Aukok.lt

What Aukok.lt does

Aukok.lt is Lithuania's first and largest online donation portal, operated by the non-governmental non-profit organization Všį Geros valios projektai and headquartered in Vilnius. Founded in 2009, the platform connects individual donors, corporate donors, and Lithuanian taxpayers with NGOs, public institutions, foundations, and associations raising funds for charitable projects across nine categories including children, elderly, disabled, animals, emergency aid, Ukraine, education, culture, and emotional support. Its product surface includes the core donation portal, recurring donation subscriptions, multi-project donation carts, named donations, gift certificates, a virtual donation box for personal campaigns, an ambassador program, and SMS donations via short code 1405.

The platform is built on WordPress and WooCommerce with integrations to multiple payment processors: EveryPay and Payhere.co handle recurring donations, Swedbank and Paysera provide domestic banking rails, and PayPal and TransferGo enable international donations from the Lithuanian diaspora. The operating model is community-led: NGOs submit projects which are vetted and published by the Aukok.lt team, donors can contribute one-time, recurring, or in someone else's name, and individuals can become ambassadors to fundraise on behalf of selected causes. Marketing is primarily organic through Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, a blog, and an email newsletter.

Aukok.lt generates revenue through a 7% platform fee on funds raised by charitable organizations, with the fee calculated only on the amount actually collected if a project fails to meet its goal. Additional, secondary revenue streams include a fixed take on SMS donations (1.5 EUR per 2 EUR SMS), corporate partnership programs, and 1.2% personal income tax designations routed to the platform. The organization is lean, with a 2-person core operating team and 5 total employees, governed by an unpaid four-person board composed of senior figures from Omnisend, Revolut Bank, Think Twice, and NFQ.
