Community projects succeed on broad support — many people giving a little. Fees shouldn't erode that.
A hall roof, a playground, a festival, a neighbour in need — community raises draw their strength from lots of people giving modest amounts. That volume of small gifts is exactly where fixed per-donation fees quietly accumulate.

Estimated fees on a $5,000 raise across 1,000 small contributions; actual rates vary by country and payment method.
Ralli pairs a flat 2% with low-cost account-to-account bank rails so small gifts keep almost all their value — the whole point of a dollar that counts the same from everyone. Paid direct to the organiser's own bank, non-custodial, typically within about 48 hours.
