No. There is no platform fee, ever. Gifts go straight from the giver to the mover on PayPal, so 100% of every gift reaches the mover and Move Me Fund never takes a cut. It's free to start and free to use.
Directly to the mover's own PayPal, through their personal PayPal.me link. There is no moving company in the middle, no escrow, and no rule that holds funds until a certain date. Because Move Me Fund is never in the payment flow, gifts land in the mover's PayPal the moment they're sent.
We call them gifts on purpose. This is people helping a friend, not a charitable donation, and gifts here are not tax-deductible. The framing matters: it gives people permission to ask for cash instead of labor.
Genuine personal gifts are generally not taxable income to the person receiving them. Because gifts are paid through the mover's own PayPal, it is PayPal (not Move Me Fund) that handles any tax forms or reporting that may apply to that account. We are not tax advisors, so for anything sizable, please check with a tax professional and review PayPal's own tax information for your situation.
This answer is general information, not tax advice. We don't state specific reporting limits, and your own situation may differ.
You keep whatever you raise. There is no all-or-nothing. Your goal is just a signal to your people, and you can edit it anytime. Your fund can accept gifts for up to a year, or until you close it.
Campaigns are private and link-only by default. You can opt to make the fund public so people can discover and give. Even then, a public fund shows your first name only. Your last name and the exact moving date are never shown. We don't ask where you're moving to or from, and we never collect a street address; your story shares only what you choose to write.
Yes, and it is deliberately gated. Your help schedule is never public. Only people you share your link with, who sign in, can see times and claim a slot. We never ask for a street address, so you coordinate the meeting spot with your helpers directly, and who is helping is visible just to you and confirmed helpers.
Pick an amount on the campaign page and we send you to the mover's PayPal.me link on PayPal's own secure site, with the amount pre-filled. You pay them directly from your PayPal account or card, and Move Me Fund never sees your payment details and never touches the money.
Right now, it doesn't. The service is free and we don't take a cut of any gift. Down the road we may add advertising or optional extras to keep the lights on, but giving to a mover will always be 100% theirs.
