Offer for Backers:
- Back individual campaigns (medical and welfare causes, disaster relief, culture, animal welfare, local revitalization, research, and more) in exchange for rewards the creator sets, or with no reward on donation-type campaigns (“Readyfor Charity”).
- Campaigns typically run All-or-Nothing (funds released only if the goal is met, full refund otherwise) or All-In.
