Is Kindly Events free to use?

Creating a campaign and sharing your QR code is free. A small service fee applies when donations are processed — you'll see the exact percentage before you launch.

Which charities can guests choose from?

You select the charities when you create your campaign. We maintain a curated directory of vetted nonprofits across education, health, environment, hunger relief, and more.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. Guests simply scan the QR code with their phone camera and the giving page opens instantly in their browser.

How do donations reach the charities?

After your event, you review the giving breakdown in your dashboard and initiate the payout. Funds go directly to the charities your guests selected.

Can I use Kindly Events for corporate events?

Absolutely. Many companies use Kindly Events for team celebrations, client appreciation events, and holiday parties as a meaningful alternative to traditional gifts.

What happens if a guest doesn't scan the QR code?

No problem — participation is always optional. For Host Pays campaigns, the full donation pool still goes to charity regardless of how many guests scan.
