Pricing

Updates:

For 6 months after launching in 2019 All for Climate operated for free. At the general assembly in June 2020, we had a long discussion on making All for Climate sustainable. The first pricing plan was a result of that. It was implented on 1 August 2020, and was reviewed in the general assembly of October 2020. In August 2023, the host fees for grants was raised to 5% for the additional back-office work.

In 2024, following extensive consultations with other fiscal hosts, a questionnaire, community assembly and various updates of the host fees proposal, All For Climate had to decide to increase it's host fees to maintain All For Climate operative and keep providing support to our crescent collectives. This decision is driven by the ongoing challenges All For Climate faces in remaining operational and effective within the demanding climate of fiscal hosting. The adjustment is crucial for sustaining our core operations and continuing to serve the collective needs efficiently.

HOST FEE

FROM 17 OCTOBER 2024

A. DONATIONS

Since October 17 2024, collectives are categorized into two groups:

1. Small Collectives (less than 15 donations and an annual budget under €1000) have a host fee of 4%.

2. Large Collectives (more than 15 donations and an annual budget above €1000) have a host fee of 6%.

This update will allow us to generate the resources needed to cover operational costs, including funding our single paid role,

The cheapest way to donate money is by a simple bank transfer. If you pay €10 ... €9,60 or €9,40 ends up on the balance of the collective. 4% or 6% goes to the All For Climate collective to pay for operating costs. (4 or 6% depending on the size of your collective, see above).

When using Credit card or PayPal, additional fees apply for those services. These fees go to Stripe (credit card) or to PayPal, not to All for Climate.

B. GRANTS

When collectives apply for grants of subsidies, there is a lot more back office work. We take care of the paperwork and are responsible for signing contracts. However some grants require more work and responsibility than others, which is why there are 3 categories for the grant fees:

When you want to apply for a grant, please connect with us early in the process so we can discuss the necessary steps to be taken. If your granter has certain conditions for the host fee, contact us as well, we want to support your work no matter what.
