A simpler way to launch a fundraiser — and a clearer plan to finish strong.
Puzzle Fund helps you create an interactive fundraising campaign your donors can watch fill in piece by piece, with a built-in 7-day sprint to make promotion easier and more effective.
No platform fee — just standard transaction fees.
How Puzzle Fund works
From campaign setup to sharing, the process is designed to stay simple.
Create your campaign
Add a title, image, goal, and a few basic details to get your fundraiser started.
Share your live puzzle page
Each donation helps fill in the puzzle, giving supporters a fun way to see progress as the campaign grows.
Follow the 7-day sprint
Use the built-in sprint kit to share simple posts and messages each day so your campaign stays active and visible.
Why we build campaigns around a 7-day sprint
Most fundraisers do not fail because the cause is weak. They stall because people get busy, momentum fades, and organizers are left wondering what to post next.
A 7-day sprint gives your campaign a clear window, a simple rhythm, and a stronger reason to share now instead of "sometime later." It is focused enough to be manageable and active enough to build energy.
- Easier to manage than a long campaign
- Gives supporters a reason to act now
- Helps organizers know what to do each day
- Keeps the fundraiser active and visible
