Støtte AS

What Støtte AS does

Støtte AS is a Norwegian fintech-for-good company founded in 2020 and headquartered at Inovation Dock in Sandnes, Norway. The company operates a mobile and web platform that enables supporters to make automatic micro-donations (minimum 2 NOK) to Norwegian sports clubs, charitable organizations, and religious communities each time a card transaction or bank transfer is made from their connected account. Donations are aggregated weekly and settled via Vipps on Tuesday, with users authenticated through BankID. The product targets the funding gap left by the COVID-19 pandemic in Norwegian amateur sports and the broader decline in sponsorship and volunteer-driven fundraising.

The platform consists of three product surfaces: a consumer-facing Støtte App (iOS, Android, and web browser at app.stotte.no), and a separate self-service Støtte Organization Portal at org.stotte.no for clubs and charities to register and manage campaigns. Core technical components include a weekly transaction-counting and settlement engine with a Monday 17:00 cutoff, Vipps integration for payment collection (38 øre + 1.5% per transaction), BankID for identity verification, and GDPR-compliant anonymized donor data architecture. The platform was developed in collaboration with Norges Idrettsforbund (NIF), which serves as a distribution and credibility partner.

Støtte AS operates a pure transaction-based revenue model with no disclosed subscription, fixed, or setup fees for supporters. The company retains a percentage of collected donations (reported as 12% for individual supporters per the FAQ and 8% plus a size-tiered annual fee for organizations per the for-organisasjoner page) before passing funds to recipient organizations, resulting in approximately 92% of donations reaching the intended cause after Vipps costs. The company is bootstrapped, privately held, founder-led (Jørgen Rangnes), and operates exclusively within Norway with a 5-person team.

Revenue model

1. Transaction-based platform fee: Støtte AS takes a percentage of all collected donations for platform operation, maintenance, and development. The fee is deducted before funds reach the recipient organization. In addition, Vipps charges 38 øre + 1.5% per transaction, which is why weekly (not daily) settlements are used to minimize costs.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Norges Idrettsforbund (NIF)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2020Norges Idrettsforbund was a central partner (sentral medspiller) in the early development phase of the Støtte app. The partnership was instrumental in developing the concept for supporting Norwegian sports clubs financially. NIF's endorsement provides credibility and direct channel access to affiliated sports organizations.
• VippscoreTechnology or IntegrationVipps is the payment platform used for all donation transactions. Støtte integrates with Vipps for weekly debit of accumulated donations from supporters. Vipps charges a transaction fee of 38 øre + 1.5% per settlement, which Støtte mitigates by using weekly (not daily) settlements.
• BankIDcoreTechnology or IntegrationBankID is used for user authentication in the Støtte app. All users must have their own BankID to use the service, which is available to Norwegians from age 15.

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• iDonate: Digital fundraising software for nonprofits focused on recurring giving, peer-to-peer campaigns, and donor engagement. Directly comparable in serving nonprofit donation workflows.
• Flipcause: All-in-one fundraising and engagement platform for nonprofits, schools, and community organizations. Comparable audience (clubs, nonprofits) and digital donation infrastructure.
• RallyUp: Online fundraising platform for nonprofits, schools, teams, and communities. Closely comparable in serving sports teams and charitable causes via online donation tooling.
• Donorbox: Recurring donation platform for nonprofits and sports organizations with online forms and payment processing. Comparable in targeting nonprofits and clubs for digital donation collection.
• Funraise: Nonprofit fundraising platform with donation forms, CRM, and event tools. Targets similar nonprofit and cause-based organizations as Støtte.
• Givebutter: US-based fundraising platform for nonprofits offering donations, events, and peer-to-peer campaigns. Direct competitor in the digital fundraising-for-charities space, though without Støtte's transaction-tied micro-donation mechanic.
• Pledge (Pledgeling Foundation): Round-up donation and micro-donation API platform integrated into payments. Comparable micro-donation mechanic but operated as B2B API rather than consumer-facing app.

Others

• Vipps: Norway's dominant mobile payment platform — Støtte's core infrastructure partner and payment rail. Comparable as a transaction platform, though Vipps itself is a payment utility, not a donation/fundraising company. Could become a competitor if Vipps expands into donation use cases.

Broad incumbents

• GoFundMe: Global donation and crowdfunding platform serving individuals, charities, and community causes. Comparable to Støtte as an online donation intermediary, though operating at much larger scale and using discrete fundraising campaigns rather than card-tied micro-donations.

Regional players

• Spond: Norwegian app for sports team and club management including scheduling, messaging, and member fees. Comparable Norwegian sports-club-software focus; potential integration partner or competitor on club-side workflows.
