Round-up giving
your nonprofit owns.

How it works
Set it up once.
Your donors give every day.
PocketCache is the software behind your program. You run it, you own it, and the money never passes through us.
Step 01
Enter your EIN
We check your 501(c)(3) status against public IRS records, so only a real nonprofit can go live. No paperwork.
Step 02
Connect your own Stripe
You are the merchant of record. Donations charge on your Stripe account and pay out to your bank. PocketCache never holds the money.
Step 03
Share your link, QR code, or widget
Post your link, print a QR code, or drop a one-line widget into your website. Donors do not have to download anything.
Step 04
Donors round up automatically
Round-ups accrue all month. One monthly charge lands on your Stripe, and you issue the receipt, not PocketCache.
The whole business model
Donors fund the software.
You keep the donations.
A flat $1 from each active donor is our only revenue. Your nonprofit is never billed and never gives up a percentage.

For donors
Spare change,
on purpose.
Round up what you already spend. You choose the nonprofit, you see the amount before it moves, and you can stop whenever you like.
- A flat $1, only in months you round up The app fee is PocketCache's only revenue. It is flat, it is itemized on your charge, and it is not a subscription. A month your card never rounds up carries no fee. And if you skip a month, you are only charged in the months you give: nothing at all is collected on that charge date, and those round-ups are never collected later. The $1 app fee is not waived, though. It rolls forward and joins your next charge.
- 100% of your round-ups can reach the cause A pre-checked option lets you cover the card-processing cost, so the nonprofit nets every cent of your round-ups. Uncheck it and it works like any other card donation.
- Your round-ups are tax-deductible The nonprofit is the merchant of record and issues your receipt. The $1 app fee is not tax-deductible.
- No passwords, read-only bank link Sign in with Apple, Google, or Facebook, with an optional Face ID or Touch ID lock. Your bank connection is read-only through Plaid, and card data stays with Stripe.
How a month works
No surprises, and nothing is charged until you have seen the number.
- Round-ups add up Every purchase on your linked card rounds to the next dollar.
- The amount locks We email you the exact total for the month.
- Ten days to review Check it, adjust it once, cap it, or skip the month. Skipping collects nothing on the 11th and rolls the $1 fee to your next charge. The window closes on the 10th.
- One charge, from the nonprofit Round-ups, the optional processing cover, and the $1 app fee arrive as a single charge on the nonprofit's own Stripe account.
Months under the $5 minimum are not charged. That balance and the $1 app fee carry forward and settle within three months at most.
Everything included
A full giving platform,
not just an app.
App, web, widget, and dashboard, all built around how your donors actually give.
App and web giving
Donors can give from a branded app or straight from the browser at pocketcache.app/YOURCODE/give. No download needed.
Your own public micro-site
A public page at pocketcache.app/YOURCODE with your story, live impact stats, join buttons, and a shareable QR code.
One-line website widget
Drop a single line from pocketcache.app/widget.js into your existing site to add a "Round up for us" button anywhere.
A full nonprofit dashboard
Overview, donor list, charge history, and growth tools in one place. Edit your branding and story anytime. Sensitive changes need an emailed one-time code.
Extra gifts, matches, and volunteers
One-time "Give Extra" gifts, corporate match campaigns where the match money flows straight from sponsor to nonprofit, and volunteer sign-up buttons.
Donor controls that reduce churn
A monthly giving cap, an adjustable pending charge, skip-a-month, and cancel anytime. A skipped month collects nothing at all; only its $1 app fee rolls forward to the next charge. Never a fee to leave.
Billing donors can trust
Round-ups accrue all month, the amount locks on the 1st, donors are emailed the exact total, and the charge runs on the 11th. That is a full 10 days to review and adjust.
Security by design
Sign in with Apple, Google, or Facebook. No passwords stored. Optional Face ID or Touch ID lock. Bank connection is read-only via Plaid. Card data and payouts stay with Stripe.
Simple, flat pricing
One flat fee.
Never a percentage.
Your nonprofit is never invoiced. Donors pay one small, itemized app fee, and only in the months their card actually rounds up. That is the entire business model.
Your nonprofit
$0 forever
No invoices exist for your nonprofit. No contracts, no setup cost, no monthly bill, and never a percentage of a donation.
PocketCache never takes a cut of what your donors give.
Your donors
$1 a month, flat
Charged only for months a donor is actually rounding up, and itemized on their charge. It is PocketCache's only revenue, and it is not a subscription.
Donors can also cover card processing, so you net 100%.
- A pre-checked option (opt out, not opt in) lets donors cover your card-processing cost, so your nonprofit nets 100% of round-ups when they leave it on.
- Charges only run once round-ups reach a $5 monthly minimum, configurable per nonprofit. Balances under it roll over, and the $1 app fee rolls over with them.
- A settle-up runs at least every 3 months, whether or not the minimum was reached.
- A donor can skip a month: nothing at all is collected on that charge date, and those round-ups are never collected later. The $1 app fee for a skipped month is not waived, it rolls forward to the donor's next charge.
- Round-ups are tax-deductible and the nonprofit issues the receipt. The $1 app fee is not tax-deductible.
