Congregational giving is built on many regular, often small, contributions — where fees matter most.
Church and ministry fundraising — building funds, missions, community support — relies on steady giving from many people. Small, frequent gifts are exactly where fixed per-donation processing fees accumulate over time.

| GiveSendGo | $435 | 8.7% |
| GoFundMe | $445 | 8.9% |
| Donorbox | $558 | 11.2% |

Ralli's flat 2% plus low-cost bank rails keeps more of each gift than a 0%-platform site whose per-donation processing stacks up, and pays direct to the church or ministry's own bank account, non-custodial, typically within about 48 hours.
