A Free GoFundMe Alternative for Christian Missionaries
No fees, no cut of donations — Christian crowdfunding built specifically for missionary support raising.
No Fees — Ever
Unlike GoFundMe and other fundraising sites, we take no platform fees and no cut of donations.
Accountable Giving
Donations go to your agency, not a personal account — so they stay tax-deductible and accountable.
Easy to Share
Set up in minutes, share your profile on social media, and increase your ministry's visibility.
Our passion is helping missionaries reach full funding and stay there.
Unlike general fundraising sites, Ergatas was built for missionary support raising. It works with the donation page your sending organization already provides, and we actively work to connect you with people looking to support a ministry like yours. Agencies can even connect their own Stripe account through Stripe Connect, so donations land directly in their account with no second transfer fee.
Sent directly by your church rather than a sending agency? Our optional Ministry Review Documents feature gives your church a simple way to provide the accountability that supporters look for — periodic budgets and reports, with automatic reminders.
One-time gifts are great, but full funding comes from lasting partnerships. Ergatas is designed to help supporters get to know you and your ministry — so they don't just give once, they join your team — the same kind of missionary partnership that keeps a worker fully funded. See how missionary support works for more on how these gifts reach the field.
