Does Ripples make money?

Yes, just enough to provide the service!

Roundups Fundraising Services Ltd is a Social Enterprise. We have a social impact mission that is legally written into the structure of our company. Ripples involves complicated technology and we do have costs to cover. 5% of all user donations currently go towards sustaining the Ripples platform. This covers unavoidable expenses like payment processing fees, app maintenance, staff and promotional activity which, in turn, helps to build the community and facilitate even more penny donations!

We plan to reduce the 5% admin fee as our user base increases
