Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for nonprofit leaders looking at passive fundraising.
What is passive fundraising?
Passive fundraising is support that comes in while people go about their normal lives, such as shopping, eating out or paying for everyday things, instead of being asked to write a separate check. Supporters keep doing what they already do, and a share of that activity goes to the cause.
How does NectarPay Community Share work?
Participating local businesses accept payments on the NectarPay terminal. Your supporters use a free wallet branded for your nonprofit. When a supporter pays at a participating business, 8% of that purchase goes back to your nonprofit, and the supporter earns POP (Proof of Participation) points.
Does it cost our nonprofit anything?
The supporter wallet is free for your supporters. On the 15-minute call we will show you exactly how it works on the nonprofit side so you can decide whether it fits.
Are POP points worth money?
No. POP points recognize participation. They are not cash, have no cash value and are not an investment.
How much will our organization raise?
It depends on how many supporters use the wallet and how much they spend at participating businesses. We do not promise or estimate dollar amounts.
What kinds of organizations can use Community Share?
It is built for nonprofits and community causes such as schools, PTOs, youth sports, churches, food pantries, animal rescues and other local charities. On the call we'll show you how it would look for your organization.
Which businesses take part?
Local businesses that accept payments on the NectarPay terminal. On the call we can show you how businesses in your area can join.
Do supporters have to pay for the wallet?
No. The supporter wallet is free and branded for your nonprofit.
Is this a replacement for our other fundraising?
No. It is a background layer of support that runs alongside your appeals and events, so you can ask less often.
What happens on the 15-minute call?
We show you the supporter wallet, how local businesses take part and what your organization sees on its side. You can ask anything. There's no cost and no obligation.
Is NectarPay a cryptocurrency or investment?
Community Share is presented here as a way for supporters to give through everyday local purchases. POP points are participation recognition only, are not an investment and have no cash value.
