The Fair Tip Pledge
Fund My Squad is free for organizers because supporters can choose to tip — and a tip you did not mean to leave is not a tip.
Eight commitments
This is how tips work on Fund My Squad, everywhere, every time. If checkout ever looks different from this page, tell us and we will fix it.
- 1
Never more than 10%
The suggested tip is never more than 10%, and it goes down as gifts go up: 10% under $50, 8% from $50 to $199.99, 5% at $200 and above.
- 2
Capped at $25
The suggested tip is capped at $25, no matter the gift size.
- 3
Dollars next to every percentage
Every tip option shows the dollar amount next to the percentage.
- 4
"No tip" is always a visible button
"No tip" is always a visible button — never hidden behind "Other" or a custom field.
- 5
Tickets never pre-select a tip
Tickets, door sales and Tap to Pay never pre-select a tip.
- 6
Its own line on your receipt
Your tip is its own line on your receipt — never blended into fees or the gift.
- 7
Refundable for 30 days
Any tip is refundable with one click from your receipt for 30 days. The team still receives every dollar of your gift; Fund My Squad absorbs the cost.
