What we are
Fund500 is a personal-cause crowdfunding platform built around one product principle: trust should be visible at the moment a donor decides to give. Verified payout accounts, transparent fees, and clear payout timelines show up in the checkout itself, not buried in the fine print. Operator review queues are part of the product, not an afterthought.
What we are not
We are not a registered charity. Donations are not tax-deductible. We are not a bank, escrow service, or investment platform. We are a software platform that facilitates personal-cause fundraising via Stripe Connect.
What we support today
Personal causes in four narrow categories at MVP: medical, memorial / funeral, emergency assistance, and animal medical. US-only at launch.
