See how Glass Register works

In under two minutes: how to set up your form, how donors give, and what happens after each gift.

Built to help you raise more

Show donors what each amount does

Set your suggested amounts and write a line for each one. A donor deciding between $25 and $50 can see exactly what the extra $25 pays for.

Give supporters a goal to watch

Add a fundraising thermometer to any form. It rises as gifts come in, so supporters can see how close you are and help close the gap.

Turn one-time donors into monthly supporters

Every form can offer a monthly option. Recurring gifts are charged automatically, and each one sends its own receipt, so you get revenue you can plan around.

Tax receipts that send themselves

Each gift triggers a branded receipt, emailed as soon as the payment goes through. US receipts carry your EIN and the IRS good-faith statement. Canadian receipts carry your charity registration number and a receipt number, as the CRA requires.

Share your form anywhere

Everything below comes with every form, at no cost.

How Glass Register stays free

At checkout, donors see an optional contribution to Glass Register. They can change the amount or set it to zero. Those contributions pay for the platform and the card fees.

What your donor sees

What your nonprofit receives

If a donor sets the contribution to $0, you still receive the full $100. Glass Register covers the card processing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
