Charity fundraising made simple
Want to support a charity, help a friend through a medical situation, or raise money for a cause you care about? Happy Pot makes it easy to set up a fundraiser and let people contribute straight from their phone. Based in Switzerland, with nothing to pay upfront.
Why raise money for a cause through Happy Pot?
Whether you're collecting money for a charity, covering a friend's medical bills, or raising funds for a family going through a hard time, doing it the old-fashioned way takes effort: chasing people, handling cash, keeping track of who's given what.
With Happy Pot, everyone contributes what they want, from their phone, in seconds, wherever they are. Everything's in one place, and you can see exactly how your fundraiser is doing at a glance.
With Happy Pot you can:
- Set up your fundraiser in minutes: title, a proper description, a photo
- Explain what it's for in the description, so donors understand the context
- Share the link by WhatsApp, email, social media or text
- Take donations by card or TWINT
- Keep more of what's raised: our fees are some of the lowest around
- Withdraw whenever you like, without closing the fundraiser
- Accept anonymous donations: useful for anything health-related or personal
- Get extra visibility, since we feature fundraisers on the platform
Setting up a charity fundraiser
Create the fundraiser
Give it a title ("Fundraiser for XY charity" or "Helping cover Mary's care", for instance), add a photo, and explain the situation, the goal, and how the money will be used.
Bring in your donors
Share the link by message, email or social media, with your own network, or more widely if the cause calls for it. People give whatever they're comfortable with.
Collect and pass on the funds
Once donations are in, transfer the money straight to your account, or the account of whoever it's for. You can withdraw more than once without closing the fundraiser.
Everything you need to know
How do withdrawals work?
You can request a transfer at any point once the fundraiser is live. The money goes into whichever account you choose — yours, the person you're supporting, or the charity itself. It takes 1 to 5 business days. No hidden costs: see our pricing page for the full breakdown.
Tips for a fundraiser that actually works
- Be honest about the situation: people give more when they understand exactly what's going on and where the money's going. You don't need a long story, just an honest one.
- Share it more than once: a lot of people simply miss the first message, so don't be shy about reposting the link
- Say thank you and keep people updated: a quick thank-you or a progress update tends to bring in more support down the line
What can a fundraiser be used for?
A mutual aid fundraiser covers a lot of ground:
- Medical costs or treatment for an illness
- A family fundraiser to support a household going through a tough patch
- Raising money for a charity or humanitarian cause
- One-off support for someone close to you going through a difficult time
- Funding a non-profit community project
