Milestone map

3 milestones

Set up a public fundraising campaign page for a registered or verifiable charitable cause, set a specific monetary target with a realistic deadline, and receive at least one donation from someone outside your immediate family. The cause must be real and verifiable — not a vague description but a named organisation, project, or community need with a public presence. The target must be stated on the campaign page before fundraising begins. Getting the first donation from a stranger or a non-family contact is the milestone signal: it proves the campaign message can persuade someone who did not already want to give.

Proof required

Submit: (1) the public URL of your campaign page showing the cause name, target amount, and at least one donation received, (2) a one-paragraph description of the cause and why you chose it, and (3) the name or type of organisation the funds will go to (registered charity number, official website, or verifiable community project — not a personal PayPal).

What gets checked

Campaign page URL is public and accessible without login — opens to show the cause, target, and at least one donation received; a private or draft page does not pass
Cause is verifiable — named charity, registered organisation, or documented community project; 'to help people in need' without naming a specific recipient does not pass
At least one donation from outside the immediate family is recorded on the campaign — a page that only shows donations from parents or siblings is not yet a campaign that can persuade strangers
