Understanding the minimum fee
Understanding the minimum fee
SparkWell's program fee is 7% of funds raised, with a $10,000 minimum throughout your project. We always collect 7%, but if that amounts to less than $10,000 total fees paid to your program, we collect the difference upfront as a credit against future 7% fees. This means your initial fee deduction for the program will be at least $10,000, ensuring every project receives comprehensive support while keeping fees fair as you grow.
Example of minimum fee
Example of minimum fee
You receive an initial grant of $100,000 for your project. SparkWell receives the grant on your project’s behalf and deducts $10,000 instead of the standard 7% to meet the minimum fee.
You receive a second grant of $100,000. SparkWell receives the grant and deducts only $4,000 to meet the program fee of 7% ($200,000 x 7% = $14,000).
Additional grants or donations received after this point will be charged a standard 7% program fee.
Receiving funding
Receiving funding
All donors will undergo standard due diligence procedures to ensure compliance with Anti Entropy's policies and applicable regulations. The program fee is automatically deducted at the time each donation is received, and the remaining funds are allocated to your project's designated account.
