FinMon Hero: The Envelope Path

Trust doesn't start with fundraising; it is built through simple and clear steps. Convenience and payment security are the foundation of a successful collection. When a patron can support an initiative in a few seconds, and an organizer can transparently manage funds and report on results, the most important thing emerges: trust.

This is exactly why PrivatBank created the "Envelope" (Konvert) service — a tool that helps charitable and public organizations, as well as individuals and volunteers, conduct collections quickly, securely, and transparently. And this guide will help you go through the entire journey from creating a collection to reporting to donors.

STEP 1. Create an Envelope instead of collecting on a personal card

✅ Open a collection via the "Envelope" service from PrivatBank.

What this provides:

  • launching a collection in a few minutes;
  • donations go directly to the organization's account;
  • the collection can be supported by clients of any bank and from any country in the world;
  • secure, one-click payment;
  • a separate space for each collection without mixing funds.

What is important?

  • Clearly formulate the goal of the collection.
  • Indicate the required amount.
  • Describe what the funds will be used for.
  • Add visual design to the collection.
  • Share the link or QR code with potential donors.

Remember: a specific goal and a clear description significantly increase trust in the collection.

STEP 2. Pass financial monitoring without stress

✅ Financial monitoring is not an obstacle; it is primarily a tool for protecting honest charity.

The bank helps organizations work in accordance with the law and maintain transparency in the movement of funds.

What is important?

  • Collect funds only for the stated purpose.
  • Keep documents that confirm expenses.
  • Monitor the compliance of operations with the goals of the collection.
  • If necessary, promptly provide proof of the use of funds.
  • Use separate Envelopes for different projects.

Transparency today is donor trust tomorrow.

STEP 3. Report publicly

✅ People support not only ideas, but also results.

Regular reporting shows that every hryvnia works as intended.

What is important?

  • Publish intermediate results of the collection.
  • Show purchases and transferred aid.
  • Add photos, documents, or transfer acts.
  • Inform about the completion of the collection and the achievement of the goal.
  • Thank donors for their support.

The best way to get a repeat donation is to show the result of the previous one.

The Formula of Trust
