Product Overview
HelpUs is a complete crowdfunding CMS delivered as a ready-to-install PHP script. It gives entrepreneurs, developers, and organizations everything needed to launch a professional crowdfunding or donation website without building from scratch. The script installs in minutes, handles high data volumes, and ships with a clean, developer-friendly codebase that makes customization straightforward.
Whether you’re building a Kickstarter-style reward platform, a GoFundMe-style donation site, or a hybrid model, HelpUs covers both natively. Campaign creators can attach unlimited reward tiers, giving backers clear visibility into what they receive at each contribution level.

Why Choose HelpUs?
Most crowdfunding solutions force you into a hosted SaaS with recurring fees, limited customization, and data lock-in. HelpUs flips that model: you buy once, host yourself, and own the entire stack. The script is purpose-built for crowdfunding — not a generic CMS bent to fit — so core flows like campaign creation, reward fulfillment tracking, backer communication, and payment handling work out of the box. At the same time, the codebase is clean enough that your developers aren’t fighting technical debt when you need custom features.
If you need a crowdfunding website live this month, not this quarter, and you want the freedom to evolve the platform on your terms, HelpUs is the practical choice.
