Friends and supporters!
We are transitioning from Classy (GoFundMe Nonprofit) to Give Butter as our donation platform.
At the St. Luke Foundation, our guiding principle has always been simple: every dollar should reach the people of Haiti. That means we constantly evaluate our operating costs — including the platforms we use to process your generous gifts.
Why we're making the switch:
Classy charged us a platform fee on top of standard payment processing costs, which meant a small portion of every donation never made it to Haiti. Give Butter's nonprofit pricing model significantly reduces those fees, allowing more of what you give to go directly to the communities we serve. Over time, these savings add up to real, tangible impact on the ground.
A note about Give Butter's "tip jar":
Give Butter uses an optional donor tip feature to help cover their operating costs — this is how they're able to offer such favorable rates to nonprofits. You may see a prompt at checkout asking if you'd like to leave a tip for the platform. This tip is entirely optional and goes to Give Butter, not to the St. Luke Foundation. You are absolutely welcome to set it to $0 — doing so has no impact on your donation or our gratitude for your support.
