While Feeling Blessed can host fundraisers, that’s not all we do. Donations are only accepted for registered, pre-vetted nonprofits eliminating the guesswork for donors. We also provide a powerful backend to nonprofits for their donation management needs.

Instead of giving when solicited, we enable donors to choose when, whom to and how much to give to, whenever they’re feeling blessed. The app allows them to never miss an opportunity and be able to do so in a few seconds with funds reaching the charity instantly.

We are committed to growing the Muslim donation space. By leveraging technology, we want to make the act of giving so simple that it silences the voice that tells you to donate later, or worse, not at all. Our tech is built for the ummah to give more and have a greater impact on changing the world for better.

Feeling Blessed has some out of the box compatibility features for nonprofits based in the United States, Canada and United Kingdom, and can be further optimized for region-specific needs.

Donations through Feeling Blessed are tax deductible in many countries including the United States and Canada. For US donors donating to 501(c)(3) nonprofits, receipts emailed by Feeling Blessed can be used for tax purposes.

For Canadian donors donating to Canadian nonprofits, our receipts are currently not CRA compliant. While we work on adding this feature, please export your donation data from the dashboard to send donors tax-receipts.

Yes. UK accounts have an additional set of controls, allowing for the collection of Gift Aid declarations from donors, and empowering users in those accounts to easily manage, export, and sync that information to any needed CRMs.

No, there are no fees to register on Feeling Blessed.

Yes, donors always have the option to cover fees. When a donor checks the box to Cover Fees, we increase their gift amount by an amount commensurate to the platform and processor fees we assess, so that their eventual gift after fees will be closer to the full amount they were originally intending to give.

As long as your donations in general are tax deductible, their increase to cover fees will be too.

Feeling Blessed charges a small fee to sustain operations. This is 2.5% of the donation amount however it is capped at $50* per transaction and waived for:

- Micro donations of $10** and less to encourage frequent giving

- Zakat donations

These waivers bring down our average fees to 1.3% across the platform.

Credit card or bank processing fees are separate. Since they are charged by our payment processor Stripe, we don't have control over them. In the US & Canada, they range anywhere between:

- 3.5% for Amex cards

- 2.9% to 2.2% + $0.30 for non-Amex cards

- 0.8% capped at $5 for bank transfers

Stripe fees in the UK are:

- 1.4% to 1.2% + 20p for European cards

- 2.9% + 20p for non-European cards

What you're seeing as processing fees on your donation despite marking it as Zakat is the payment processing fee charged by Stripe.

Please let us know if this was helpful or if you have any other questions.

We do not believe in limiting ourselves with hardware compatibility requirements. The Feeling Blessed Terminal is an on-site and event fundraising app which allows you to collect donations using any Android smartphone or tablet without a credit card swiper. Simply use the device’s camera to read the card or enter details manually. There is no limit to the number of devices you can use it on. Donors no longer need to wait in lines to use a kiosk and you are not limited by the number of kiosks. Any number of available volunteers can turn their phones into donation terminals within seconds and walk up to donors to collect donations.

Create a empty file with .php extension and just copy-paste the code from the developer section of fundraiser.
