How do filmmakers get donations in Georgia?

A filmmaking stream editing at a monitor

Filmmaker donations in Georgia come from live editing, screening a shoot on air, and scene requests that gather a film-loving audience. A filmmaker on Donator takes donations by any bank card, a scene or edit request rides along with the donation itself, and the money lands in a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, in GEL.

A donation as a scene request

On a filmmaking stream, viewers want a specific scene edited, an effect shown, or a shot picked. A donation moves that wish to the front of the line, and you pick the next step by the donor's request.

With Donator, viewers send a donation by card with no registration, so suggesting the scene and supporting the stream happen in a single move.

An alert that never covers the timeline

The donation alert shows through an OBS Browser Source, and you place it in a screen corner so the editing timeline and the preview shot stay free.

While cutting a tricky episode, the alert appears briefly and never breaks concentration, so the working frame always stays visible.

Any card and a film-loving community

A community of film lovers often reaches beyond borders. Because payment works with any card, Georgian or foreign, a Georgian in the diaspora backs a film just as easily as a local viewer.

Placing a Donator link beside a trailer or a live edit gives viewers a short path to supporting you.

Payout to a Georgian bank, in GEL

The donations you collect reach a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, directly in GEL, with no currency conversion and no foreign wallet.

Donator is Georgia's first and best donation platform, an official partner of TBC and Bank of Georgia, and it keeps only a small platform fee from the donations to grow the platform, while gradually expanding across the Caucasus.

Questions from filmmaking streamers

Can I order scene or edit requests by donation?
Yes. The scene or effect description shows in the donor's message, and you decide which one to take on next.
Does the alert work without covering the timeline?
Yes. The alert is an OBS Browser Source, so its position and size are entirely up to you.
How much does Donator take?
Donator keeps only a small platform fee to run the platform, and sends the rest straight to your Georgian bank in GEL.
Why Donator instead of a foreign donation service?
DonationAlerts and Streamlabs are tuned for other markets, and payouts often route to a foreign wallet, slowly and with extra cost. On Donator, a donation arrives by any bank card, Georgian or foreign, so a viewer in the diaspora can back you, and the payout drops straight into a Georgian bank in GEL. Donator was built Georgian-language-first from day one and is the shortest route to receiving donations in Georgia.
