Why is part of YourSchoolMate free?                                                                                                                          YourSchoolMate is privately owned, self-funded, developed, managed and hosted by software professionals. We have built our software mostly with our core team and volunteers. We have been able to cover the additional development cost through our savings. We want our customers to access and benefit from our services and make money on the way to fund further growth.

What is free and what is not? What are the surcharges involved? Are there any hidden costs?
At YourSchoolMate setting up a online fundraiser and webpage is free with no upfront or hidden fees. There is a fee only when an credit card payment is made. There will be a minimal surcharge charged to either the donor or payor. For each payment, a 50 cent + 5% surcharge will be applied with a $1.00 minimum. Donations and payments can range from $2 to $1,000. With donations, the surcharge is paid by the organization so the benefactor only pays their donation amount. With fees, the surcharge is payed by the payor so the organization receives the full amount. For more information on surcharges visit pricing.

How does the organization receive the amount?
YourSchoolMate.com consolidates the net amount of all user payments to the customer organization and sends a single check every month to the organization. Organization users can view private up-to-date online reports of the money collected 24/7 using the easy to use Fund Report screen.
