# Nonprofits and causes: amplify a campaign on SaTT

> How a nonprofit or cause can pay creators for verified awareness posts in dollars, with budget control and honest limits. No special pricing.

Published by SaTT · Last updated 2026-10-29 · Use cases · https://satt.com/guides/use-cases/nonprofits

## In short

A nonprofit can use SaTT like any advertiser: fund an [AdPool](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#adpool) in dollars and pay creators for verified posts that spread a cause, per post or per 1,000 views. There is no special nonprofit pricing: the 15% dollar fee applies. Every payout is backed by an [oracle](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#oracle) measurement, which makes spending easy to report to donors.

## What problem do nonprofits have with creator campaigns?

Causes need reach with small budgets and must account for every dollar. Paying influencers in advance is hard to justify to donors when results are not proven.

## How does SaTT help a cause?

- **Pay for results only**: posts are paid after a 48-hour [maturation](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#maturation) and fraud checks.
- **Unspent budget comes back**: close the pool and the rest returns to your balance.
- **Engagement actions**: a [Quest](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#quest) can reward people for following, commenting with a code, visiting your page or leaving a consented e-mail.

> **Warning:** SaTT offers no discounted or zero fee for nonprofits. In dollars the fee is 15% of the budget, taken when the pool is funded.

## What setup is recommended for an awareness campaign?

Use a [performance](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#pay-per-performance) pool for reach, which pays per 1,000 views until the budget runs out.

- Budget: $200, so $170 goes to creators.
- Networks: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X.
- Price: $1.50 per 1,000 views, $0.02 per like, cap $30 per post.
- Duration: 30 days around your awareness day.

## How do you launch a cause campaign?

1. **Sign in and fund** — Sign in at [Login](https://satt.com/login), choose Dollars and add funds.
2. **Paste your campaign page** — On [Create](https://satt.com/create), paste the page with a goal such as “raise awareness of our clean-water campaign”.
3. **Write a respectful brief** — Give facts, the link to share and what not to say (no shock imagery, no false claims).
4. **Launch and report** — After closing, use the pool page and your [Dashboard](https://satt.com/dashboard) to report posts and amounts paid.

## What should a nonprofit avoid?

- Asking creators to collect donations: SaTT does not process donations or track them.
- Skipping disclosure: paid posts must be labelled as partnerships under most advertising rules. See [Disclosure and ad labels](https://satt.com/guides/tips/disclosure-ad-labels).
- Using Facebook as the main network: Facebook post metrics cannot be measured today.

## Key takeaways

- Nonprofits use SaTT as regular advertisers; no special pricing exists.
- The 15% dollar fee is taken when the pool is funded.
- Payouts are backed by measurements, which helps donor reporting.
- SaTT does not process or track donations.
