What YouTim Fund actually does
An association's common kitty
Annual dues, project funds: the fund centralizes member contributions. The same YouTim's Budget then tracks the spending.
Amateur sports team equipment
Jerseys, balls, venue rental: the club fund collectively funds the gear.
A group trip's fund
Before departure, everyone pays their share to the trip's treasurer. During the trip, budget tracks actual spending.
A solidarity collection
For a sick neighbor, a struggling family, a local cause: YouTim Fund gathers group contributions without commission eating into the total.
Party, wedding, evening
Organizing costs for a block party or friend wedding: the fund avoids one person fronting for everyone.

Frequently asked questions
Is YouTim Fund free?
Yes, completely free. YouTim takes no commission: it never handles the money.
How does the organizer get the money?
Directly: everyone pays the organizer by bank transfer, in cash or with their payment app. If the organizer has added their Wero, Revolut or PayPal, a button opens their payment link or shows their Wero number. YouTim tracks pledges and payments: everyone can mark “I've paid”, and the admin confirms the amount received and can send a reminder to latecomers.
Can I set a free or fixed amount per participant?
Both: everyone chooses the amount of their contribution, or you set the same amount for everyone. You can also display a target to reach.
How is this different from GoFundMe and similar sites?
Those platforms collect the money on your behalf. YouTim Fund is a tracking tool: zero commission, and payments are made directly between you. Ideal when you already know each other.
Can I run a surprise fund?
Yes, with a dedicated YouTim: all the members of a YouTim see all its services, so create a YouTim without the person the surprise is for. Only its members see the fund.
Can I run several funds in the same group?
Yes, you can add several funds to the same YouTim — for example “Mary's gift” and “Common kitty 2026”.
Commission-free group fund: the real alternative
Platforms like GoFundMe or Leetchi offer useful service but charge fees that can reach 4-5% of the collected amount. For a $500 fund, that's up to $25 not going to the recipient. For a group gift, club kitty or solidarity collection, that hit isn't trivial.
Tracking without hosting funds
YouTim Fund works differently: the platform never touches the money. You use YouTim to centralize pledges and received payments, and money transfers happen directly between members.
Ideal for groups that know each other
Since all contributors are already members of the YouTim (the group's trust circle), there's no scam risk. Perfect for a family, coworkers, friends or association. For public fundraising with strangers, commercial platforms keep their value (security, escrow).
GDPR & EU hosting
Your fund details stay private to the group, hosted in Europe, no data resale.
