Alvarum vs DierenDonatie

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.

Dutch animal shelters, wildlife-care centres, and animal-welfare foundations that need specific goods funded - food, equipment, or veterinary care - and value a CBF-accredited, transparent donation platform.

• ✓Exclusively focused on animal-welfare causes in the Netherlands
• ✓Recognised as one of the first CBF-accredited donation platforms (CBF-Erkend Donatieplatform)
• ✓Product-fulfilment model: donors fund specific items the platform buys and ships to the foundation
• ✓Flat per-project contribution (EUR 10 up to EUR 300, EUR 25 above) rather than a percentage cut of donations
