How to create Fundraiser for Your Organization
Whether you're a company or an association, you can use Neki to raise funds for a cause that matters to your organization. Whether it's disaster relief, education, environmental action, or employee-led initiatives, this feature helps you:
- Keep everything in one place
- Increase transparency
- Reach more people—especially those already engaged with your organization
Note: You can create this fundraiser only if this feature is included in your subscription plan. If it's not currently part of your plan and you'd like to upgrade, feel free to reach out to our team at hello@neki.io.
How Funds Are Collected
To collect funds directly through Neki, you'll need to connect your Stripe account. Once connected, all contributions made through your fundraiser go straight to your Stripe account—securely and instantly.
Don’t have Stripe yet? You can set it up in a few simple steps:

If you’d prefer to collect contributions outside of Neki (for example, through your own donation platform or website), you can add an external contribution link instead. In that case, when someone clicks “Contribute”, they’ll be redirected to your external contribution page.
Here’s how to get started:
Step 1: Log in to your Neki account. Click on "Fundraisers" from the top menu. Select “For Your Organization” as the fundraiser type.
This ensures the funds raised go directly to your organization’s connected Stripe account.
Step 2: Add an External Contribution Link (Optional)
If you’d like contributors to donate via another platform (such as your own website or payment gateway), you can add an external contribution link.
When someone clicks “Contribute” on your fundraiser, they’ll be redirected to this external link.
This is useful if:
a. You already collect funds on your own site.
b. You want to manage funds outside of Neki but still use Neki to promote your cause.
Step 3: Add the Fundraiser Details
Include the basics people need to feel connected and inspired to support:
Title – Make it clear and engaging.
Description – Explain the cause and how the funds will be used.
Fundraising Goal – Set a target to aim for.
Start and End Date – Choose the duration of your fundraiser.
Photos or a Video – Visuals go a long way in telling your story.
Tip: Be specific and heartfelt—why this cause, why now, and how will their support make a difference?
Step 4: Make It Public (Optional)
Select “Make Public” to turn your post into a public fundraiser. You can also choose to feature it, so it appears more prominently on your public community page. Once made public, anyone visiting your organization's public page on Neki can view and contribute to your fundraiser.
