What does your childhood cancer nonprofit focus on?

Split 25

Best for nonprofits focusing on family support/advocacy/other, and want to start giving to research while raising recurring funds for their own nonprofit.

25%
minimum to childhood cancer research via Split Donations Example: If an Ally donates $4/mo, with processing fees the total is $4.43/mo. HelloCure passes the small fee to the Ally, which means you already save 10%. Of the actual $4/mo donation, $1 goes to research, and $3 goes to your nonprofit.
All features except...

Limit 250 Allies
Parent and supporter created recurring donation pages

Frequently asked questions:

  • How is HelloCure 100% free?

    Our aim is to ensure that every donation reaches nonprofits in full, maximizing their positive impact. For instance, if a $4 monthly donation has $0.43 in processing fees, the Ally always pays the small $0.43, for a total donation amount of $4.43, guaranteeing that the nonprofit receives the entire $4. HelloCure receives $0. The Meo Family, founders of HelloCure, currently cover all software operating costs out-of-pocket. As usage of the software increases (which we anticipate), we will seek support from conventional donors to assist with operating costs.

  • How do payouts work?

    With HelloCure's secure payment integration to Stripe, the first payout is 7 days after the first successful donation, and all subsequent payouts are on a rolling 2 day basis.

  • Do parents and supporters need a plan?

    No.

  • Does HelloCure offer one-time donations?

    Nope, and it's intentional. All donation amounts are monthly, and the plan names, descriptions, and prices are defined by the donation page creator.

  • If I am on the Split 25 or Hybrid 25 plan, what happens if I reach 250 Allies?

    We'll reach out to notify you about upgrading your plan. For the time being, no automation will occur to "stop" new Allies from signing up. But hopefully, you'll see the value in having more Allies, and maybe you'll contact us first 😉

  • Are Nonprofits verified?

    Yes. Before a Nonprofit can accept real payments, or before a Warrior-Parent can raise money to benefit their chosen Nonprofit, the Nonprofit must be verified by HelloCure. The verification process is manual and completed by our team.
