Problem
Many youth sports leagues, PTOs, and charitable causes struggle to engage a broad base of small-scale donors due to the perceived need for large financial commitments. Traditional fundraising methods often require significant effort and resources to reach potential donors and collect contributions.
Solution
Crumb provides a round-up donation platform that automatically donates spare change from everyday purchases to support youth sports leagues, PTOs, and other charitable causes. By linking donors' checking accounts or debit cards, the platform rounds up each purchase to the nearest dollar and donates the difference. This micro-donation approach enables organizations to engage a wider audience of donors who can contribute small amounts without feeling a significant financial burden. The platform simplifies the donation process, making it easier for individuals to support their favorite causes on an ongoing basis.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes youth sports leagues, parent-teacher organizations (PTOs), and charitable causes seeking to expand their donor base, as well as individuals who want to support these organizations through small, automated donations.
