# 2A Support

> 2A Support is the fundraising back end for the 2A community — clubs, ranges, shooting teams, legal defense funds and advocacy groups. Create a free account, publish a fundraising page, take donations online and follow up with every supporter from your own back office. A 6% platform fee applies; payouts on the 15th for the prior month's donations. Donations are not tax-deductible unless the organizer is a registered charity.

2A Support is an independent directory. People describe what they are looking for; the platform matches them with independent organizers. Content is educational only — not professional advice. Part of the R0cketShip network.
