Reviewed, managed fundraising

How FundRiseMe works

People submit help requests to FundRiseMe. Requests are reviewed privately, and only approved cases are prepared and published by FundRiseMe as public fundraising campaigns.

1. Submit a help request

Provide the beneficiary, requested amount, location, category, contact and payout details, photos, and a complete explanation of the need. Submission is an application only and is not published automatically.

2. Verification and approval

FundRiseMe reviews the applicant, beneficiary, relationship, purpose, supporting information, and payout details. We may request identity, medical, invoice, financial, consent, or other evidence where reasonably necessary.

3. FundRiseMe prepares the campaign

If approved, FundRiseMe creates and publishes the public campaign. Where useful and with appropriate consent, our team may edit the story, prepare photographs or video, create campaign creative, or arrange an in-person visit to verify the need and produce accurate material.

4. Promotion and donations

Approved campaigns may be promoted through FundRiseMe channels and, where appropriate, paid advertising on Facebook, Instagram, Google, TikTok, search, video, display, or other suitable channels. Promotion costs may be covered by FundRiseMe or, only where disclosed and agreed in advance, recovered from campaign proceeds under the applicable campaign-specific promotion terms.

5. Refund window and release

Donors may request a refund while the relevant donation remains under FundRiseMe’s control and before it is irreversibly transferred, spent, committed, or otherwise applied to the beneficiary or an expressly disclosed campaign expense. Funds may be held for refund handling, verification, fraud, dispute, provider, or compliance checks before release.

6. Ongoing updates

Applicants and beneficiaries must keep material information current. FundRiseMe may publish verified updates, pause a campaign, request further evidence, or change the release plan when circumstances materially change.
