HOW IT WORKS

BabyNamy is a crowdfunding platform that provides a unique way for mothers to get the financial support they need while also allowing sponsors to participate by choosing a name from the list or adding a new name if it's not listed.

After giving birth to a baby, the mother announces the name she has chosen for her baby. If the mother decided to share a percentage with a non-profit, that amount is deducted first.

This example campaign shows how selecting a name in 1st, 3rd or 5th place changes the amounts, with 10% going to a non-profit.

This is an example of a first and middle-name campaign. It’s just like a single-name campaign, but in a two-name campaign, both are added together. A two-name campaign requires donations for both names.

The mother can preview the name selection at any time during the campaign. At the bottom of each name group is a sub-total, with the final totals shown.

Note that there are no campaigns for last names.



The following example shows how funds are calculated for each name. Based on what’s selected, all the funds at or below that name are for the new mom. 
Meanwhile, funds above the chosen name will be directed towards the non-profit organization of their choice. For instance, if Bobby is selected, only the first $500 from each of the other names will go towards the mom. However, if the amount for a name is under $500, such as $200 for Edward, the total amount will be applied toward the mom.

The above chart shows an example of how much the mother would get at 0% of incoming donations going to a Non-Profit Organization  (NPO) as her default.


If 10% was chosen for the NPO, then those values change:

1st place Alex = $2,880. $320 for NPO.  (10% + $0 difference)

3rd place Howard = $2,480. $680 for NPO. (10% + $400 difference)

4th place Bobby = $1,880. $1,320 for NPO. (10% + $1000 difference)

No matter the selected name, the donated funds ONLY go to the mother and Non-Profits!

 
The mother-to-be can see how her funds will change depending on the name at any time.
