Your Station Was Built on More Than Bake Sales.
A free fundraising website built for volunteer fire departments.
Station Donations gives your department a professional website and fundraising engine — set up in under 5 minutes. No tech skills. No credit card. Just more money in your station fund.
$0 to start. We only earn when you do.
The Real Problem
Running a volunteer department is hard enough. Fundraising shouldn't be a second job.
The Equipment Problem
Your truck is aging. Your gear is outdated. And the county budget doesn't come close to covering what you actually need.
The Weight You Carry
You volunteered to serve — not to sell raffle tickets and chase down Facebook donations. But here you are, doing it anyway.
The Part That Isn't Right
The men and women who run toward danger shouldn't struggle just to keep the lights on. Your community should be backing you.
We Get It
We built this for you. Not for IT departments. Not for city agencies.
Station Donations was built specifically for the 23,000 volunteer and combination departments across America — the ones that run on fundraisers, community support, and sheer grit.
We know you don't have an IT team. We know the chief is also the bookkeeper, the mechanic, and the event planner. That's why this platform does the heavy lifting for you.
Simple by Design
Three steps. Five minutes. Done.
No training sessions. No YouTube tutorials. No calling your nephew for tech help.
Sign Up Free
Click Launch Free. Enter your station name and email. Your fundraising site is live instantly.
Launch a Fundraiser
Pick a template — Chicken BBQ, Boot Drive, 5K Race, or create your own. Fill in the date and details. Hit publish.
Watch the Money Come In
Your community donates directly through your page. Funds hit your station bank account automatically. Track everything on your dashboard.
It's free. Completely free. Start today.
We don't charge a monthly fee to get started. We take a small 4% platform fee from donations — meaning we only make money when you make money. Once your station is raising over $2,500 a month, you can upgrade to our flat $99/month plan and keep every single dollar beyond Stripe's standard processing fee.
No risk. No contract. No credit card needed to sign up.
Everything You Need
One dashboard. Everything your station needs to raise money.
Fundraiser Templates
Pre-built pages for Chicken BBQs, Boot Drives, 5K Races, and more. Pick one, fill in the blanks, publish in 60 seconds.
Ticket Sales
Sell event tickets with fixed pricing. At the drive-thru, pull up the list on an iPad and check off orders as people arrive.
Donation Engine
Massive, unmissable donate buttons on every page. One-time or monthly giving. Funds go straight to your bank account.
Donor Management
See every supporter in one place — names, emails, and total given. Email them directly from the dashboard. No Mailchimp needed.
Community Announcements
Post burn bans, road closures, and event updates directly to your public station website. Your community sees it immediately.
Real-Time Dashboard
One screen. One big green number — how much you've raised this month. Recent donors, active campaigns. The whole picture at a glance.
The Stakes
What happens when the money runs out.
Every year, volunteer fire departments across America are forced to cut training budgets, delay equipment replacements, and — in the worst cases — close their doors entirely.
Not because the volunteers stopped caring. Because the fundraising never caught up.
The town that loses its volunteer station doesn't just lose a building. It loses the neighbors who showed up at 2am. It loses the people who ran their first BBQ and their tenth.
Station Donations exists because this shouldn't happen.
Don't let this be your station →Pricing
Honest pricing. No surprises.
We built the free tier because a broke firehouse shouldn't have to prove itself before getting the tools.

When does $99/month make sense?
On the free tier, 4% of a $100 donation = $4 to us. Once you're raising $2,500+ per month, that 4% costs you more than $99. At that point, upgrading to Hero pays for itself — and every dollar after that stays in your station fund.
Most stations figure this out on their own. The math does the selling.
Your Station. Funded.
Picture your next BBQ selling out before the day of the event.
Picture a Boot Drive that raises $4,000 before the first boot hits the street. Picture a dashboard with a green number that actually reflects what your volunteers have built over the years.
That's what we're here for.
Free to start. No credit card. Setup takes 5 minutes.
