How Boxyfund works

Boxyfund is a crowdfunding platform. People and organisations raise money for personal needs, businesses, products, creative work and community projects, and supporters choose what to back.

Kinds of campaign

Personal & emergency

Medical bills, education, family support, emergencies and memorials.

Startup & small business

Product launch

Inventions, gadgets and products: back them early and get one first. Can offer reward tiers.

Creative project

Books, films, music, games, fashion and art. Can offer reward tiers.

Community & social impact

Libraries, sports facilities, clean-ups and local projects. Can offer reward tiers.

Other project

Any other legitimate project or need. Can offer reward tiers.

Funding models

Keep what you raise

The organiser receives every contribution, even if the goal is not reached by the deadline.

All-or-nothing

The organiser receives the money only if the goal is reached by the deadline. If it is not, every supporter is refunded.

Pay it forward

The organiser receives everything up to the goal. Anything raised above the goal is passed on to another Boxyfund campaign the organiser has chosen.

Personal fundraisers can keep what they raise or pay it forward. Startups, products, creative and community campaigns can also choose all-or-nothing. The model is shown on every campaign before you contribute.

Starting a campaign

  1. Create an account and verify your email.
  2. Fill in your campaign: kind of campaign, category, story, goal, deadline, funding model, photos, an optional YouTube video, how the money will be used, milestones and, for projects, risks and reward tiers.
  3. Submit it for review. Our team checks every campaign before it goes live and may ask for more information.
  4. Share it and post updates as you go.
  5. Withdraw the money from your dashboard. With all-or-nothing, withdrawals open once the goal is reached and the deadline has passed. With pay it forward, you can withdraw up to your goal, and we pass anything above it to the campaign you chose when yours ends.

Fees

Starting a campaign is free. Each contribution carries a GH₵10 platform fee, paid by the supporter and shown at checkout before paying. Payment providers may also charge a processing fee, also shown before you pay.

Rewards and risk

Reward tiers are thank-yous from the campaign owner, delivered by them, not by Boxyfund. Products and projects can be delayed or fail, so read the campaign's risks and timeline before you back it. Backing a business or product is not an investment: you don't receive shares, interest or any other financial return.

Safety

Every campaign is reviewed before it goes live, and every campaign page has a button to report a concern. Contributions are not tax-deductible unless a campaign states otherwise with a valid basis. If something looks wrong, contact us.
