How It Works
Uniting Our Efforts
There are many important causes in your community worth supporting. The problem is that none of us can make a difference alone, and we are often divided in what we believe to be most important. Banded Efforts is the only organization that brings us all together with fairness and equality.
Step One - Projects
Local organizations from within your county submit projects for funding. As projects are approved, they are assigned to one of three categories:
​
-
Animals and the Environment
-
Education, Health and Science
-
People and Society
​
The projects are then posted to our "Projects" page for the next step.
Step Two - Voting
Subscribers cast monthly votes on which projects they want to have funded first. We select the top project from each category and focus all donations towards those projects to get them started as soon as possible. After the chosen projects are fully funded, we move directly onto the next set.
All votes are cumulative and roll over from month to month. This means that every project has the chance to receive funding. We make sure your votes matter!
Step Three - Progress
There are no waiting periods for funding, and every project is ready to move forward. By pooling donations and taking turns sharing our goals, organizations gain the potential to complete much larger and more impactful projects. This allows your county to progress from every angle at an accelerated rate.
Your Part
For a small monthly donation you are joining dedicated people from within your county in efforts to make life better for everyone. Your donations only go towards the projects within your own county. Everything we do is 100% transparent and every project is audited and followed to completion. We take care of everything so all you have to do is sit back and watch your community grow!
