For Mutual Aid Groups

Collective support. Structured clearly.

Organizers recruit members as fundraisers. Each gets their own month calendar to share with their network. Donors claim a day and give the matching amount — or more, and can cover fees. Community members share the responsibility.

The sustainability challenge

Mutual aid runs on commitment. Commitment is hard to sustain without structure.

Requests come in faster than contributions. Funding is inconsistent. Organizer burnout is real — and often invisible until it's too late. One-time fundraisers spike and fade.

MonthFund gives your network a repeatable model for sustaining community resources. Not a campaign to run once. A structure to run every month.

The model

Shared funding. Shared responsibility.

01

Set the campaign and recruit fundraisers

Your network picks a month and sets a goal tied to current priorities — emergency fund, supply resources, direct cash assistance. Recruit members as fundraisers; each gets their own calendar.

02

Fundraisers share; donors claim days

Each member shares their calendar with their network. Donors claim a day and give the matching amount — or more, and can cover fees. Small amounts. Distributed responsibility. Accessible to everyone.

03

Resources fill

When every day is claimed and fulfilled, your fund receives consistent, community-sourced support. Same structure next month. No rebuild required.

Consistent, predictable resources

Small contributions. Structural reliability.

Full 31-day campaign$496

The structural output of a fully claimed month — based on the model, not projected performance.

Monthly for a year~$5,952

Twelve campaigns per year. Sourced entirely from within the community. A base of consistent support that compounds over time.

The design intentMany + small

Mutual aid isn't about large donors. It's about many people contributing what they can. The model reflects that — low floors, wide participation.

MonthFund provides structure. Outcomes depend on participation. The model makes them calculable — not guaranteed.

Designed for community-run networks

Low barrier. Transparent. Built to repeat.

No institution required

MonthFund doesn't require your group to be incorporated or formally structured. Free and Organization plans support informal community networks.

Low barrier to participation

No account required to claim a day. One link, one click. Accessible to community members with minimal tech experience.

Transparent progress

The calendar shows every member exactly how the campaign is tracking. Transparency is foundational to mutual aid — MonthFund reflects that structurally.

Runs every month

Consistent monthly campaigns create a sustainable funding rhythm. Your network knows when to expect the campaign and exactly how to participate.

Why it works

Many hands. Clear structure.

Distributed responsibility

No single person carries the fundraising. The model spreads the work across every community member who claims a day — preventing the burnout that sinks most mutual aid funding.

Accessible to every income level

Day 3 raises $3. Day 8 raises $8. Designed for communities where financial capacity varies. Participation doesn't require capacity — only commitment.

Community-owned by design

The calendar belongs to the community. Every day claimed is an act of commitment, not just a transaction. The structure makes that visible to everyone.

FAQ

Questions from mutual aid organizers

Do we need to be a registered nonprofit to use MonthFund?

No. MonthFund is available to informal groups and unincorporated networks. Payment processing requirements may vary based on your chosen payment processor.

Can we run a campaign for a specific community need?

Yes. Set the campaign context to reflect your current priority — emergency fund, supply drive, direct cash assistance, rent support. The model is flexible to your purpose.

What if community members have limited financial capacity?

The calendar model scales to any community. Lower-date days require very small contributions. Day 1 raises $1. You set the context — the community determines participation at their level.

Is MonthFund an established platform?

MonthFund is launching in 2026. Built on a structured model designed to sustain itself month after month. We're committed to supporting early communities through every step.
