Process One
For organizations Schools, teams, clubs & nonprofits

Recurring funding from businesses you already know.

When a business you know joins Process One, we donate 50% of the ongoing processing revenue we earn from its account to the cause it chooses. Your organization can be that cause.

No event to run, no product to sell, and nothing for your organization to pay.

See how recurring support can add up.

Create recurring support for your program without constantly asking parents for money, from businesses your community already knows.

  • Recurring, not one-and-done

    Monthly contributions continue as long as participating businesses keep processing.

  • No volunteer burnout

    No event to staff, no product to sell, no envelopes to collect.

  • You bring the relationships

    Team parents and alumni almost always know a local business owner or two.

The fundraising problem

Stop asking the same families, again and again.

Traditional fundraising has a ceiling. It leans on the same parents and volunteers. This is a different source of funding entirely.

Traditional fundraising

One-time, high-effort, capped

  • Restaurant nights: one evening, one small check
  • Discount cards & raffles: inventory and tickets to manage
  • Donation drives: the same households, asked again
  • Volunteer burnout, every single season
The Process One way

Recurring support from local businesses

  • Monthly contributions that continue over time
  • No inventory, tickets, or event nights to run
  • Funded by payments local businesses already make
  • No new campaign to launch each time
How it works

Four straightforward steps.

No campaign to run. Once a business participates, support arrives on a recurring monthly basis.
