Alvarum vs Continue to Give

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.

US and Canadian churches, faith-based nonprofits, and missionaries that want an all-in-one giving platform with recurring and text giving, event tools, and built-in fund accounting.

• ✓All-in-one toolkit: online giving, recurring and text giving, event registration, newsletters, and built-in fund accounting.
• ✓Explicit faith-based positioning with a pledge not to deplatform organizations over their faith.
• ✓Tiered plans including a no-monthly-cost Silver tier and a Gold tier with interchange-plus card rates.
• ✓Optional donor-covers-fees toggle so organizations can receive the full donation amount.
