Hear From Our
Community

Real people, real campaigns, real impact. Here's what our fundraisers have to say.

"

I asked my network to skip buying me a birthday gift and donate instead. I honestly didn't expect much — but within 48 hours I'd raised more than $2,000. The Volk team sent me a report showing exactly how many children my fundraiser fed. I cried.

We ran a company-wide campaign for two weeks. Our CEO matched all donations, so every dollar was doubled. The real-time dashboard meant our team could see progress and compete with each other. Incredible engagement — and $11,000 raised for Cambodian schools.

I cycled 400km over ten days and got friends to sponsor me per kilometre. The Volk page made it so easy — I shared updates, my donors got automatic receipts, and I could see my total climbing in real time. Best thing I've ever done.

Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

Is it free to start a fundraiser? +
Yes, completely free. Volk Donations covers all platform fees and payment processing costs. 100% of money donated through your campaign reaches our programs. You will never be charged to create or run a campaign.
How do I receive the funds I raise? +
You don't receive the funds directly — all donations go straight to Volk Donations on your behalf. This is what allows donors to receive a tax-deductible receipt. At the close of your campaign, we send you and all your donors a full impact report showing exactly how the funds were used.
Are donations tax-deductible? +
Yes. Volk Donations is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 45-1234567). All donations made through our platform — including through your fundraiser — are fully tax-deductible for US donors. We automatically issue official tax receipts to every donor on your behalf. International donors should consult local tax law.
Can I choose which program my fundraiser supports? +
Yes. When setting up your campaign, you can direct funds to a specific program area — Education Access, Child Welfare, Healthcare, Digital Learning, or Emergency Response. You can also leave it as "Where it's needed most" and our team will allocate funds to the highest-priority programs at the time your campaign closes.
How long can my campaign run? +
Campaigns can run for any duration between 1 day and 90 days. Research shows that campaigns between 2–4 weeks perform best — long enough to build momentum, short enough to maintain urgency. Our team will advise on the best duration for your campaign type when you get in touch.
What support does Volk Donations provide? +
Every fundraiser gets access to a personal campaign page, shareable graphics and email templates, a real-time donation dashboard, donor thank-you tools, and our fundraiser support team via email and phone. For campaigns over $5,000, you'll be assigned a dedicated fundraising advisor who will help you strategize and maximize your impact.
What happens if I don't reach my goal? +
Every dollar counts regardless of whether you hit your goal. All funds raised — even if you fall short — are sent in full to your chosen program. Goals exist to motivate donors and create urgency; they are not a threshold you must hit for the money to matter.
