For organizers

Launch in three steps

No experience needed. Most organizers go from idea to first donation the same day.

  1. Step 1

    Tell your story

    Add a title, a goal, and the story behind why you're fundraising. Upload a cover photo so donors connect instantly.

  2. Step 2

    Share with your circle

    Send your campaign link to friends, family, and coworkers. The first donations almost always come from people who know you.

  3. Step 3

    Receive donations & post updates

    Track every donation in your dashboard, thank your supporters, and share progress updates as your fundraiser grows.

For donors

Give in under a minute

Every donation is acknowledged. Every dollar is accounted for.

  1. Step 1

    Find a cause that moves you

    Browse campaigns by category — emergencies, medical, memorials, education, animals, and community projects.

  2. Step 2

    Give what feels right

    Pick an amount, leave a message, and choose whether to appear publicly or donate anonymously. No account required.

  3. Step 3

    Follow the impact

    Get organizer updates by email so you can see exactly how your donation made a difference.

Trust & safety

Built on transparency

We verify organizers, review flagged campaigns, and give donors a direct line to report concerns. Every donation is encrypted in transit and processed by trusted payment partners.

  • Verified organizers

    Nonprofits and high-profile campaigns are reviewed before getting a verified badge.

  • Donor protection

    If a campaign is misused, our team investigates and helps make things right.

  • Clear fees

    No platform fee for organizers — only standard payment processing and an optional donor tip.
