# Welcome to Causfy

> How to create a cause, collect signatures or raise funds, and run it all from your dashboard.

With Causfy you stand up for something you care about in two ways: **collecting signatures** to ask for a change, or **raising funds** to make it happen.

You create the cause from your dashboard. Once the team approves it, it appears on the public portal and anyone can find it, sign it or donate.

<Info>
  Donation money goes to your account or to the cause's bank account. Causfy does not hold on to it.

## The two kinds of cause

When you create a cause you pick **a single goal**, and that decision shapes everything else.

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Collect signatures" icon="pen-line">
    You ask someone specific for a change: a city council, a ministry, a company. Everyone who backs you signs, and that signature is recorded with a certificate.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Raise funds" icon="hand-coins">
    You need money for something specific. You set an amount and a date, and people donate by card or by transfer.
  </Card>
</Columns>

<Warning>
  **Creating fundraising causes is on hold.** Today you can only create signature causes: the other option shows on screen marked **Coming soon** and cannot be selected. Fundraising causes that are already published keep receiving donations.
</Warning>

<Note>
  A cause cannot chase both things at once. If you need signatures and money, create two causes and link them to each other from the story of each one.
</Note>
