Before You Start
Create the Campaign
- Open your community, choose Switch to Admin, then Create Campaign.
- Choose the campaign type and add a title, a goal, a cover photo and the story of what the money is for. Dates and more photos are optional.
- Submit it. Until UMMA approves it, only you and your admins can see it.
How Donations Work
- Donors pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or from a US bank account on the website.
- UMMA keeps a small platform fee, and donors can choose to cover it.
- A campaign with no end date can also take weekly or monthly donations.
- Donors get an email receipt that names your community. A donation to a community campaign goes to that community and is not a tax-deductible donation to UMMA Foundation.
- Donations are paid out to the owner's bank account through Stripe.
