For Businesses

  • Local Businesses set up a cool fundraising project for their renovations or expansions. Providing loyal customers with rewards, e.g discounted coupons, memorabilia, etc.
  • If the project is approved by our administrative team, we will set up a fundraising campaign for you.
  • Funds will be collected from contributors over a 30 day period.
  • Within the time period the local business has to reach the expected funding goals.
  • If the expected goal is met or exceeded, the funds are transferred to the local business. In the case where it is not, the funds are returned to the contributors.
