishing controls.
Tools for launch day and the school hall
- Sponsor selection share cards: supporters can download a share image after a confirmed sponsorship.
- Printable QR posters: put the campaign link where families can scan it.
- Live event screen: show the campaign grid on a larger display.
- Ready-to-send promotion copy: adapt messages for WhatsApp, families, newsletters and social posts.
Sponsorship payments are processed by Stripe and go to the owner’s connected account. Stripe controls verification and payout timing; collaborators do not manage campaign funds.

*These are country- and card-specific published examples, not global rates. Actual fees depend on the connected account, card and Stripe agreement. GoodGrid supports campaign amounts in GBP, EUR, USD, CAD, AUD, NZD, CHF, SEK, NOK, DKK, PLN, CZK, SGD, HKD, JPY; this does not make every country or organiser eligible. Check Stripe’s country availability and pricing for your account.
GoodGrid optional subscription: £9/month for unlimited published campaigns during subscription coverage. A campaign that reaches the qualifying threshold during that coverage has its success fee waived permanently; an earlier free-plan fee remains payable.
Rates depend on product, country, account and card. Currency conversion and other payment costs may apply. Registered-charity services have separate pricing where offered. Sources checked 17 October 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Costs, payments and getting started
How does GoodGrid compare to traditional crowdfunding?
Supporters sponsor squares on your public grid, making progress visible as squares fill. Payments go to your connected Stripe account; bank payouts follow Stripe's verification and payout schedule, not the moment a square is sponsored.
Is there a fee to use GoodGrid?
There is no GoodGrid percentage cut. On the free plan, publishing costs £0 and a one-time £10 success fee applies per campaign after £200 or more in qualifying sponsorships (or the equivalent in another supported currency). We charge it separately in GBP using the payment method you authorise at publication, not by deducting it from sponsorships. The organiser still pays Stripe processing and any applicable conversion, banking, refund or dispute costs on sponsorships, including before the £200 threshold. The optional subscription is £9/month with no success fees while it applies; any separately offered extension is shown before payment.
How do I receive my funds?
Your verified connected Stripe account receives sponsorship payments. Stripe controls when funds become available and when they are paid to your bank; processing, conversion, banking, refunds and disputes can reduce the amount you receive. Check the transaction and payout details in Stripe.
Can committee members help manage and promote a campaign?
Yes. Owners can invite editors to work on campaign content and updates, or promoters to use campaign promotion copy, event assets and a private preview. Only the owner controls the connected payment account, publishing, campaign money and inventory.
Can supporters pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay?
GoodGrid uses hosted Stripe Checkout. Apple Pay or Google Pay may be offered when the device, browser, Stripe account and payment are eligible; wallet availability is not guaranteed for every supporter or account.
How long can my campaign run?
Free-plan campaigns run for one year from publication. Eligible campaigns can be extended for a separately displayed fee. Subscriber campaigns do not have a fixed end date while the qualifying subscription is active; check your dashboard if your plan changes.
What makes GoodGrid different from the Million Dollar Homepage?
GoodGrid lets you run your own fundraising grid. Choose the number of squares and minimum price, share your page, and track sponsorships. Supporters can add their names and messages if they wish. Payments use your connected Stripe account.
Can I raise money outside the UK?
GoodGrid supports campaigns in several currencies, including GBP, EUR and USD. Organisers need a Stripe account in a supported country and must complete Stripe's verification before accepting payments. Choosing a currency does not guarantee account eligibility. Stripe's processing, currency conversion and payout costs depend on your account and payments.
Can I choose the number of squares and the price?
Yes. Set an exact number of saleable squares and a minimum amount per square. For example, 1,000 squares at a minimum of €100 gives a €100,000 target before fees. Supporters may pay more than the minimum; extra money does not fill other squares.
