Birthday funds
Collect your birthday money in one link
Instead of sending your Cash App handle to twenty people, share one page. Friends and family chip in, and you receive 100% of every gift.
How it works
- 1
Create your fund
Add a title and an optional story or photo. Save your draft, then continue setup. A saved draft cannot receive gifts.
- 2
Verify once with Stripe
A standard identity check so the money can reach your bank. Birthday Hunter never sees your ID or bank details.
- 3
Submit for review
Finish setup and submit your fund. We email you when it is ready to share.
- 4
Share one link
Send it to family, post it, drop it in the group chat. Anyone can give, no account needed.
$0
comes out of your raise
You keep 100% of every gift. A $50 gift adds $50 to your fund.
Questions
Does Birthday Hunter give me birthday money?
Your gifts come from friends and family who use your fund link. Birthday Hunter provides your page and payment tools. Creating a fund does not automatically earn money.
How much of my birthday money do I actually keep?
You keep 100% of every gift. A $50 gift adds $50 to your fund.
Does my friend need a Birthday Hunter account to give?
No. They open the link, choose an amount, and pay by card. Creating a fund needs an account; giving to one does not.
How is this different from just sending my Cash App handle?
A fund is a real page: it shows what you are raising for, tracks the total, lists who chipped in, and can be shared and reshared as one link. A payment handle is just a destination. It carries no context and nothing to share.
When do I get the money?
You can transfer your gifts to your connected bank account once your available balance reaches $50.
Is a birthday fund tax deductible?
No. These are personal gifts between people, not charitable donations. If you collect enough in a year you may receive a 1099-K, which reports the gross amount donors paid rather than what you received.
Is it free to create a fund?
Saving a draft is free. A one-time setup charge is shown before you pay and submit for review.
