Alvarum vs Teaming

French and European charities and associations running cause-based or sports-challenge fundraising who want donations paid directly to the beneficiary and support for European local payment methods.

• ✓Donations are routed directly to the beneficiary charity and settled on an automated monthly cycle rather than held by the platform.
• ✓Strong fit for sports-challenge and participatory event fundraising such as marathons and cycling events.
• ✓European local payment methods - iDEAL, Bancontact, Sofort, and SEPA direct debit - alongside Visa and Mastercard cards.
• ✓Payments handled by HiPay, a payment institution authorised by France's ACPR; Alvarum registered with ORIAS as a donation crowdfunding intermediary.

European supporters and small NGOs that prefer steady, low-commitment recurring giving - one euro a month per cause through a Teaming Group - over one-off donation campaigns.

• ✓Simple, recurring one-euro-a-month microdonation model that gives causes predictable monthly income.
• ✓Run by the nonprofit Teaming Foundation, which funds platform operations through trustees, partner companies and pro-bono support.
• ✓Collective "Teaming Groups" let companies and communities pool many small contributions behind one cause.
• ✓Recurring-by-design, supporting long-term sustainability for grassroots organizations.
