Make something. Move someone.

bfunded is one platform for two proven models. Here's exactly how it works — including what it costs.

Project

Projects

Reward-based. A fixed goal, a firm deadline, and reward tiers backers pledge for. Best for products, games, art, inventions, and events.

Cause

Donation-based. Flexible or ongoing, no rewards, custom amounts. Best for emergencies, medical costs, community needs, and nonprofits.

Fees are configured platform-wide and shown on every campaign page and at checkout — never buried.

Project platform fee

Deducted from funds a project receives.

Cause platform fee

Causes keep everything; optional tips fund the platform.

Supporter tip

10% default

Always optional. Choose 0% at checkout with one tap.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Standard card processing fees apply in addition to the platform fee.

1. Launch
A guided wizard: type → story → funding → rewards → media → preview → publish.
2. Share
Every user gets a personal referral link. Track clicks, visits, supporters, and dollars per link.
3. Get backed
Quick amounts, reward selection, and a two-step checkout with fees shown before you pay.
4. Hit milestones
25 / 50 / 75 / 100% are celebrated on the page and in notifications.
5. Post updates
Every supporter is notified. Updates are the #1 signal of a healthy campaign.
6. Grow
Supporters share forward with their own link — and new supporters arrive.

Creator identity

Verified badge, member-since date, and campaign history on every page.

Moderation

Every campaign shows its review status and has a one-tap report button. Admins can approve, flag, or suspend.

Secure checkout

Built for Stripe: card details never touch bfunded servers. Secret keys stay server-side.

Where the money goes

Projects publish a Use of Funds breakdown; Causes explain how the money will help.
