Solo fundraisers should not need to invent an organization.
Most calendar tools assume you are a PTA, a church, or a nonprofit with a roster of volunteers. If you are one person with a goal, you end up stuffing your name into an org signup or running donations through a generic link with no calendar.
MonthFund gives individuals the same structured month as teams get, without invites, admin dashboards, or monthly subscriptions. One page, one calendar, one Stripe Connect account.
Three steps to a live personal page.
Create your account
Sign up with your name, pick your month and goal, and claim your personal link (app.monthfund.com/u/yourname). Takes about a minute before Stripe setup.
Connect payouts
Onboard with Stripe Connect Express so donations route to you. We collect a 5% platform fee on each gift. Donors can cover fees in one click.
Share and fill the month
Post your link to friends, family, and social. Donors claim a day and give the matching amount. Progress stays public on your calendar.
What you pay when you raise money.
Applied as an application fee on each donation. No monthly subscription for personal accounts.
Standard card processing on your connected Stripe account (nonprofit rates may be lower if you qualify).
If every calendar day is claimed at face value ($1 + $2 + … + $31). Outcomes depend on your network.
Fees are shown to donors at checkout. You can upgrade to a full organization later and keep your history.
Everything you need. Nothing meant for a committee.
Shareable personal URL
Your app.monthfund.com/u/yourname link is what you share on social, texts, and email.
One live calendar
Donors see your month, claim days, and pay online. No paper sign-up sheet.
Fast setup
Skip team invites and org branding. Connect Stripe when you are ready to accept donations.
Grow into an org later

Credibility at a glance
A real calendar page reads more serious than a one-off payment link, especially for schools and memorial drives.
Direct payouts
Stripe Connect Express puts funds in your account. Disputes and refunds follow Stripe’s connected-account rules.
No subscription tax
Personal accounts are free to run. You only pay the platform fee when donations come in.
Questions from solo fundraisers
No. Personal accounts are for individuals. You sign up as yourself, connect your own Stripe account, and share your calendar. If you later form a group, you can convert to an organization account.
MonthFund charges a 5% platform fee on each donation. Stripe charges card processing separately (typically about 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). Donors can optionally cover fees at checkout.
Organization plans add team invites, multiple campaigns, admin seats, and lower fees (Community starts at 3% infrastructure fee). If you convert from personal to organization, you move to Community pricing. Personal accounts stay single-fundraiser with a 5% platform fee and no subscription.
Yes. Many users keep a personal page for their own goal while volunteering on a separate org account. Each has its own login context.
MonthFund is a live, actively used platform. It runs on a clear, structured model: calendar-based collective fundraising with defined daily accountability. Organizers launch campaigns, track progress in real time, and get support from a team that has worked inside the organizations this tool is built for.
