Confirming Participation

What do I have to do to confirm my participation in the funding round?

Congratulations! If your project was accepted into a funding round, the next step is to secure your spot and set yourself up for a successful campaign.

Follow these steps to be sure not to miss anything:

1. Confirm your participation by the deadline

You'll receive an email notification when your project is accepted. Follow the link in that email to confirm your participation before the deadline stated.

You cannot confirm your participation after this deadline.

• Not sure about deadlines? See the round timeline here.
• Haven't received an email about your application? Check your spam folder.
• For a full overview of how funding rounds works, visit About Funding Rounds.

2. Check if you need a host partner

If your project is not associated with a registered nonprofit in a Stripe-supported country, you will need a host partner in order to participate in a funding round.

A host partner is an established organization that receives and disburses funds on your behalf. If this applies to you, arrange your host partner arrangement before the round opens — this is required to receive funds.

3. Finalize and publish your organization and project profiles

Make sure your Organization Profile and Project Profile are complete and accurate before the round goes live. If you have not done so already, you will automatically publish these profiles when you confirm your participation.

Your profiles are your connection point to the world, and especially donors. A strong profile can significantly impact how much community support you receive.

4. Prepare your campaign

Once you have confirmed your participation, and even before the round opens, you can start reaching out to your community. Ma Earth's collective funding model distributes more funds to the projects with more individual supporters, so outreach really matters.

5. Know what happens after the round closes

Once the round ends, matching funds are calculated and distributed. Project work begins within the following year. We encourage you to share regular Project Updates with your supporters as the work progresses.
