There are many advantages to creating a campaign for raising money through crowdfunding on BackaBuddy rather than on your own website.


Transparency and Social Proof: BackaBuddy is a fully integrated platform that allows for customizable crowdfunding campaigns, real-time visibility of donations via the barometer, the ability for donors to leave a comment and embedded social media sharing options. Through our strict vetting processes, donors also have peace of mind, knowing they are supporting bonifide causes.


Payment Convenience: BackaBuddy supports multiple, easy to use payment options including credit card, debit card, Paypal, EFT and Instant EFT. Additionally, working with the best payment providers in the world, we ensure minimal donation drop-off rates, and are constantly looking to streamline the donation process.


Raise More Funds: 

With the ease of use of the BackaBuddy platform convenience, and sophisticated marketing and administration efforts we offer, campaign creators typically have the ability to raise more funds than through their own means. Through nurturing relationships with donors, we have also found an increase in repeat donors for a number of worthy causes. BackaBuddy also has a strong brand reputation that ensures trust with the donor community.
