Problem
Family caregivers often face financial strain due to the costs associated with providing care, and they may lack direct means to solicit or receive financial assistance from their community. Traditional fundraising methods can be cumbersome and may not effectively leverage the support networks available to caregivers.
Solution
Tufa is a platform that enables communities to financially support caregivers through everyday online shopping. Users create a "Tufa circle" for a specific caregiver, and then community members shop at participating online retailers through the Tufa platform or browser extension. A percentage of each purchase is contributed to the caregiver's account, providing a passive fundraising mechanism. This allows caregivers to harness the collective purchasing power of their support network to offset caregiving expenses without requiring direct monetary contributions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes family caregivers who need financial assistance and their extended network of friends, family, and community members who are willing to support them through their online purchases.
Features
- Browser extension that automatically activates when shopping at participating retailers.
- Commission tracking to monitor the financial impact of purchases.
- Funds withdrawal once a minimum threshold of $10 in confirmed commissions is reached.
- Integration with a wide range of retailers across various categories, including fashion, home goods, and electronics.
- Referral program that incentivizes new user sign-ups.
