Questions, answered plainly

No. Pushpa is a community investment fund, and you join it as a member rather than give to it as a donor. Members vote on which projects the fund backs, and every release of money is logged in a public ledger you can read.

The Bangladesh Fund is live and backing projects now. The Pakistan Fund is in its pre-launch state and opens once its first projects are ready. Both run on the same checks, the same vote and the same ledger. What tells them apart is the communities and the work, not the way they are governed.

Your contribution joins a pooled fund. Members vote on which of the checked projects it backs, and money is released to partners in stages against agreed milestones. Receipts and photographs are required at each release, and each release is logged in the public ledger.

Monthly contributions run from £5 to £200. For anything above £200, drop us an email at hi@pushpafund.com.

Yes. A one off contribution goes into the same pooled fund and through the same checks. Voting is what membership adds, so a one off does not carry a vote.

In the public ledger. It shows what came in, what went out and which project received it, in the currency it moved in.

Community-led economic development. Livelihoods, skills and infrastructure that keep paying off after the funding stops, run by people already doing the work where they live.

Every partner is checked before anything is committed. Registration, governance and track record are verified, budgets are read line by line, and bank details and signatories are confirmed. Wherever we can, someone visits in person to see that the work is real.

Projects are nominated by members and local partners rather than chosen in a boardroom. The ones that clear the checks go to the community, and members vote on which are funded. Voting opens every two months.

We publish what happened. What was built, what it cost against the budget, and what changed for the people involved, including the parts that fell short. The final release and its receipts stay in the ledger.

Anyone. Plenty of Pushpa People have roots in Bangladesh or Pakistan, and plenty do not. What matters is wanting a say in where the money goes.

Choose a fund, choose a monthly amount, and set it up in a couple of minutes. Your vote starts with your first month.

Monthly contributions run from £5 to £200. For anything above £200, drop us an email at hi@pushpafund.com.

Yes. You can change or cancel your membership from your member dashboard. There is no notice period and no retention call.
