If a project doesn’t achieve at least 80% of his objective at the end of the duration of the collect, your donation goes back to your electronic wallet. You can take it back to your account or transfer it easily to an other project.
You can cancel your donation before the end of the collect if the project didn’t achieve 80% yet.
Of course ! While the project didn’t achieve 80% of his collect you can take back your donation and transfer it to another project.
You can support a project because who want to benefit from it (example : urban park, music festival, events… ) or want to make it happen because of its social impact (example : solidarity actions, educative, innovative, social … )
