Boost Board is built and run by volunteers

Help keep Boost Board running

We built this as a free resource for the community — no paywalls, and since we never touch or process anyone's donations, there's nothing here to charge a transaction fee on in the first place. We want it to stay that way: open, free, mutual aid in spirit.

Boost Board is built and run by a small team of volunteers with very limited resources of our own. It turns out even a free tool costs something to keep online — hosting, a domain, and the actual time it takes to review every submission by hand.

If you have the means, please consider supporting us. Anything helps.

How you can help

Money is one option, but it's not the only one — and for a lot of people, it's not the most available one. All of these genuinely help:

• Give directly to today's featured campaign. This costs you nothing extra and helps someone right now.
• Signal boost. Share a featured campaign, or Boost Board itself. A share costs nothing and reaches people we can't.
• Submit a campaign you know about that hasn't gotten traction — yours or someone else's, with their okay. Share Your Page.
• Support the app itself, if you're able — covers hosting, moderation time, and keeping this running.

It's not the donation Olympics. Every donor has their own reasons, and we appreciate and respect whatever you're able to do — whether that's signal boosting, donating, or sharing.

Sharing with a hashtag

If you're sharing a featured campaign or the app itself on social media, a few tags that tend to reach people already inclined to help:

#BoostBoard is ours to build over time; the rest already have real, active audiences worth tapping into.

Give directly to the app

This covers hosting, moderation time, and the work of keeping the board running and reviewed every day. It does not go to any featured campaign — if you want to give to someone specific, use the "Donate to today's featured campaign" link on the board instead.

Volunteer & team campaigns

Some of the people who help run Boost Board have their own fundraisers. If you're able, please consider donating here as well.

Get emails from Boost Board

One list: an email whenever a new campaign hits zero donations, plus a weekly Monday roundup of campaigns close to their goal. No other emails, ever.

Where this is headed

We're still shaping the longer-term direction of this project, and we welcome your feedback. You can reach out to us via an issue or contact form.

Right now, our focus is making the core tool work better (reviewing submissions, and making it easeful) and outreach — reaching the people and communities this is meant to help.
