Commitment to transparency
Trust is not asked for, it is earned.
No campaign is published without a review, and funds do not leave the Foundation until we know where they are going. That is how we work.
See the journey of a donationIt takes years to earn people’s trust. It can be lost in a day.
When it comes to people’s goodwill, there are no shortcuts. That is why transparency is not just a section on our website: it guides every decision we make. And most organizers appreciate it.
Four filters between your donation and its destination
Not just words. Follow the journey of a euro from the moment the campaign is published until its impact is shared.
- Filter 1
Pre-screening
Unlike other platforms, no campaign here is published on its own. We review that it meets all requirements before launching it, stopping much of the fraud that happens when anyone can publish instantly.

Fact verification
When needed, especially for individual causes, we verify that the story is true. Each campaign is different, so we ask for whatever makes sense:
- Medical reports
- Quotes
- Invoices
- Organization details
- Filter 3
Custody of funds raised
Donations first arrive in an account held by Fundación Kukumiku. They are only transferred once the campaign ends or when the organizer requests it and it is justified. We can even pay service providers directly, without the money going through the organizer’s account.

Post-campaign follow-up
Upon closing, we ask organizers to share what they did with what was raised and its impact, along with invoices where appropriate. After three filters, this final one is mainly so you know what your money has achieved.
The money takes no detours
How a safeguarded donation travels. If the project requires it, we pay the invoice directly.
