Frequently Asked Questions

How does GoodGrid compare to other fundraising platforms?
Turn fundraising into something people can see and share. Supporters sponsor squares and can add a name, message, logo or photo, plus an optional website link. Each square makes your progress visible and gives supporters a thank-you they can share. GoodGrid takes no percentage of sponsorships: create a draft for free and publish on the free plan for £0 upfront, with one £10 campaign fee after £200 in qualifying sponsorships (or the verified GBP equivalent). The optional £9/month plan covers unlimited live campaigns, with no £10 fee for campaigns that pass £200 while you’re subscribed. Stripe processing and any applicable conversion or payout fees are separate. Compare plans and payment costs.
Can I choose how my grid and campaign page look?
Absolutely! You can choose your grid size or an exact number of squares, set a square price in a supported campaign currency such as GBP, EUR or USD, and add custom content like images, videos, and updates. Your campaign page is fully customisable to match your branding or vision. Stripe account eligibility and payment limits apply.
How will people find my campaign?
GoodGrid provides built-in sharing tools for social media, email, and embedding options. Each person who sponsors a square can also share their contribution, creating a network effect. Additionally, active campaigns appear in our Explore section for more visibility.
How quickly can I access my funds?
Sponsorship payments go to your own connected Stripe account, not a GoodGrid balance, and Stripe pays them into your bank. You do not need to wait for your campaign to finish. Bear in mind that first payouts can take longer while Stripe checks your details, and timing depends on your country and bank; you can see expected arrival dates in Stripe. Need money faster? Some eligible accounts can request Instant Payouts, typically arriving within 30 minutes, for an additional Stripe fee (new accounts are not immediately eligible).
