Transparent Charity Platform

1. Business Name (Provisional): ClearCause

2. Industry: Charity / Social Impact / FinTech for Good / Nonprofit Technology

3. Problem Statement:
Many individuals and small donors hesitate to contribute to charities due to concerns about transparency, mismanagement, and lack of feedback on where their money goes. At the same time, small grassroots organizations often struggle to gain trust, visibility, and consistent donations.

4. Solution:
ClearCause is a fully transparent, blockchain-enabled donation platform that connects verified nonprofit organizations with individual donors. Every transaction is logged on a public ledger, and donors can track exactly how and where their money is spent.

The platform includes impact reports, updates from the funded organizations, donation history, and real-time status dashboards. It supports various cause categories (education, health, environment, poverty, etc.) and enables micro-donations and recurring giving.

5. Target Audience:

  • Individual donors seeking transparency and impact
  • Diaspora communities wanting to support projects back home
  • Small and mid-sized nonprofit organizations
  • CSR departments and corporate donors
  • Youth-driven fundraising campaigns and student movements

  • Onboard 1,000 verified charities within the first year
  • Reach $1 million in tracked donations within 18 months
