Organizer questions

Any group that gathers around a cause — churches, steppers socials, family reunions, scholarship funds, mutual-aid circles, and more. You don't need a registered nonprofit to start. If you have a 501(c)(3), you'll certify it when you set up your organization; if you don't, you can still raise — your receipts are marked clearly so no donor is surprised.

Your legal name, your bank account details, and — if you're certifying as a 501(c)(3) — your EIN. Stripe collects this through its own secure, hosted onboarding form; MrsTubs never sees your bank details directly.

Two things have to be true before you can accept gifts: Stripe has to enable charges on your account, and Stripe has to enable payouts. Most organizers finish this step in one sitting.

On Stripe's normal payout schedule for your account — the same schedule any Stripe account runs on. MrsTubs doesn't add a separate payout day, doesn't hold a balance, and doesn't sit between your account and your bank.

$0 platform fee — MrsTubs takes nothing out of any gift. The only cost is Stripe's own card-processing fee (2.2% + 30¢ if you're enrolled in Stripe's nonprofit rate, 2.9% + 30¢ if you're not), which goes to Stripe, not to us. Donors can optionally cover that fee at checkout so you keep the full gift. See the full breakdown on the Pricing page.

Coming soon — this is not built yet, so there is nothing to turn on today. When it ships it will be an add-on you switch on yourself: your campaign can attach a ticketed event powered by the same engine that runs MrStubs.com ticketing, with an optional donation-on-top at checkout. It stays separate from regular MrStubs events, which never carry a donation ask — the two only cross when a fundraiser chooses to add ticketing.

Refunds and disputes are handled the same way any Stripe charge on your account is handled — through your own Stripe account, on Stripe's terms. MrsTubs shows you the status of a refund or dispute on a gift, but MrsTubs doesn't process refunds or fight disputes on your behalf; that stays with you and Stripe directly.

MrsTubs gives every donor a receipt that shows the amount, the date, and your organization's name — and, when a donor received something of value in return (a ticket, a meal, an item), the fair-market value of that item separate from the gift amount. What that receipt means for a donor's taxes, and what your organization's own tax status is, is between your organization and your donors. MrsTubs doesn't advise on tax status and doesn't state one on your behalf.
