What Mission is
Mission is a free donation plugin for self-hosted WordPress sites, built for nonprofits and other groups raising money online. Its forms accept one-time and recurring gifts, suggested or custom amounts, anonymous donations, tribute dedications, fee recovery, and custom fields. Recurring gifts can renew weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually; donors can pause, resume, or cancel, and automatic retries handle renewal attempts. Supporters can fundraise individually or in teams through campaign pages, with dashboards and donation crediting. Administrators can review revenue and donor metrics, export CSV or JSON, and use an activity log retained for 90 days. Stripe Connect processes credit and debit card donations. WordPress blocks and shortcode equivalents support page builders including Elementor, Bricks, and Divi. The free plan includes every feature, unlimited forms, recurring donations, no platform fees, and no add-ons. Donor tips are optional and can be set to zero; the listing also describes an option to select a fixed 3% platform fee per form. Automated receipts and embedded forms are supported.
