How FONDAE Works

See how FONDAE makes crowdfunding simple, social, and impactful—so your ideas can grow with the support they deserve.

At FONDAE, we combine the power of all-or-nothing fundraising with the magic of shared, offline experiences. Here's how it works, step by step:

Step 1

Create Your Campaign

Start by building your campaign page—it only takes a few minutes.

Set your funding goal

Minimum: $5,000 — enough to push your vision forward

Choose your category

Film, Tech, Music, Food, Fashion, Health, Art, and more

Tell your story

Use compelling text, photos, and video to explain your mission

Schedule your in-person event

This is your built-in reward for backers

Create Campaign
Step 2

Plan Your Required Event

Every campaign includes one mandatory offline experience—an in-person gathering for your backers.

This event is part celebration, part fundraiser, part community-builder. It's your chance to bring people into your world.

Step 3

Fundraise in Three Phases

Unlike other platforms, you don't need to reach your goal before your event takes place.

1

Before the Event

Build buzz and drive donations leading up to your event. Get people excited and promote across your network.

2

During the Event

Your most powerful fundraising moment. Attendees are emotionally invested, inspired, and ready to give.

3

After the Event

45 extra days to raise remaining funds. Follow up with guests and keep building momentum.

Step 4

Reach Your Goal

FONDAE follows an all-or-nothing model—you only receive the funds if you hit your minimum goal.

🎉

If you succeed

You get your funds (minus fees), and your supporters become your first real audience.

🔄

If you fall short

No one is charged, and you can revise, regroup, and relaunch when ready.

Step 5

Grow Your Community

After your event and successful campaign, you'll walk away with more than just funds.

👥

Stronger Network

A base of real supporters you've met in person

💫

Engaged Audience

People who believe in your vision and want to see you succeed

🌟

Shared Experience

Meaningful memories created with your community
