Create & share
Families register and share their personalized fundraiser pages with supporters through email, text, and social media.
Supporters give
Friends, relatives, and community members make donations online. No products or purchasing decisions are involved.

Good to know
Simple answers, no surprises.
Do families have to sell anything?
No. Buddy's Give accepts donations only. There's no product catalog, shopping cart, or student merchandise selling.
Who supplies the student rewards?
Your school or group chooses, purchases if necessary, and distributes its own rewards. Make A Buddy provides the tracking and redemption tools.
Can we add rewards later?
Yes. Organizers can add rewards to their campaign as needed, using school-defined Buddy Coin amounts.
What does Make A Buddy’s 15% cover?
It covers the fundraising platform, sharing tools, personalized pages, Buddy Coin and reward tracking, reports, maintenance, and campaign support. There is no separate platform subscription for Give. Applicable payment-processing or messaging charges, if any, are addressed in your agreement.
Is there an in-person Buddy Build?
No on-site event is required or included with Give. For a build experience, explore Buddy Builds or Buddy's Palooza.
Raise more. Sell nothing.
