This was initially demoed at FediCon 2025, but CrowdBucks is an open source, self-hostable fundraising system that allows people to financially support one another. You use your existing Fediverse account to hold a fundraiser, and can also donate to other people’s fundraisers as well. The form factor is kind of similar to Kickstarter or Patreon.
You must log in or # to comment.
Why not GNU Taler?
Actually, there’s a pretty decent possibility of this happening! Ben from Bandwagon is currently looking into this for the underlying Emissary platform. If it proves easy enough to integrate, there’s literally no reason not to.
Proving it in one project might see adoption across similar efforts.
Yeah, good question.
From their website
From people you know
CrowdBucks is created by individual people you know, and not a large face-less corporation
And yet, there are no people shown on the website. How do I do know if I know these people?
How does this compare to Liberapay? It’s already opensource and quite good.
Just curious: would any of this be able to circumvent or prevent this unspeakable crime:

Sweet so now we have OpenCollective, Librepay, and now CrowdBucks. All kind of filling different roles it seems. On going orgnization funding (with transparency as a goal), patronige of a project/group you support (with ease as a goal), and now fundraising (which is generally a limited time activity).
Am I comparing them all pretty well here? Or is there anythjng im missing?
