Why QF?

Many donations win

Pools together small donations from many people and matches them with a larger amount of funding from a central fund.

Multiplied by real people

Uses a unique mathematical formula that rewards based on the number of people who have donated, not only donation size.

How QF works

Imagine that we have $10,000 we want to distribute, and we want a community to determine who should receive the funding

Let’s say three projects participate in a funding round...

Project A received $1,000 in total from 2 contributors ($500 each).
Project B received $1,000 in total from 5 contributors ($200 each).
Project C received $1,000 in total from 20 contributors ($50 each).

The final distribution of funds is calculated by using the quadratic funding formula, where the number of contributions matters more than the amount contributed.

Project A receives $740.74, +74% on top of the contributed amount
Project B receives $1851.85, +185% on top of the contributed amount
Project C Project C receives $7407.41 of matched funding, +740% on top of the contributed amount

Put simply,

The broader the support, the bigger the match!

The bigger the match!
