Question 1

What does an open event cost the organiser?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. WeGlow takes 5% per donation. Donors can cover that fee themselves, so the charity receives the full donation. More than 80% of donors do.

Question 2

Which charities can take part?

Accepted Answer

Any nonprofit, foundation or association raising money for a good cause. WeGlow invites charities and helps them sign up. Charities can also sign up for your event themselves.

Question 3

Does the event have to split the money between the charities?

Accepted Answer

No. Every donation goes straight to the charity the participant chose. The event never touches the money and has nothing to transfer.

Question 4

How do participants start a fundraising page?

Accepted Answer

Through the button on your event site. In four steps they choose a charity, decide whether to join alone or in a team, and write their goal and story. Then they share their link.

Question 5

Do donors get a tax receipt?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if the charity is approved to issue tax receipts in Belgium. Anyone who gives at least €40 to the same charity in a year gets a receipt and 30% of the donation back through their taxes.

Question 6

Can we also sell tickets or registrations through WeGlow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With WeGlow Ticketing you sell tickets with a QR code that you scan at the entrance. That keeps registrations and donations in one place.

Question 7

What do we get after the event?

Accepted Answer

A report with the total, the number of donations and participants, and the result per charity. Useful for your communication, the press and your sponsors.
