The season’s hard, the needs are many, connections are limited, Covid19 crisis inevitably disrupted the way we do things. But as the old adage goes, Tough Times Call for Tough decisions, Dickson Mushabe has brought a solution that is to ease the way communities support each other during and after this global crisis. He designed a community digital fundraising platform Dubbed DOLPHIN FUND.
Dolphin Fund (Â https://dolphinfund.org/ is a community-driven digital fundraising platform to help individuals, communities and small businesses digitally request and receive donations from well-wishers, friends & family in Uganda and in diaspora. The platform allows one to register a campaign and donors can too contribute to it digitally.
To start a fundraising campaign, you go to > https://dolphinfund.org/, register with your particulars, then register for a cause either as individual or as an organization, then set the goal or amount of money you need, what time frame you want it raised in, add reason why you are fundraising, add any relevant media and finally submit for publication.
The Dolphin fund team verifies the request, and if it meets the standard it is then published. Interested donors contribute using mobile money or visa cards and if they want privacy they can contribute anonymously. When the campaign is done, the fundraiser receives their donation after 10 days after the expiry of campaign through mobile money.
