Raisefree Charter
Raisefree (fka Gocrowdera) is a Public Benefit Corporation Since 2021
Raisefree PBC (previously known as Gocrowdera PBC) is committed to creating a positive impact on society and the environment through our operations and activities.
Update March 2024: We’re thrilled to announce that Gocrowdera PBC is evolving into Raisefree PBC! Our mission remains the same — to empower you to raise money freely for the causes you care about.
Our public benefit charter outlines our commitment to the following principles:
- Happiness: Raisefree is committed to spreading happiness, kindness, and joy through crowdfunding. We are dedicated to keeping our platform forever fee-free and accessible to all while avoiding using negative tactics to encourage donations. These values are at the core of our mission and will continue to guide our company in the future.
- Community: We strive to foster a sense of community on our platform and aim to create a global network of givers and innovators who are committed to making a positive impact.
- Inclusivity: We are committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity, and we do not tolerate discrimination, hate speech, or any form of harassment on our platform.
- Sustainability: We are committed to operating in an environmentally sustainable way and seek to reduce our carbon footprint by implementing sustainable practices wherever possible.
- Transparency: We believe in transparency and open communication with our community. We are committed to being transparent in our policies, practices, and financial reporting.
- Innovation: We are committed to continuous innovation and development of our platform to provide the best user experience for our community.
- Impact: We measure our success not only by financial metrics but also by the positive impact we create on society and the environment. We aim to maximize our impact through our platform and operations.
We are committed to upholding these principles and strive to be a force for good in the world through our crowdfunding platforms including gocrowdera.com (soon to be raisefree.com) and yellowscooter.studio
