TYPES OF CAMPAIGNS

Three different types of campaigns:

  1. All or nothing (with or without rewards for the donor) - This type of campaign needs a total goal to be reached by campaign's end date. If this condition is false at the closing date of the campaign all donations are refunded. This type of campaign is generally used when the project to be funded needs the total target, 100% of the amount indicated.
  2. Moneypot (with or without rewards for the donor) - This type of campaign accepts all donations. It's the perfect one to choose when it is not necessary to reach 100% of the target, ie. for daily operational needs for which any donation helps.
  3. Relief (no rewards for the donor) - This type of campaign only allows in-kind donations ie. for emergencies, natural disasters etc .. Choosing this type of campaign offers the option to add a list of needed items and specify collection and delivery terms.

 

FEES - EXTERNAL COSTS

For "All or Nothing" and "Moneypot" campaigns donations can be accepted via:

  • Wire transfer. Fee for the donor depends on his bank's contract for the underlying bank account. The recipient pays a one-per-campaign fee of € 1.10 at the end of the campaign for the single transfer from SFN's to his account.
  • Money Transfer Fees Owner of the Campaign must pay all gateway transfer fees when collecting money from the Campaign Account. These fees fluctuate, and some companies charge a minimum fee.
