Separate personal donations, reward campaigns, and securities offerings before choosing a platform.
Program rules, amounts, and dates can change. Check the linked official sources for the current cycle.
Donation fundraising
Donors generally give without receiving company ownership. A personal fundraiser is not automatically a charitable organization or deductible contribution.
Rewards and pre-sales
A promised product or perk can create obligations to supporters. Explain delivery expectations, limits, and what happens if plans change.
Investment crowdfunding
A company offering securities through crowdfunding must follow applicable securities rules and use required registered intermediaries. Do not describe investments as donations.
