How it Works

Tipping Bucket is a successful online platform that helps individuals and organizations fund raise for sustainable social causes. Our site features one project, or Bucket, at a time, each with its own specific funding goal and deadline.

Using principles of grassroots fundraising and effective social media strategies, we help our partners leverage their social networks (and build new ones), to reach the funding goal in the allotted time by collecting donations as little as $1 at a time. If the bucket reaches 100% before time runs out, all the money collected is given to the partner organization to make the project a reality. If not, the transactions are cancelled and no one pays a dime.

However, Tipping Bucket is more than just a fundraising platform. It's about capacity building, mentoring, building relationships, and evaluating impact. We hope to provide not only financial, but also social and human capital to help make your project a reality.
