Model recurring funding from the businesses that support you.
Bars show annual funding as your network grows to the size above, in steps of one fifth.
Illustrative estimate. Actual donations depend on each business's volume and card mix, and are recorded in the network ledger every month.
Every business that moves its card processing to BrightStar and designates your organization adds a monthly donation. This calculator estimates how that funding grows with the size of your network.
No. Donations come from BrightStar's margin on each business's processing. There is no fee to join and nothing to buy.
Every donation is entered in the network ledger by month, and your organization can show its totals on its own page on this site.
