Raise funds for your personal project
Got a project that means something to you and just needs a financial push? A school trip, a course, something creative... Whatever it is, Happy Pot lets you set up a fundraiser in a couple of clicks and let the people around you contribute, straight from their phone. Based in Switzerland, nothing to pay upfront.
Why fundraise your idea through Happy Pot?
Whether it's a school trip, a creative project, or just bringing an idea to life, asking people for money can feel awkward to organise. A fundraiser makes it easier: you explain the project, and people contribute freely, without you having to ask anyone directly.
With Happy Pot, everyone gives what they want, from their phone, in seconds. Everything's in one place, so you can track progress as it happens.
With Happy Pot you can:
- Set up your fundraiser in minutes: title, a proper description, a photo
- Explain the project in detail, so people understand what it's for
- Share the link by WhatsApp, email or text with family, friends, anyone
- Take contributions 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
How does a Happy Pot fundraiser work?
Set up the fundraiser
Give a title to your fundraiser ("Lea's school trip", "My project"...), add a photo and explain what it's for and how the money will be used. Set a target, or leave it open.
Get the word out
Share the link by message, email or social media with family, friends, anyone who might want to help. Everyone gives what they want.
Collect and get going
Once the money's in, transfer it to your account. Withdraw more than once if you need to: useful for funding things in stages.
Everything you need to know
How do withdrawals work?
You can request a transfer at any point. The money goes straight into your account. It takes 1 to 5 business days. No hidden costs: see our pricing page for the full breakdown.
What can a personal project fundraiser cover?
Plenty of things:
- A school trip or language exchange
- A course, training, or further study
- A creative project: a book, an album, a short film
- A driving licence or expensive equipment
- Pretty much anything else that matters to you
