A Social Experiment in Collective Joy

RAFT

Crowdfunding Through Celebration

Where dance parties become giving circles. We're reimagining community support through the ecstatic experience of celebration and the profound joy of giving.

The Experience

How RAFT Works

A revolutionary approach to community support that transforms the act of giving into a celebration of human connection.

01
Dance Party
A celebratory event is organized. Performers, DJs, and artists come together to create magic.
02
The Ice-Breaker
"What would you do if you were given $2,000?" — A question that opens hearts and sparks connection.
03
Connect & Share
Attendees socialize around hopes, dreams, and needs. Real conversations. Real connections.
04
The Midnight Draw
Around midnight, one name is drawn at random from all ticket holders.
05
The Twist
The winner doesn't receive the money — they receive the gift of GIVING it away.
06
Pure Joy
They choose someone at the event to support. No competition. No judgment. Just ecstatic giving.
Our Philosophy

Why This Works

RAFT reimagines community support by focusing on what truly matters: connection, celebration, and the profound joy of giving.

Giving > Receiving

The Joy of Giving

The winner experiences something far greater than receiving money — the ecstatic, transformative feeling of being able to support someone in their community.

Random & Fair

No Victim Olympics

We recognize how difficult it is to decide who is 'most deserving.' Random selection removes this burden and eliminates competitive dynamics.

Continuous Hope

Always Another Chance

Letting go of 'they didn't deserve it' — the random draw means there's always a future event, another opportunity for everyone.

Fair Compensation

Artists Get Paid

Performers and event producers are compensated through an IRL cryptocurrency developed specifically for community economies.

“The greatest gift isn't receiving $2,000 — it's being able to give it away.”
