Common questions
Something not covered here? Contact our team.
What is Glass Register?
Glass Register is a platform that provides 100% free donation forms for nonprofits. It focuses on two things: a donation form that looks like it belongs on your website, and an instant tax receipt for every donor.
Is Glass Register really free, and will it stay free?
Yes. Glass Register is 100% free for nonprofits, with no hidden fees. You’ll never pay platform fees, setup fees, transaction fees, or credit card processing fees, so you keep 100% of every donation. Donors can optionally contribute to help support Glass Register, but whether they do or not, your organization never pays. We have no plans to introduce nonprofit fees.
How does Glass Register make money?
Donors have the option to contribute to Glass Register when they give, and those contributions keep the platform free. Whether they contribute or not, your nonprofit never pays.
How do I get started?
Sign up with your email address or your Google account. No credit card is required. From there you tell us about your nonprofit, connect your bank account through Stripe, and build your first donation form. Most organizations are ready to accept donations the same day, and free support is available if you get stuck.
Who can use Glass Register?
Glass Register is available to registered nonprofits in the United States and Canada. That includes registered charities in Canada and 501(c)(3) organizations in the US. Both get automatic tax receipts built for their own tax authority.
How are payments processed?
Payments are processed through Stripe. You connect your own Stripe account during sign-up, so donations settle directly into your organization’s bank account. Stripe’s fees are covered, which is why the full donation reaches you.
How do donors receive their tax receipts?
Receipts are generated automatically and emailed to the donor as soon as the donation goes through. They carry your organization’s branding, your registration number or EIN, and the fields required by the IRS or the CRA. Recurring donors receive a receipt for each gift, so there is nothing for your team to chase at year end.
Can I customize the donation form?
Yes. You control your logo, your colors, your suggested donation amounts, and the impact statement attached to each amount. You can also customize your receipts and the automatic email replies donors get. It is all done in the form builder, without any coding.
Can I embed the donation form on my website?
Yes. You can embed the form directly on your own site so donors never leave your pages, or share it as a standalone link by email, social media, or QR code. Many organizations do both, using the embedded form on their donate page and the link in campaign emails.
Can I accept recurring donations?
Yes. Your form can accept one-time and recurring gifts, and you can suggest a monthly amount right on the page. Recurring donations are charged automatically, and each one generates its own receipt.
Can I export donor data, and does it work with my CRM?
Yes. Your donor and donation data is yours, and you can export it whenever you want. Glass Register works alongside whatever CRM or database you already use, so you can bring donations into your existing system rather than replacing it.
