Support a Cause: crowdfunding run by the people doing the work
A donation platform for community projects: children's forests, tree adoption, school drives. Every project passes a human review before it goes live, and every fundraiser gets their own link that credits them automatically.

The problem
Clubs and schools raise money through many volunteers. Knowing who brought in which donation usually means asking donors to type a name, and most don't.
Organisers also need to see their project's money and people without being handed every donor's private details.
What we built
Fundraiser links
Each volunteer shares their own link; donations through it are credited to them without the donor doing anything.
Hosted payments
Payments run through Razorpay's hosted page, so card details never touch our servers.
Organiser console
Overview, donations, people and finance per project, with contact details masked and CSV export.
Review queue
New projects wait for a human check before they can collect money.
How it works
- SubmitAn organisation proposes a project.
- ReviewA person checks it before it goes live.
- ShareVolunteers spread their own fundraiser links.
- SettleEach payment is confirmed and credited to the right person and project.
Decisions that mattered
Assume payment events repeat
Payment notifications can arrive twice or out of order. Each one is recorded once, and failed payments are marked instead of sitting at 'pending' forever.
Least privilege for organisers
Organisers see first names and totals; full donor contacts stay with the platform.
