About Breadfund

Somebody you know needs money quickly — a hospital bill, a school fee, a roof after a storm. Breadfund is the shortest distance between that and the people who would help if they knew.

You write a few sentences, set an amount and share one link. People give with a card, bank transfer. The money reaches your own bank account, donation by donation, and you keep every naira of it. That is the whole product.

What we hold to

One fee, and a way to avoid it

Breadfund takes 2.7% of a donation — and nothing at all from a donation the donor added a tip to, whatever size the tip. That is the whole of what we charge: no fee to start, no monthly charge, nothing to withdraw your own money. The card companies take their own cut because they have to move the money, and we show every figure before anybody pays.

Money should not sit somewhere waiting

There is no balance to withdraw and no threshold to reach. Each donation goes to your bank account the next working day. The people who need money raised this way usually needed it last week.

Built for where it is used

Naira and cedis, not converted from dollars. Nigerian bank accounts found from ten digits, because that is how account numbers work here. Suggested amounts that read like real money in Lagos or Accra rather than numbers translated from somewhere else.

Plain words, everywhere

No jargon on the buttons, no small print doing the real work, no page that needs a second page to explain it. If a sentence on this site needs a lawyer to read it, it is written wrong.

Every fund is read

A fund is checked the moment it publishes, and anyone can report one afterwards. We take down what breaks the rules. We cannot promise every story is true — nobody can — so we say that plainly instead of pretending otherwise.

Where we work

Funds pay out in Nigeria and Ghana today, in each country's own money. Anybody, anywhere, can give to them. We add a country when payouts are live in it and not before — a country on a list you cannot actually be paid in is worse than a short list.
