About You-thon

You-thon is an online service for creating personal challenges that raise money for charity. A host sets a goal and a start and end date, chooses a charity, and logs progress on a public challenge page. Friends, family and other supporters pledge donations to the host's chosen charity.

What we charge: hosts pay a one-time challenge fee for each challenge, by card through Stripe, before the challenge is published. The standard fee is $18.50 (USD). Eligible challenges, such as those for a charity in a current promotion, are charged a lower promotional fee instead. The amount is always shown before you pay. There are no subscriptions and no other charges from You-thon.

Donations: after a challenge ends, supporters with an eligible pledge pay it directly to the charity through Every.org, a nonprofit donation platform. You-thon never collects, holds or processes donations and takes no share of them.
