Words to start from

Your campaign begins with this description. Change anything you like before you publish.

Join us for coffee, cake and a good cause.

Sponsor a square on our coffee cup, whether or not you can come along on the day, and add your name or a message. Every square helps fill the cup.

We'll name the charity we're supporting, explain what the money will fund and share how much our coffee morning raised.

Questions about Coffee morning fundraisers

When should I run a fundraiser for Coffee morning?

Any time of year; some UK charity coffee-morning appeals take place in September. Dates vary by year and location, so check the date where you are and open your grid a week or two before.

How does this coffee cup fundraising grid work?

You set up your coffee cup-shaped grid on GoodGrid and share one link or a printable QR poster. Supporters sponsor squares and can add a name or message, so the coffee cup fills up as money comes in. Payments are processed by Stripe and go to the account you connect.

How much does it cost to run a fundraiser on GoodGrid?

Publishing is free and GoodGrid takes no percentage of what you raise. On the free plan there’s one £10 fee per campaign when it reaches £200 (or the equivalent in another supported currency). We charge the card you save when you publish, separately from sponsorship payments. Stripe’s card fee comes out of each payment automatically, so there’s nothing to pay up front. Running lots of campaigns? With the £9/month plan, campaigns that reach the threshold while you’re subscribed don’t pay the £10 fee. See what you’d keep.

Who receives the money?

The money goes to the Stripe account of the person or group running the fundraiser. Your page should name the charity, project or person you are supporting and explain how the money will be passed on. Fundraisers on GoodGrid are independent and are not official partnerships with the organisers of named events.

Can I change the words, shape, price or currency?

Yes. This idea is a starting point. You can edit the words, shape, currency and price per square before you publish.

This is an editable starting point, not a live fundraiser or a promise of results. Dates vary by year and location. Named events and causes belong to their organisers; fundraisers on GoodGrid are independent, not official partnerships.
