04Questions
What organization leaders ask first.
What does it cost our organization?
Nothing. There is no fee to join and nothing to buy. Donations come from BrightStar's margin on the businesses' processing.
Do we have to sell anything?
No. You introduce us to business owners who already support you. We handle the statement review, the proposal and the setup.
How often are donations made?
Monthly, for as long as each business's account stays open. That makes it income you can budget against.
Can we see what we have received?
Yes. Donations are recorded by month in the network ledger, and you can choose to show your totals publicly on your organization's network page.
Which organizations qualify?
Ministries, K-12 schools, universities, foundations, endowments, chambers of commerce, booster clubs, athletic leagues, alumni associations and other community organizations.
