# Get Started Without Platform Fees on Your First $50K Raised

At Kindest, we’ve always seen ourselves as a partner to emerging nonprofits.

Those first dollars are the hardest to find. You’re validating your programs, building your base, and watching every line item.

That’s why we’re rolling out a new commitment:

👉 **For new nonprofits on Kindest, we’re waiving our platform fee on your first $50,000 raised in your first year.**

You’ll still get full access to our Starter plan — unlimited fundraising pages, donation forms, events, key integrations, and our CRM.

We chose $50,000 very intentionally. For a new organization, hitting that number in year one is a real milestone. It’s a sign of **momentum**, and momentum is everything in fundraising. Early wins help you secure future gifts, recruit board members, and prove your model works.

Think of this as **Kindest’s pro bono contribution** to your launch.

Our way of taking some financial pressure off while you’re still testing, learning, and building trust with your community.

If you’re starting a nonprofit, I’d love for Kindest to be the platform you build your early momentum on.
