A real page that explains what you're raising money for and takes real donations — built by describing it to Otto in plain English. Free to start, no login, no developer.
Build your donation page now →What you're raising money for and why — Otto asks the right follow-up questions.
Otto builds a real, working page with you and you see it run right on your screen.
On Pro, Otto wires in a free Stripe donate button — money goes straight to your account.
A donation page's whole job is to answer three questions fast: what is this for, where does the money go, and how do I give.
Lead with a short, specific, honest explanation of the cause — vague appeals ("help us do good work") convert worse than specific ones ("we're raising $2,000 to replace the food pantry's broken freezer"). A concrete number and a concrete purpose build more trust than a big ask with no detail.
You don't need a nonprofit platform's monthly fee or a percentage cut on every donation to get started. Describe the page you need, connect your own free Stripe account, and the money goes directly to you.
Yes, on Pro. Otto helps you connect a free Stripe Payment Link (no code, no server) and wires a real donate button into your page, so money goes straight to your own account.
No. Payments go through your own Stripe account, straight to you. Stripe has its own standard processing fee, same as any payment processor, but OttoAndMe doesn't add a platform cut on top.
Any fundraiser — a registered nonprofit, a school fundraiser, a mutual aid collection, a memorial fund, a community project. Describe what it's for and Otto builds the page around it.
