How it works

From joining to your milestone payout.

Boga uses a dual funding model: 80% of every membership dollar goes to the non-profit grant pool, and donors can crowdfund specific grant programs.

Step 1

Join the community

Sign up free or pick a paid tier. 80% of every membership dollar deposits into the non-profit grant pool every month.

Step 2

Apply or contribute

Founders apply to open programs with a multi-step form that auto-saves. Donors contribute to crowdfunded funds with a public goal.

Step 3

Earn milestones, get paid

Approved grants are paid out as you complete milestones. Each milestone is reviewed by Boga staff and logged in an append-only audit trail.

For applicants

  • 1. Pick a tier and finish onboarding (5 minutes).
  • 2. Browse open grants and start an application (draft auto-saves).
  • 3. We review every application ourselves — no algorithm gates.
  • 4. On approval, complete KYC, sign the Grant Agreement, file a W-9.
  • 5. Earn milestones; each milestone unlocks a payout tranche.

For donors

  • 1. Browse open grant funds and pick a cause.
  • 2. Contribute any amount above $5, one-time or monthly.
  • 3. Watch the fund hit its goal — that opens the grant program.
  • 4. Get notified when a grant is awarded from your fund.
  • 5. Download tax receipts annually.
