Fundable lets groups of people pool money to make purchases or raise money. Here's how it works:
![](/web/20070507062743im_/http://www.fundable.org/pledgediagram.png)
One person creates a Fundable page to collect $1000 from a group of people. | Each person in the group enters credit card or PayPal information as a pledge (but does NOT pay money). | Once all pledges add up to $1000, Fundable turns them into real payments. If the collection expires before reaching $1000, Fundable deletes all pledges. |
Fundable sends $1000 to the group leader, who makes sure that everyone receives what was paid for. |
"My experience with Fundable was awesome! It is such a novel and useful way to raise money for a cause.
I would definitely use it again."

"I was so glad that Fundable existed. It
worked very nicely for our purposes. We will probably be doing it again
this Xmas, for related projects. The projects we raised money for can
be seen at: http://www.allhandstoafrica.org/ngunya/"

"My siblings and I set up a Fundable group action to fund an anniversary gift for my parents. We all pitched in enough money for a trip for two to
the Bavarian Inn for a weekend. My parents just recently used the gift
certificate that I purchased using the funds collected and enjoyed a
wonderful time"
