What happens to funds if a project doesn't reach its goal?
Funds are only released to project organizers when the funding goal is reached. If a project doesn't reach its goal by the deadline, all contributions are returned to supporters. This ensures that projects have adequate funding to succeed.
How are projects verified?
All projects go through a verification process. We check project details, organizer credentials, and feasibility. We may request additional documentation or clarification. Verified projects are marked with a badge.
Can I support multiple projects?
Yes! You can support as many projects as you want. Each contribution helps make a difference. You can track all your supported projects in your dashboard.

How do I track project progress?
Project organizers are required to provide regular updates. You can follow projects you support and receive email notifications about milestones, updates, and completion. All updates are visible on the project page.
