We'll send you a sample Village ask so you can experience it the same way someone you're fundraising from would.
No donation required. No app required. We send one email and don't keep your address.

That's it.
No story.
No context.
Maybe you're not even sure it's real.
You know who sent it before you open the link.
You see who's asking.
You hear why.
The person asking changes.
The principle doesn't.
A student tells the people who care about them why the program needs their help.
A player makes the ask. A parent controls the phone. The family manages it all in one place.
Someone going to serve tells people where they're going and why it matters.
A supporter leaves your gala excited about the mission and brings that story to five people who weren't in the room.
Then send the ask yourself, from your own phone.
They tap. They watch. They give.
Say thank you. Personally.
The people who helped should get to see that too.
The young person can tell the story.
The adult owns the account.
The adult chooses who receives the message.
The adult sends it.
Village is designed without student accounts, public student profiles, a public feed, or a student-to-adult messaging channel. Organizers retain oversight of campaign video content.
No call with a rep to find out. No rate that climbs if participation is low. No "tip" quietly added to your donors' gifts.
The money lands in your organization's own Stripe account — we never hold it. And your treasurer can trace every dollar back to a name, from our reports or straight out of Stripe.
The text said it came from my nephew.
The number wasn't his.
There was no video.
No explanation of what they were raising money for.
I wasn't even sure it was real.
So I called my sister.
She didn't really know where the money was going either.
I gave anyway.
And afterward?
Nothing meaningful.
I've spent more than 27 years in professional fundraising.
That experience was the opposite of what good fundraising is supposed to feel like.
Then I learned it wasn't an exception.
It was normal.
Tell the story.
Send it yourself.
Thank the people who help.
The Village app is where participants record, share, and send donation links. Campaign organizers set up campaigns through the web portal.
