# Donating to Support a Project or Cause

There are many innovative projects solving real-time problems in the crypto space. Not every one of them is lucky enough to be backed by YC or a16z Crypto.

As a result, many projects are entirely bootstrapped by the core team or the solo founder. There are cases where such innovative projects collapsed due to lack of funding.

In addition, a lot is going on around the world and the crypto community is always responsive to rally round and sum up grants on-chain.

@pay perfectly addresses these two use cases above.

Users can easily support a project they believe in and also donate towards a cause they are rooting for.
