Pricing

One flat 15%.
Nothing else.

GiveBrick keeps 15% of each brick and your organization keeps 85% — card processing included, not added on. Free to launch, no setup fee, no monthly fee, no contract. This page shows the whole number and what the alternatives cost.

What the 15% covers

One fee, and the list of things it already includes is the point.

Included in the 15%

Card processing. It comes out of our share, not yours — and supporters can choose to cover it at checkout.
Hosting the campaign wall and its live progress.
Verification of your organization and the person authorizing the campaign.
Human review before the campaign can accept a payment.
Moderation of brick names and messages.
Supporter receipts and the share link.
Payouts on Stripe rails to your connected account.

What we don't charge

No setup fee.
No monthly or annual fee.
No per-campaign charge.
No minimum raise and no contract term.
No charge for a wall preview before you apply.
No separate processing fee on top.

There is no paid tier. If a future feature ever costs extra it will be optional and priced on the page you buy it from — and the 85% does not move.

The math, on one brick

The same arithmetic at three common prices. Your organization's share is always 85%.

Supporter pays	Your organization receives	GiveBrick's 15%
$25	$21.25	$3.75
$50	$42.50	$7.50
$100	$85	$15

Card processing is paid out of GiveBrick's 15%, so the middle column is what reaches your connected account regardless of how the supporter pays.

Card processing

Included either way

There is nothing to model here. Processing never comes out of your 85%, whether or not the supporter chooses to cover it.

What the alternatives cost

Worth comparing honestly, including the case where someone else is cheaper.

Model	What it takes	On a $50 brick
GiveBrick	A flat 15% of each brick, card processing included.	You keep $42.50
Engraved brick vendors	A fixed cost per brick — published prices for a 4×8 run roughly $18–$25 including engraving and shipping — plus the wall or walkway and the labour to lay it.	You keep roughly $25–$33, before installation
Traditional school fundraising companies	Product and catalog fundraisers typically return 40–50% of gross sales to the group, before its own costs. Two large districts set 40% as their target and 25% as their floor.	You keep roughly $20–$25

Where a fixed cost beats a percentage

A per-brick cost stays flat as your brick price rises; a percentage does not. So on higher-priced bricks an engraved-brick vendor nets your organization more than we do — with a $19 brick the two models break even at about $127, and above that they win. Most community campaigns price between $25 and $100, which is the side we are better on, but the honest answer depends on your price.

Engraved-brick figures describe published industry pricing for standard 4×8 pavers, not any one vendor. The school-fundraising range describes common industry terms rather than a specific company. Get a quote before deciding.

Common questions about the fee

Is GiveBrick really free to launch?

Yes. There is no setup fee, no monthly fee, and no per-campaign charge. GiveBrick only earns anything when a brick is bought, and takes 15% of that.

Does card processing come out of our 85%?

No. Processing is paid out of GiveBrick's 15%, so your organization receives the same 85% regardless of how a supporter pays. Supporters can also choose to cover processing at checkout, and most do.

Can we charge different prices for different bricks?

Not today. A campaign has one brick price, and every brick on that wall costs the same. If you want a higher-value ask, you can set a higher price for the whole wall, or run a second campaign — but a single wall cannot mix prices.

Is there a premium plan?

No. There is one flat 15% and no paid tier. If that ever changes, any new feature would be optional and priced where you buy it, and the 85% would not move.

When do we get paid?

Payments are processed on Stripe rails and routed to your organization's connected payment account. GiveBrick collects only its platform fee and never holds funds outside processor rails.

What if a supporter wants a refund?

Refunds run back through the same processor as the original payment, under the terms set out in the Refund Policy rather than case by case.
