Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about setting up your mission page and receiving support.

How long does it take to set up my mission page?

Most Christian workers finish signing up, connecting their bank account, and publishing their profile in under 30 minutes. You can keep adding photos, updates, and details after you launch.

How do I actually receive donations?

Devotion Fund uses Stripe Connect to send donations straight to your bank account—there's no waiting period or fund holding. Donors can give a one-time gift or set up recurring monthly support with a card, ACH, or SEPA transfer.

What fees does Devotion Fund charge?

We charge a 5% platform fee on ACH and SEPA bank transfers and 7% on credit or debit card donations. Stripe's payment-processing fees are paid out of that platform fee, not charged on top. There's no setup fee and no monthly subscription.

Is my financial information secure?

Yes. Every payment runs through Stripe, a PCI-compliant processor used by millions of businesses. Devotion Fund never stores your card numbers or bank credentials directly.

Can supporters follow me without donating?

Yes. You can allow free followers who receive your updates by email without giving, so your wider community can stay connected even when they're not able to give right now.

What happens after I share my mission page?

Every post you publish is automatically emailed to your followers and donors, so you don't have to send updates manually. Your dashboard shows new followers, donations, and engagement as they happen.
