Where JoyBoost support goes

JoyBoost support goes to JoyFund, and JoyFund allocates those funds to donor campaigns that need momentum. This helps more campaigns get a fair chance to move forward.

1) You JoyBoost

Your monthly support goes into the JoyBoost allocation pool managed by JoyFund.

2) JoyFund allocates

We distribute JoyBoost funds to active donor campaigns based on need, safety, and fairness.

3) Campaigns receive support

Allocations appear as support to those campaigns, helping them reach their goals faster.

4) Transparent by design

We reflect allocations across the campaigns they support so people can understand the impact.

Quick clarity: JoyBoost is not a personal “send-to-one-person” feature. It is a community-backed program where JoyFund allocates support to donor campaigns. We prioritize fairness, safety, and mission alignment in every distribution.
