Hey! I have been searching for platforms to collect money for a non-profit sustainability organization at my uni (in Sweden). If I search for options, I get lists of for-profit American companies.
I noticed lemm.ee uses ko-fi.com. It is British and my go-to option now. My pet peeve with it is that you need to use PayPal or Stripe to get money. I have no experience in (obtaining money through) crowdfunding, so idk how normal that is.
Do you know any other alternatives?
PS: We really need the crowdfunding goal (or just a count) feature for transparency.

But it works only for recurrent donations, right?

I believe so, but you can also cancel the subscription after sending

opencollective.com supports 1-time donations, though I think they take a bigger cut than liberapay.

CMV: Gofundme only exists because the US healthcare system is utter crap.

I've never actually used them but in 5 minutes of googling I found ulule. They are based in France and seem to fulfill your requirements.
There is also wemakeit, a Swiss platform targeted specifically at nonprofits. I've never used them either, so I can't tell you how well they work.

KissKissBankBank is another French crowdfunding, quite known and used by artists or creators around here.
I don’t know if this works for OP project but that’s an option.

I know that in Poland there patronite.pl works great, but it seems to be unavailable in other languages.
