Most donation platforms are locked to US payment rails and charge fees that price out smaller economies. Alora Giving is built differently — open architecture, zero subscription, full localization.
Where charities operate
Every highlighted region represents a charity sector where Alora Giving is designed to serve — from mosques in South Asia to schools in Sub-Saharan Africa to community nonprofits in North America.
Regional focus
Mosques, churches, schools, hospitals, and community nonprofits. Stripe Connect for online giving, Stripe Terminal for kiosk collections. Multi-currency support for diaspora communities sending gifts in home-country currencies.
Mosques, madrasas, and community organizations in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India. bKash and Nagad mobile wallets for local donors. Zakat, Sadaqah, and Lillah categories pre-loaded. SMS notifications via local providers.
Islamic charities, relief organizations, and community foundations. Zakat calculation support, multi-language interfaces (Arabic, Urdu, Bangla), and regional payment methods. Donor privacy controls for anonymous giving.
Schools, clinics, orphanages, and community development organizations. The $0 price point is critical here — even small fees are barriers. Manual entry and cash handling support for regions with limited digital payment infrastructure.
Diaspora community organizations, international NGOs, and faith-based charities. SEPA and Stripe for payment processing. Multi-currency receiving for organizations that accept gifts in GBP, EUR, and USD.
Community organizations, disaster relief funds, and educational foundations. Localization for regional date formats, timezones (UTC+7 to UTC+12), and currencies (MYR, IDR, PHP, AUD, NZD).
Architecture
Payment, SMS, and email delivery are all pluggable. Each organization selects the providers that work in their region — no platform lock-in.
Abstract adapter interface with concrete implementations. Stripe and PayPal for cards and online payments. bKash and Nagad for Bangladeshi mobile wallets. Manual entry for cash, check, and bank transfers. Adding a new provider is a configuration — write an adapter, register it, and organizations can select it from their dashboard.
Twilio for global reach. SMS.net.bd for Bangladesh at local rates. The adapter pattern means organizations pick whichever SMS provider offers the best delivery and pricing in their region.
SMTP by default — works with any email server. SendGrid, Mailgun, and other transactional email services can be added as adapters. Org-customizable Jinja2 templates stored in the database.
Built-in today
These adapters ship with the platform. More are added based on where organizations need them.
Localization
Not just language — currency formatting, date formats, timezones, and tax receipt standards all adjust per organization.
Our commitment
Today we have built-in adapters for US and Bangladesh markets — Stripe, PayPal, bKash, Nagad, and manual entry. But the architecture is provider-agnostic. Adding a new payment method for any country is a configuration, not a rebuild.
Our goal is to make modern fundraising tools available to every nonprofit on the planet, regardless of where they operate or how their supporters prefer to pay.
