Beewyze provides a QR‑code based virtual tip‑jar that lets fans donate instantly to artists via Stripe, with an adjustable split that directs a portion of each contribution to selected NGOs. The platform also offers corporate matching that amplifies donations based on contribution count, handles payment processing, compliance, and delivers real‑time notifications and tax receipts, while distributing funds directly to creators and charities.

Problem
Artists often struggle to monetize their work directly from audiences, especially in live or digital events, and lack easy mechanisms to link their creations to charitable causes, limiting both revenue potential and social impact.
Solution
Beewyze offers a virtual tip‑jar that generates a QR code for instant fan donations. Creators can designate a percentage of each contribution to a chosen nonprofit, and corporate partners (BumbleBees) can amplify donations proportionally to the number of contributions received. The platform handles payment processing, compliance, and transparent distribution of funds between artists and solidarity actors, while providing real‑time notifications and tax receipts for donors. By tying artistic support to social causes, Beewyze enhances audience engagement and increases overall donation amounts.
Target Audience
Primary users are independent artists, performers, and creators (e.g., musicians, theater groups, visual artists) who seek direct fan support, as well as NGOs and socially‑focused brands that want to partner on cause‑linked fundraising.
