Cheddar Up helps parent groups collect money and information through simple, polished pages. Groups can use it for donations, events, spirit wear, registrations, forms, waivers, and volunteer sign-ups, making it considerably broader than a basic payment processor.

Choose a plan, then compare how transaction fees are handled.
Your group now receives $20,000 from $20,000 in intended online donations.
Cheddar Up can handle donations, dues, spirit wear, event registrations, tickets, forms, waivers, volunteer sign-ups, and other parent-group collections. Payments and information can often be gathered together in the same workflow.
Cheddar Up is especially strong when a group needs to collect money, registrations, forms, or sign-ups. Its workflows are built primarily around collection pages and transactions rather than a persistent family or community record that connects activity across the organization.
Paid MoneyMinder subscribers can receive Cheddar Up Team Edition at no additional subscription cost. That makes the combination particularly attractive for parent groups that want nonprofit bookkeeping and online collections together. The MoneyMinder bundle has its own transaction-fee structure and is not modeled as the same pricing scenario as buying Cheddar Up Team directly.
Cheddar Up bundles payment collection with forms, reporting, sign-ups, and other group-management features, but its published card rates are higher than some nonprofit rates available directly from payment processors. Groups should evaluate whether the additional workflow tools justify that difference.
Groups can pass transaction fees to payers, absorb them, or in supported configurations allow payers to cover them optionally. Passing fees to payers can preserve fundraiser proceeds, but it increases what families pay at checkout.
Cheddar Up includes messaging and reminder tools for collections and sign-ups. Groups that need broader newsletters, audience segmentation, or ongoing community communications may still want a dedicated communications system.
Uses Cheddar Up's published plan and credit-card rates.
Parent groups can use Cheddar Up for donations, dues, fundraisers, spirit wear, ticket sales, event registrations, volunteer sign-ups, forms, waivers, and other collections. Many workflows can combine payment and information collection on the same page.
Yes. Cheddar Up supports both simple list-style sign-ups and scheduled sign-ups with dates or time slots. Organizers can also send reminders, collect participant comments, and limit how many spots a person selects.
Paid MoneyMinder subscribers currently receive access to Cheddar Up Team Edition at no additional subscription cost through the MoneyMinder Store. That bundle is especially useful for groups that want nonprofit accounting and online collections together. Its transaction pricing differs from the standard Cheddar Up plans modeled in this calculator.
Cheddar Up provides more than payment processing. Its fees support a broader collection platform with forms, reporting, sign-ups, waivers, event tools, sales features, and other organizer workflows. Groups that only need basic payment processing may be able to find lower transaction rates from a direct nonprofit payment processor.
The selected plan determines the applicable published card formula, available features, and any subscription cost. The fee-handling choice determines whether the transaction cost is paid by the group or added to the payer’s checkout.
In the modeled payer-covered configuration, yes. The transaction cost is added on top of the intended payment rather than deducted from your group’s proceeds. The payer therefore spends more than the original donation or purchase amount.
No. Subscription costs are shown separately because a Cheddar Up plan can support many collections throughout the year rather than one individual fundraiser.
No. Cheddar Up allows families to complete payments from a shared collection page without creating a Cheddar Up account.
No. The current fundraiser comparison models the credit-card pricing stored in the pricing registry. Cheddar Up also supports eCheck on eligible plans, but those transactions are outside this scenario.
