How donation fundraisers work

Compare with rewards and investing
  1. Start your fundraiser

    Pick a category and tell your story. Set a goal if you like: it’s optional, and there’s no deadline.

  2. Share it with friends

    Send your link by text, email or social media. Most donations come from people you know.

  3. Keep what you raise

    Thank donors, post updates, and withdraw every donation as it comes in. 0% platform fee: donors can add an optional tip.
