Words to start from
Your campaign begins with this description. Change anything you like before you publish.
Let's make this celebration a chance to give something back.
Sponsor a square on our star grid to support a community project, essential supplies or gifts for people who need them. Add a name or message and invite friends, family or colleagues to join in.
We'll explain who will benefit, what the money will fund and when it will reach them. We'll share progress and a final update after the appeal.
Questions about Festive community giving fundraisers
When should I run a fundraiser for Festive community giving?
Your local festive season or celebration. 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 star fundraising grid work?
You set up your star-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 star 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.
