WANT TO DONATE TO A CREATOR BUT HAVE NOWHERE TO?

Wish to Donate collects and packages donation pledges, then delivers them to creators who aren’t on any donation service — so you can do together what’s hard to do alone.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Start a campaign. Fill in the form: the creator’s name, links to the work you want to recognize, and, if possible, links to their social profiles.
    Note: no money leaves your account. Nothing is charged without your explicit action.
  • Rally supporters. Share the donation campaign link on social media with a call to action: “I want to donate to [creator] — join me.”
    The counter on the creator’s page and on your campaign page shows the target amount and how close it is to being reached.
  • We onboard the creator. Once the target pledge amount is hit, we reach out to the creator on behalf of the community, and they register on DonateOpen.
  • You get notified instantly — and make your donation real.

WHY IT WORKS THIS WAY

Delivering a single donation to an unknown address is prohibitively expensive. Wish to Donate solves this bottleneck by packaging pledges together.

WHAT DOES THIS UNLOCK?

DonateOpen brings donations into spaces where they barely exist — film, literature, blogs, online education, and beyond. The goal: donate to anyone, for anything.

For campaign participants, Wish to Donate means you donate to whoever you choose, for whatever you value. You can discover a rising creator, act as a producer, build a community, and find like-minded people. Your contribution appears (with your consent) in your public profile and strengthens your reputation on DonateOpen.

For creators, it’s a chance to find supporters they didn’t know they had — and to expand the reach of their work.

WHAT IF THE CREATOR CAN’T BE FOUND?

That’s disappointing — but it costs you nothing. No money leaves your account until you press “Donate” yourself.
