Or we will check it for you once you create an account and landing page or contact us directly at info@infleuncethecause.com for approval.

How long can I be listed on Influence the Cause and how much can I raise?

There is a timeframe you need to place into each campaign, so it is up to you how long the campaign runs for. You can raise any amount you so choose and keep all funds raised (less fees).

What if I do not reach my goal, do I keep what has been raised?

Since donations are directed right into your designated account you keep whatever you generate during your campaign.

How do we receive the donations?

All donations received (less our and payment processing fee) are set up through Stripe and linked to your direct Stripe account and available through their terms of service. So you will have to set up a Stripe account if you do not already have one and are responsible for the fees associated with those accounts.
