Top 5 Reasons Why Australians use mycause for Charity Fundraising

Australians choose mycause for charity fundraising for many reasons. mycause often ends up at the top of the list when comparing best online crowdfunding platforms. But what sets mycause apart? Here are the top four reasons why Australians prefer mycause for their charity fundraising.

1. Australian owned and operated

The mycause platform is 100 per cent Australian owned and operated. This has become one of the most important reasons why Australians choose mycause for their online fundraising. Our platform provides users access to thousands of Australian charities and not-for profits doing great work. We can also liaise with local and national media if your fundraiser gets their interest.

Based in Melbourne, our friendly support staff are easily contactable and available to talk through any questions or issues. This is important in ensuring people of all ages and regions in Australia can successfully fundraise online. Part of our 5-star service is also to vet donations and fundraisers via the phone (see Reason number 3). This is made possible by being in the local time zone.

2. Zero platform fees

At mycause, we're proud to offer zero platform fees. All fundraising pages can be created with no cost to the individual. That means all the funds raised go towards your cause or charity.

Our promise of no platform fees extends to the charities, clubs, schools, and not-for-profits we support. Part of our mission to make fundraising easy for all (see Reason 4!) is to ensure the powerful mycause platform remains accessible for everyone. 

3. Secure

We've built our reputation on being a secure and trusted Australian fundraising platform. With both a secure payment gateway and regular verifications, mycause ensures that every donation made through the platform goes to a legitimate cause or charity while keeping your payment information safe.

By partnering with Australian charities and organisations, all funds raised are sent directly to their bank account, protecting both those who made donations and the beneficiaries.

4. Easy to use

We strongly believe fundraising tools should be simple and easy to use. In fact, mycause was founded when Tania Busrtin saw first hand how difficult fundraising was. She pioneered online fundraising in Australia and created the first Australian crowdfunding platform, mycause. The platform has always strived to be as user friendly and efficient as possible.

5. Thousands of charities to choose from

Want thousands of charities to choose from for your charity fundraising? Then you'll choose mycause for the same reason many other Australians do. Based in Australia, we work closely with our Australian charity partners, not-for-profits, clubs, and other organisations to notify them of fundraising activity. The mycause support team also ensure they, and you, are fully supported.
