That seems fair enough - rethinking about it that probably makes it easier to support other payment types too - indiegogo seem to quote 3-5% for various options. BTW your pricing does seem really cheap compared, is there any reason beyond you just charging less?

Tbh I'm not a huge user of these tools, just thought my feedback could be useful :) I've donated to a few indiegogo campaigns and raised on there twice. The faith aspect also isn't really interesting to me, but the site suggests it'll be available to others too? Btw I think the video only mentioned the faith aspect so it might be worth making it more general at some point too.

What allows us to charge only %1 is the fact that we are not investor funded. All of the indi-gogo's and the look alikes have to charge %5 so they can pay back the pockets funding them. We are building from the ground up- we believe our product will truly help nonprofits, so we're not interested in making a profit off of a handful, we won't be making much until we have over 200 nonprofits utilizing our service.

We are also working on removing the faith aspect. Our original target market was churches, but we realize nonprofits in general need what we have.
