Live fundraising your whole room can watch
Fayd is a live-fundraising platform for nonprofits and community organizations. At an event, guests scan a QR code or type a short code, watch a shared total climb on the big screen, and give with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a card. Every online gift is charged directly on the organization's own payment account, so the money goes to the organization and Fayd never holds it.

How an event works
- The organization sets up an event. It chooses a goal, how it will collect gifts (online, its own card machine, cash and cheques, or any mix) and gets a join code and QR code.
- Guests join and give. No app and no account: a first name is enough. Guests react, see their gift appear on the screen, and get a tax receipt by email if they want one.
- The room sees one honest total. The big screen moves only when a payment is confirmed by the payment provider, and celebrates milestones and large gifts as they happen.
- The organization closes out with proof. A ledger of every gift, an audit log that cannot be edited, and a public transparency report with totals and fees.
What organizations get
- A live screen and room for the event, with milestones and a gift feed.
- Online gifts by card, Apple Pay and Google Pay, paid out to the organization's own bank account by its payment provider.
- A way to record cash, cheques, pledges and payments taken on the venue's own card machine, next to online gifts.
- Tax receipts for donors in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.
- Role-based access with two-factor authentication for anyone who can move money.
- Connections to Salesforce and HubSpot, signed webhooks and a read-only API.
Who it is for
Registered charities and community organizations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada that run live giving moments: galas, school and community events, and appeals. We are running pilot events with a small number of organizations now, and onboarding more through Contact.
What it costs
Organizations pay a monthly plan by the number of guests who join in a month: Starter $20.00 a month, Growth $50.00 a month, and Scale $200.00 a month. On online gifts, donors pay a small processing line on top (shown before they pay), so the organization receives the full gift. Gifts the team records from cash, cheques or its own card machine carry no Fayd fee. All prices are in US dollars. Details are on Pricing, and our refund and dispute handling is on Refunds.
