Step 1
Start your campaign
Tell us what you're raising for. Add a photo, a goal, a story. You're live the same day — no setup fee, no waiting.
How it works
Start. Share. Grow.
Shareathon is a smarter way to raise. We share our profits with you because you share our platform with others. Simple.
The rhythm
Three steps. That's the whole thing.
Step 2
Invite your people to share
Parents, friends, alumni, neighbors — anyone who loves your cause can grab a link. Every share is one-tap simple, public or private.
Step 3
Watch your cause grow
Donations come in. When the gift-card thank-you is turned on, sharers get rewarded automatically. And when you invite another group to Shareathon, their campaigns start paying you 10% through the Share Fund.
The model
One simple split. 80 / 10 / 10.
Every campaign on Shareathon runs on the same friendly math. No plan picker, no fine print, no monthly fees. Just one all-in split that covers everything.
Your cause keeps
80%
Every donation. Every campaign. Every time. Your cause keeps 80% no matter who you are — school, church, club, or nonprofit.
Share Fund
10%
Goes to the Share Fund, not to any one person. It's paid to the group that invited you onto Shareathon — and it comes back to you when you invite another group.
Shareathon
10%
All-in. Covers hosting, support, payouts, and ScriptureGrams if you use them. No add-ons.
Card processing: donors cover a small processing fee at checkout, shown clearly on top of their gift (e.g. "$50 gift + $1.75 processing = $51.75"). That way the group's 80% stays whole — it's never trimmed to cover fees.
What it looks like
A $5,000 campaign, split three ways.
Your cause
$4,000
you keep 80% of every $5,000 raised.
Share Fund
$500
10% goes to the group that invited you onto Shareathon — never a personal cut of your own campaign.
Shareathon
$500
10% covers hosting, support, and payouts — no add-ons.
Sharer thank-you (optional)
A flat $20 gift card for every $500 raised.
Campaign admins can turn this thank-you on when they create the campaign — the choice locks once the campaign goes live. When it's on, anyone whose personal share link brings in $500 earns a $20 digital gift card. Bring in $1,000, that's two.
It's 100% funded by Shareathon, so it never dips into the group's 80% — it costs your campaign nothing either way.
Cards go out automatically as soon as our reward partner is live — every dollar sharers raise on eligible campaigns is already being tracked.
Anyone can share the campaign you pick.
A parent. A friend. A neighbor. An alum. A grandparent across the country. Real stories, never spam. We never sell your information — protected, safe, aligned to the way your community already shows up for each other.
