Why teams use Milaap

Insurance covers a lot. Not always enough.

Corporate group policies often cover ₹5–10L. Some major treatments go beyond that. When they do, a fundraiser lets colleagues step in — on their own terms.

ConditionInsurance CoverTypical CostGap
Kidney Transplant₹5–10L₹20–25LCan exceed ₹10–15L
Cancer Treatment₹5–10L₹12–20LCan exceed ₹2–10L
Bone Marrow Transplant₹5–10L₹25–35LCan exceed ₹15–25L

* Treatment costs vary by hospital, city, and case. These are indicative ranges.

Tips for a successful campaign

Fundraisers that follow these steps consistently raise more — and reach their goal faster.

1
Add a real photo
Fundraisers with a photo of the patient raise significantly more. A genuine image builds trust and makes the cause feel personal to donors.
2
Write from the heart
Mention who this person is — their role, their family, what makes them valued. Tell the human story, not just the medical condition.
3
Share in the first 48 hours
More than 60% of donations come in the first two days. Share on email, Slack, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn simultaneously for maximum early momentum.
4
Set a specific, realistic goal
Be clear about what the target covers — surgery cost, post-operative care, medication. Specific goals feel credible and motivate donors to help close the gap.
5
Post regular updates
Even a short update — "We've raised ₹3L so far, thank you!" — keeps donors engaged and encourages them to share with their own networks.
6
Ask your network to share, not just donate
A fundraiser shared by 10 people reaches 10x the audience. Encourage colleagues to forward the link — sharing costs nothing and multiplies reach instantly.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start a fundraiser for a colleague.

Milaap is India's largest crowdfunding platform, founded in 2010. It helps individuals, families, and teams raise funds for medical emergencies, education, and social causes. Trusted by 2,800+ organisations, Milaap has enabled thousands of employees to receive support from their colleagues and communities when it mattered most.
Milaap charges 0% platform fees on medical fundraisers. Only standard payment gateway charges apply (typically 2–3% of the donated amount), with a voluntary tipping model for donors. This means your colleague receives the maximum possible amount from every contribution.
Starting a fundraiser takes about 5 minutes. You will need the patient's name, details of the medical condition, the target amount, and a photo. Once submitted, Milaap's team reviews and publishes the fundraiser — usually within a few hours. A dedicated fundraising manager is assigned to guide you through the process.
The fundraiser creator or beneficiary can request a withdrawal at any time by submitting the required medical documents — hospital bills, doctor's prescription, and admission records. Funds are transferred directly to the beneficiary's bank account with no delays. There is no minimum amount required to initiate a withdrawal.
Fundraisers that are actively shared typically receive 60%+ of donations in the first 48 hours. With consistent updates and sharing across email, WhatsApp, Slack, and LinkedIn, most medical fundraisers reach their goal within 7–10 days. Milaap's dedicated manager will share a customised sharing strategy to maximise reach.
Yes. Milaap supports fundraisers for a wide range of medical conditions including cancer treatment, kidney and liver transplants, heart surgery, bone marrow transplants, accident recovery, rare diseases, and more. If you are unsure whether your colleague's condition qualifies, Milaap's team will help you assess and set up the fundraiser.
All funds raised are transferred to the beneficiary regardless of whether the full goal is reached — there is no all-or-nothing model. Every rupee donated goes directly to your colleague. You can also extend the fundraiser or revise the goal at any time.
Milaap verifies all medical fundraisers before publishing. Medical documents are reviewed by the team. Donors can see the patient's story, treatment details, fund usage updates, and withdrawal history on the fundraiser page. This transparency builds trust and encourages more contributions from the broader network.
You have full control over what information is shared on the fundraiser page. While the fundraiser is publicly visible to reach more donors, sensitive details can be kept private. Milaap's fundraising manager will guide you on exactly what to include to balance privacy with effectiveness.
Yes. Milaap supports both domestic and international donations. Colleagues based abroad can contribute via international debit/credit cards. This is especially useful when sharing the fundraiser with ex-colleagues or team members who have relocated overseas.
