Live in under an hour — and you won't do it alone.
We know tech can feel daunting. It isn't here. Book a quick setup call and we'll get your department running — fundraisers, Tap to Pay, and local partners — together.
This is a concierge call, not tech support.
Setup on our end is streamlined. We've done this with departments all over — you're not the first chief asking the same questions. We walk through your station, your colors, your Stripe account, your first fundraiser, and your Tap to Pay setup. You leave the call with a live website and your first donation flowing.
Pick a time that works
30 minutes. We do it together. You're live by the end.
Calendar booking — needs setup
This is where the Calendly booking widget will appear. To wire it up:
- Sign up for Calendly here (free tier works).
- Create a 30-minute event called “Station Donations Setup Call.”
- Copy the event URL (e.g.
https://calendly.com/stationdonations/setup). - Paste it into
CALENDLY_BOOKING_URLat the top ofsrc/app/get-started/page.tsx.
In the meantime, ad traffic will see this placeholder — don't launch Facebook ads until the embed is live.
What we'll cover on the call
The three ways your station can raise money with Station Donations. All three are included, free to start.
- Fundraisers
Pick a template — Chicken BBQ, Boot Drive, 5K Race — fill in date, time, and description. Your fundraiser page is live in minutes, with donations and ticket sales going straight to your bank.
- Donate Anywhere
Accept contactless donations at boot drives, community events, and station tours — your firefighter taps the donor's card or phone to the back of an iPhone. No card reader hardware to buy.
- Local Partners
Rally local businesses to back your department. Each partner gets a co-branded sign and one-pager. Their support is recognized publicly and their contribution tracked privately.
Why is this free?
Let's be straight with you. Just like you're looking for ways to fund your department, we're building a business — and we only make money when you raise money (a small 2% on donations). Helping you succeed is literally how we survive.
Our goal is to back volunteer fire departments across the country and become the #1 support system for them. No hidden fees, no catch.
The exact breakdown on a $100 donation
- Donor pays
- $100.00
- Stripe processing
- −$2.75
- Station Donations (2%)
- −$2.00
- Your station gets
- $95.25
Once your station is raising more than $2,500 a month, you can upgrade to our Hero plan for $50/month and drop the 2% to zero. You only pay Stripe's processing.
Case study coming soon
We'll publish the first real boot-drive numbers here as soon as our pilot station finishes their first season.
Ready when you are.
