No. The fundraising platforms run the campaign and leave the compliance, the donor record and the reporting to a second system, and the compliance and accounting systems do the reverse. Everflame is the one product that does both — the gift entered once and flowing into the receipt, the books, the thank-you and the regulator reports without re-entry.
Any Australian not-for-profit that raises funds. Legal structure (incorporated association, company limited by guarantee), charitable registration with the ACNC, and DGR endorsement are distinct and separate layers — not every not-for-profit is a registered charity, and not every registered charity is DGR-endorsed. Everflame serves entities at every point on that spectrum: the small community group with no charitable registration, the ACNC-registered charity, and the DGR-endorsed fund. The receipt issued depends on the entity's status: an ordinary receipt for a non-deductible gift, a tax receipt only where endorsement supports it. Individuals can also create fundraising pages — a birthday appeal, a sponsored run, a memorial collection — where every dollar raised flows to a registered organisation on the platform. Everflame does not support fundraising for personal benefit.
No. The multi-fund structure is simply the fuller case, and a single-fund organisation is the simple instance of it. The donor front end is free, so a small charity can run campaigns at no platform cost and add the compliance subscription only if it wants the deeper layer.
Yes. Everflame serves the whole spectrum, from the non-charitable not-for-profit through the registered charity to the deductible-gift-endorsed entity, issuing an ordinary receipt where a gift is not deductible and a tax receipt only where the endorsement supports it.
No. It assembles the inputs to the Annual Information Statement, the figures the tax office needs and the donor summaries from the data it already holds, and you or your agent lodge them. Everflame prepares; it never lodges - no return, statement or distribution is ever lodged for a fee.
No. The donor-facing front end is free under the donor-contribution model, and Everflame earns from a compliance subscription rather than a cut of the gift, so more of each gift reaches the cause.
Your data is held in an Australian region, owned by you and your donors rather than by Everflame, never mined or sold, and exportable in full at any time, so adopting the platform never means being locked into it.
Everflame holds no card data and takes custody of no funds. The payment provider holds the card data and gifts settle to your own account, not ours. Every account that can move money uses two-factor sign-in, every compliance action is written to an immutable audit record, and an independent penetration test is run before launch.
The compliance encoding is a versioned, maintained component, tracked against the reforms under way, and each receipt and report records which version of the rules governed it, with reform notes surfaced to you where a matter is in flux.
Yes. A supporter creates their own page under your campaign and raises through their own network, and every gift still lands in your account and carries your compliant receipt.
Yes. You don't need to be a staff member or a volunteer. You can create a personal fundraising page — a birthday fundraiser, a sponsored run, a memorial collection — and choose which registered organisation on the platform the gifts flow to. You'll indicate whether you're running it as an affiliate of that organisation or on your own initiative. The funds always go to the charity, never to you. Everflame does not facilitate fundraising for personal benefit.
Yes. Giving is done as a guest in a few taps with no sign-up, and the receipt arrives by email straight away. An account is offered only to the donor who wants their receipts and recurring gifts in one place.
You are shown before you give whether the gift is deductible and how much of it is, which depends on the charity's endorsement and the nature of the gift, and your receipt arrives the moment you give, computed from the entity's recorded endorsement status.
Yes. A monthly gift is set up in seconds, and you can change the amount or the card, or pause or stop it, at any time from the donor portal or the app.
Yes. Everflame is an Australian platform and every gift is taken in Australian dollars, but your card or bank handles the currency conversion automatically, so you can give from anywhere in the world. What differs by country is deductibility: Australian tax deductibility depends on the entity's ACNC/DGR endorsement, which is an Australian tax concept, so if you're giving from outside Australia your own country's tax rules — not Australia's — govern whether the gift is deductible for you, and that's a question for your own tax adviser.
Everflame is a working name. The comparison is drawn at category level.
