SponsorLink automates the fundraising loop for local clubs and local businesses using a highly efficient monthly consolidation system.
Members scan their digital passes to claim local business discounts. Split margins are tracked in real-time.
SponsorLink bundles the business's subscription and all accumulated donations into one monthly bill.
Once a club's total pool across all sponsors hits $50, Stripe Connect direct-deposits the funds.
Rather than charging partner businesses immediately at checkout (which would waste up to 60% of small micro-donations in credit card fees), SponsorLink consolidates billing.
On the business's billing date, we issue a single consolidated invoice combining:
This single transaction is pulled automatically using BECS Direct Debit, keeping processing overhead low so we can pass 100% of the donation margin to the clubs.
Donations are tracked on a per-member basis, not a per-business basis. If a member of a Victorian club is traveling in Far North Queensland and buys a coffee at a participating store:
It does not matter if a club has only one member buy at a distant Queensland location. All micro-donations from all members, anywhere in the country, flow into the club's single, central donation pool.
SponsorLink uses Stripe Connect Express to guarantee secure, automatic, and direct-to-bank payout distribution.
Once a club's consolidated donation pool reaches the $50.00 AUD threshold, a payout is automatically triggered.
To keep the platform 100% free for community clubs, SponsorLink absorbs all Stripe payout fees ($2.25 per active month). Setting a $50 payout minimum ensures that transaction fees do not consume the valuable funds raised by your volunteers. 100% of the funds raised are delivered straight to your club.
