Passes Charity and Crowdfunding: Support Causes You Love

Passes has launched a new feature that lets creators contribute to charitable causes or crowdfund personal projects directly through the platform. Whether you want to support a nonprofit you care about or bring fans into your next big idea, this feature makes it simple to put your influence to work for something bigger than content.

The Story Behind the Feature

This feature is personal.

In 2020, the COVID crisis and BLM protests sparked a desire to build something that made giving back easier and more accessible. That idea led to the launch of CampaignWith, a platform that merged charity, crowdfunding, and technology to put the power of giving directly in the hands of people. CampaignWith raised six figures in a short period of time.

Fast forward to 2025. The LA fires in January brought communities together in a way that was difficult and beautiful at the same time. Creators on Passes reached out asking how they could support fire relief efforts and use their platforms for future charitable causes.

You asked. We built it.
