Become a Funder
Empower Your Community, Earn Rewards, And Fuel Local Business Growth
What Is a Funder?
A Funder supports a local business campaign by contributing capital in exchange for a reward-based return set by the campaign creator. You’re not buying equity—you’re helping your neighbors and earning perks you can spend at their establishment.
Why Fund Locally?
- Direct Impact: Your dollars go straight to businesses you care about.
- Stronger Communities: Keep local economies vibrant and jobs growing.
- Custom Rewards: Campaigns can offer any match rate—50%, 75%, 100% (or more!)—to maximize your incentives.
