Elev8 is a modern fundraising platform that empowers organizations to turn everyday transactions into impactful donations. By leveraging tools like round-up donations, recurring giving, and real-time engagement, Elev8 simplifies the fundraising process and helps organizations connect with their donors in meaningful ways.
Elev8 works by linking donors’ credit or debit cards to the platform. When a donor makes a purchase, Elev8 rounds up the transaction to the nearest dollar and donates the difference to the selected cause. Donors can also set up recurring donations or participate in real-time fundraising events. The platform tracks these donations and provides detailed analytics to help organizations manage and optimize their fundraising efforts.
Yes, there is a cost associated with using the Elev8 program. Elev8 charges a small administrative fee (typically 4%) on each donation, which covers the costs of processing transactions and maintaining the platform. This fee is either the administrative percentage or the standard credit card processing fee, whichever is greater.
Enrollment in the Elev8 program is simple. Visit our website and sign up by providing basic information about your organization. Once your account is created, you can link your credit or debit cards, customize your fundraising campaigns, and start raising funds.
The enrollment process is quick and can be completed in just a few minutes. Once you’ve signed up, your account will be activated immediately, and you can start linking your cards and setting up your campaigns right away.
No, your credit card points and rewards are not affected by participating in the Elev8 program. The platform operates separately from your credit card’s loyalty program, so you can continue to earn points or cashback as usual.
No, you do not need to share your banking details to participate in the Elev8 program. The platform only requires you to link your credit or debit card, ensuring that your banking information remains secure.
Elev8 collects minimal information from your purchases to process donations. For round-up donations, only the dollar amounts of your transactions are collected to calculate the round-up amount. For cashback rewards, we collect the date and amount of qualifying purchases. No detailed transaction information is stored, and your data is protected with industry-standard security measures.
Yes, Elev8 is highly secure. We use a PCI-compliant vault to tokenize and encrypt your credit card details, ensuring that your information is anonymized and non-identifiable. Your card information is never stored on our servers, and we comply with all relevant security standards to protect your data.
