Every rand,
receipted.
Raising money is the easy part. Showing people it reached the cause is what nobody has solved. ThusaFund publishes a receipted spend ledger on every campaign — so your donors stop wondering, and start giving again.
No platform fee. Every number shown before you give. Card and instant EFT.

Three things donors and organisers complain about everywhere else
01
The money vanishes into a story
Funds are collected, paid out, and the trail ends. Fraud gets caught by journalists, years later — so honest campaigns pay for it in suspicion.
Every rand that leaves is an itemised line with a receipt, readable by anyone.
02
Payouts freeze with no explanation
A hold appears, an email says "under review", and a family waiting on funeral money waits weeks with no date and no recourse.
Every hold names its reason, what is needed, and the date it clears itself — in your favour.
03
A "tip" that looks like a fee
A slider arrives pre-set at 15%, and most donors believe it is the processing cost. It is not. It goes to the platform.
Ours starts at 5%, says so, shows the rands, and reaches zero in one drag.
Optional · for bigger goals
Release the money in stages, against proof
Split your goal into milestones. Each one pays out, then you upload the receipts before the next unlocks. Donors watch it happen, and your campaign carries a Verified Spend badge that makes the next person far more likely to give.
Money not yet released is still with us — so if the campaign turns out to be fraudulent, its donors choose another cause to receive it rather than losing it.

What it costs
Nothing
No platform fee on donations, no fee to withdraw. Only PayFast’s own card charge is deducted, exactly as they bill it.
We run on an optional tip at checkout. It starts at 5% and the donor can drag it to zero in one move — we would rather tell you that here than let you find it at the last screen. Nothing about your campaign changes if every donor sets it to nothing.
