Our PATRON4Change team also cannot live on air alone and we also need money to host the platform. Therefore, 10 percent of patron’s money are going to the association that ensures constant and smooth platform operation. This money is also invested into development of the platform, digital infrastructure and personnel. That is why we keep 1 Euro out of a 10 Euro-contribution.
Our payment instrument Stripe also charges 0,25 Euro per transaction plus percentage of a contribution depending on a credit card: it makes 1,2% with Visa- and MasterCard and 2,9% with all AMEX Cards, such as non- EU Visa and MasterCards.
PATRON4change is a non-profit project that means that we only need funds to cover our costs and we do not make profit. We will disclose the information regarding the cash flow as soon as we have it. Transparency is one of our key principles.
