A decentralised web application for financing a community or a social cause by group of people using blockchain and ethereum technology involving no third parties. It involves no third parties and anyone can raise funds as well as donate to a particular Fund through a secure peer to per network on the ethereum blockchain. The application uses concepts of ethereum blockchain using solidity contracts and a react based frontend. A request can be made by the owner of an campaign to transfer funds which has to be approved by majority of Donors .This allows the correct use of their funds.
Community funding has become an extremely useful alternative to venture capital, and has also allowed non-traditional projects, such as those started by in-need families or hopeful creatives, a new audience to pitch their cause. However, a greater concern is the fraud commited by the dealers and traders who can access the funds of the donors without any check. Blockchain technology, among all its benefits, can be best put to use by providing provable milestones as contingencies for giving, with smart contracts releasing funds only once when milestones establish that the money is being used the way that it is said to be.
