Before creating your campaign
Requirements to publish on Kukumiku.
Publishing a campaign is simple. We review each one before launching it, and to pass that review it must meet a few requirements. Here they all are.
Charitable
Non-profit and aimed at helping individuals or groups in clear need.
Transparent
With truthful and verifiable information, both about the story and how the money will be used.
Suitable
Meeting the basics that any crowdfunding campaign needs: a realistic budget and a responsible adult.
The review
What we look for in each campaign
Before publishing it, we check these points. If anything is missing, we’ll let you know in your dashboard so you can fix it and resubmit it.
Your campaign must
- Be charitable and help individuals or groups in clear need.
- Be non-profit (with the exception explained below).
- Have a realistic budget and a goal consistent with it.
- Provide truthful information that we can verify.
- Be promoted by an adult of legal age, or have a responsible adult.
We won’t publish it if
- It is not charitable or seeks financial gain.
- It discriminates based on race, sex, religion, or origin.
- It contains falsehoods or contradictions, conceals key information, or cannot be verified.
- The money is used to promote or advertise the campaign itself.
- The money is used for the expenses of setting up an organization.
- The copy or images are very low quality.
A project can generate income, create jobs, or boost small local economies when it supports disadvantaged sectors, communities, or individuals. The condition is that whoever promotes the campaign does not directly benefit from that income.
If we screen before publishing, donors can trust afterwards.
On other platforms, anyone can publish instantly. Here, no campaign launches without a review, and that stops a significant amount of fraud.
Frequently asked questions
What we get asked most before getting started
Don’t see your case? In the help center there are answers for every step.
Can I create a campaign as an individual?
Yes. You don’t need an organization behind you. You can raise funds for an association, to help a friend or relative, or for your own project, as long as it is non-profit and meets these requirements. In addition, donors can deduct their contribution.
Can I help a specific person?
Yes. Many campaigns are meant to help an individual, a relative, or a friend. In these cases, a bit more verification is usually needed, such as medical reports or quotes.
Are campaigns from any country accepted?
Yes, both for projects in any country and promoted from anywhere. Funds raised are always counted in euros, so it’s best to share the campaign where the euro is the standard currency or at least familiar: otherwise, it might confuse donors.
Can I receive the money in another country?
Yes. We transfer the funds raised to a verified bank account in any country. If convenient, we can also pay the service provider directly.
Can donations be made from any country?
Yes, by card from anywhere in the world. The charge is processed in euros; if the card uses another currency, their bank handles the exchange.
How long does the review take?
It depends on each campaign and what needs to be verified. If we need you to change anything, you’ll see our feedback in your dashboard; make the corrections and submit it again.
