Bequest is the infrastructure layer for modern philanthropy — one platform that handles direct gifts, campaigns, and standing pools, with full compliance, at a flat $1 per transaction.
The legacy giving stack is a tax on generosity. Card processors take 3%. Platforms take 5–8%. Filing services charge thousands a year. A dollar leaves the donor; sixty-eight cents arrive at the mission.
The platform's job is to delete that gap. Flat $1, full compliance, donor identity, tax receipts, settlement — all on one piece of infrastructure that's just as cheap for the $5 gift as the $5,000 one.
We treat generosity as plumbing. The art is making the pipes invisible.
The fee never grows with the gift. The math is the math.
Every dollar mapped from sender to recipient. No black-box treasury.
KYC, sanctions, filings — on the infrastructure, not on you.
The platform runs underneath. Your community never has to know our name.
Public API, public webhooks, public docs. No salesperson required.
Generosity is changing shape. The infrastructure should too.
