Keeping Your Campaign On Track

Bucket Funds empowers a wide range of dreamers to bring their bucket list adventures to life. Whether you’re a daring explorer, a passionate chef, an innovative educator, or a record-breaking athlete, we believe your campaign deserves a fair shot. To ensure a successful journey for both you and your backers, we’ve established these core guidelines:

• Campaign Clarity: At its heart, your campaign should have a clear plan for creation and execution. This includes a well-defined goal, a detailed action plan, and a strategy for sharing your experience with the world. Remember,backers want to be a part of your journey, so be prepared to showcase your finished project and celebrate your achievements!

• Transparency is Key: Building trust with your backers is essential. Be upfront and honest about your goals, your plan of action, and the anticipated outcome of your campaign. For complex projects, showcasing your development process can be valuable. Avoid misleading imagery or inflating backer numbers or pledged amounts.

• Campaign Content: We prohibit the use of misleading imagery, such as heavily edited photos, unrealistic renderings, or manipulated videos that misrepresent your campaign experience.

Fundraising Focus:

• Dream, Not Donate: Bucket Funds is a platform for dreamers, not charities. While individuals can launch campaigns to participate in charitable endeavors, your campaign cannot solely focus on raising funds for donation.Funds raised must directly support the project you’ve outlined.
• Invest in Your Vision: Bucket Funds is an investment in your dreams, not an investment opportunity. Avoid offering incentives like equity, revenue sharing, or other investment opportunities to backers.

Prohibited Items and Activities:

• Safety Matters: Campaigns or rewards that are illegal, dangerous, or heavily regulated are strictly prohibited.
• Medical Disclaimer: Promoting medical procedures or claiming to diagnose, cure, or treat medical conditions is not allowed. Documenting your own medical experiences and sharing opinions is acceptable, but promoting specific procedures may impact future campaigns.
• Respectful Community: Hate speech, promoting violence, or any other offensive content is not tolerated.
• Reward Restrictions: Live animals, alcoholic beverages, financial services, travel services, phone services,business marketing services, political campaigns, and pornography are all prohibited reward options.
• Originality Matters: Rewards must be original creations by you or your project team. Reselling existing products without adding value is not permitted.
• Restricted Items: Drugs, weapons, replicas, and weapon accessories are not allowed on the platform.

We reserve the right to review and approve campaigns at our discretion. If we encounter an item we deem inappropriate, even if not explicitly listed, we may cancel or refuse your campaign.
