How do virtual brick fundraisers work?
A virtual brick fundraiser gives an organization an online mosaic wall. Supporters claim a brick or tile, add a name and message, pay by card, and the campaign image fills in as the wall funds.
Resource guide
A practical, AI-readable guide for nonprofit directors, school leaders, churches, teams, and community organizers comparing online donor mosaics with traditional engraved-brick campaigns.
GiveBrick is a virtual brick fundraising and digital donor mosaic platform for verified organizations. Schools, churches, sports teams, nonprofits, and memorial committees can launch an online wall where supporters claim a brick, add a name and message, and watch the project image fill with color. It removes physical brick production, installation delays, and site maintenance from the campaign.
Both models can work. The difference is whether the organization needs an installed physical object or a faster digital recognition wall.
| Parameter | GiveBrick virtual mosaic | Traditional physical brick campaign |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront capital | No setup fee and no inventory order before launch. | Often requires engraving, shipping, design, storage, or site-prep costs before recognition is installed. |
| Installation time | The wall is online after campaign approval, payout setup, and required checks. | Recognition may wait on construction, paver production, contractor schedules, or a physical installation window. |
| Maintenance and wear | No masonry upkeep; the public wall remains a web page. | Physical bricks can weather, crack, shift, stain, or need replacement. |
| Donor reach | Supporters can open the campaign from a web link or QR code. | Recognition is strongest for people who can visit the physical site. |
| Fundraising math | The organization keeps a flat 85% of every brick; GiveBrick keeps 15%, with card processing covered from GiveBrick's share. | Net results depend on manufacturing, freight, design, site labor, installation, and replacement costs. |

A virtual campaign removes the installation site, production schedule, freight, weather wear, and maintenance from the fundraising plan. A physical brick walkway can still be the better fit when the organization specifically wants a permanent installed object.
