Common Questions

Who is PayBud Cares?
We are a USA based, nationally recognized, 501c(3) non-profit organization. We have been in operation since 2018.

What is PayBud Cares?
In a nutshell, we aim to provide individuals, campaign organizers and charitable organizations a new way to fundraise. We want everyone, everywhere to be able to raise money for the things that matter to them most without feeling constrained by financial limitations.

What makes PayBud Cares different from other crowdfunding sites?
Well, we are completely different. First off, we are not a crowdfunding site where you can directly raise money. Instead we offer you a platform to list your cause and then a mechanism by which you and/or your supporters can turn the simple things you/they do each and every day into cash that can to be donated for your approved PayBud Cares cause or project.

Secondly, we are using our own money upfront to guarantee that your project/cause is listed in the PayBud Reward network and eligible for member donations. No Crowdfunding platform does this or takes a personal financial stake in helping your cause.

What types of causes will you assist in raising money for?
We will consider any cause you submit. Currently, we are primarily supporting causes that have an active crowdfunding page on any major crowdfunding platform. We feel this helps lend credibility and transparency to the causes we financially support.

How does PayBud Cares work?
If your cause is approved, we will submit it to PayBud (PayBud.com) to be listed on their Rewards platform. Once listed, any PayBud member (worldwide) will be able to see and donate Reward points to your cause.

Projects are listed for usually one (1) month. Once the time has expired on the listing, PayBud Cares will redeem the donated Reward points and have the cash transferred to PayBud Cares bank account or PayPal account. Within 2-3 business days, the received funds will be sent to the fundraise organizer’s crowdfunding campaign page along with the list of individuals and companies that donated to the cause. This process ensures transparency for all parties involved.
