Understanding Our Model
Our Funding Model
At Salone Crowdfunder, we operate with a flexible donation-based model. Campaigners retain all the funds they raise, even if they do not hit their target goal — offering both flexibility and a supportive fundraising environment to help bring ideas to life.
Donation-Based Crowdfunding
Donation-based crowdfunding is a straightforward, community-focused funding model. Donors contribute funds without the expectation of financial returns or rewards — emphasizing the spirit of community support and philanthropy that lies at the heart of everything we do.
