You as a Supporter: Donate quick, safe and easy
Supporters donate to projects, charities or their fundraising friends.
You can transfer your donation directly through your bank. Or, quite cool: upload money to your personal wallet. This wallet gives you the possibility to easily donate to (different) charity projects over time.
A good thing: your entire donation goes to the charity or charity project of your choice. Through reports, videos and photos you can see the change you made possible. And you can share it with your friends on Facebook.
As JFK said: ‘If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich’. So go hit the green donate button and change the world.
You as a Fundraiser: Fundraise money for your cause
Fundraisers invite others to donate money to the charity they support.
It is easy to become a fundraiser. Create a page in less than a minute. Make it yours with a story, photos, and video. And set your fundraising target.
Choose the project or charity you want to fundraise for. Use our tools to share your page with your friends, by email or our Facebook share/like buttons.
You will be cheered by your friends. And if you post a nice blog, watch as the donations start rolling in.

You as a Fieldworker: Give updates from ‘the ground’
Fieldworkers are the ones that give updates about how the charity is doing. They report how it is to work on location.
Through the eyes of a fieldworker, we experience how great or difficult it is to work on the ground. Via their news articles, notes, video’s and pictures we can learn and share what it is all about ‘working for a better world’.
You can follow Fieldworkers by donating to their charity, or by simply pressing the button ‘Follow’.

You as a Reporter: Report what isreally going on
As a Reporter you add all kinds of news, updates and information on the map.
Actually you can contribute to the biggest crowdsource project ever: creating the biggest database on earth with information on rare species or unique nature areas like barrier reefs. Reporters are the ones that inform us when things go wrong. This can be illegal lumber jacking in rainforests, oil pollution on beaches or injustice to people.
A report can be the first process of action. Others can take over by starting a group and getting the news out there. Up following others can connect charity organizations with a project. And then the fundraisers can start to get the money if needed.
‘My job is to get to the heart of a story, to find out what's really going on; to get it verified and, then, to get it out to as many people as possible as fast as possible’. - Reporter Kate Adie
You as a Team Captain: Work together in a Team
A Team Captain starts and leads a team of people with the same goal.
Working in teams can be a powerful tool to reach results.
Teams consists of people that share the same passion for a certain cause or charity.
Via the Pifworld teams application, you can notify others about news or the progress you make. Teams can be about fundraising. But also about community building, campaigning, blogging, design, events. Or a team with company ambassadors.
Everyone in a team can have a different role. Besides shared passion, diversity is important, as everyone can bring in their specific skills or network. So if you’re a student, a professional, a mother of four or all of the above: anyone is welcome to come and contribute and change the world together.
