Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bloom really free?
Yes. There are no platform fees and no monthly subscription. Our revenue comes from optional donor tips — only when a donor chooses to cover processing fees and leave an additional amount for Bloom.
What are the processing fees?
Standard card processing rates apply (the same as any payment processor). At checkout, donors are given the option to cover these fees so your shelter receives the full amount.
What if my donors don't leave tips?
Your shelter still receives the full donation amount. Processing fees apply as they would with any payment processor. Bloom only earns when donors voluntarily tip.
Is there a contract or commitment?
No long-term contracts. You can use Bloom for as long as it works for your shelter, and leave anytime.
What's included?
Everything: a managed website, SEO optimization, Google Ad Grants management, email automation, CRM, fundraising campaigns, shelter management modules, and AI tools.
Do I need technical skills?
No. Bloom is fully managed — we build, configure, and optimize everything. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want.
