How Fundraising on HopeBuilt Works

At HopeBuilt, we believe in the power of real stories, shared by real people, to spark global compassion and drive meaningful change. Our platform was built to connect individuals in need with those who want to help—not through cold algorithms, but through human connection, dignity, and hope. Whether you're facing a personal crisis, supporting a loved one, or advocating for a community cause, we’re here to help carry your story into the world.

1. Submit Your Story

The first step is simple—and powerful. When you’re ready, submit a short form telling us about your situation. We welcome stories of all kinds: personal medical emergencies, family hardship, unexpected loss, rebuilding after disaster, grassroots activism, or simply needing a helping hand. You don’t need to have everything figured out—we’re here to listen without judgment.

Tell us who you are, what you’re facing, and what kind of support you’re seeking. Think of it as the beginning of a conversation, not a pitch. You don’t have to write a perfect story—we'll help shape it with you.

2. We’ll Reach Out Personally

Once we receive your submission, our team reviews it with care. If your story meets our eligibility guidelines, we’ll reach out to you directly. This isn’t a generic auto-reply—we’ll take the time to connect, ask questions, gather any missing information, and request supporting media like photos or videos. Visuals help bring your story to life and create an emotional connection with supporters.

You’ll also receive guidance on tone, transparency, and how to communicate your needs effectively and respectfully. We want your voice to shine through in a way that inspires trust and generosity.

3. We Build and Launch Your Campaign

Once everything’s ready, we begin building your custom campaign page—complete with your story, visuals, and a secure donation system. Then we launch it across our platform and activate our outreach.

But we don’t just post and hope.

We actively promote your campaign through targeted digital marketing, email campaigns, social media storytelling, and partner networks. Your story is shared with thousands—sometimes even millions—of people around the world who are looking for meaningful ways to give.

Every campaign on HopeBuilt becomes part of a larger movement—one fueled by empathy, human resilience, and the belief that kindness can be scaled.

Whether you raise $500 or $50,000, our goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and never alone. Fundraising on HopeBuilt isn’t just about the money—it’s about community, healing, and rebuilding hope when it’s needed most.

You bring the courage.
We’ll bring the spotlight.
