## Recenzja

La Cagnotte des Proches is a French online cagnotte (group-pot) and solidarity crowdfunding platform founded in 2017 in Aix-en-Provence. It describes itself as the first fundraising platform centred on the patient and their entourage, built to support people whose lives are disrupted by illness, an accident, end-of-life, or bereavement, together with the family, friends, and colleagues rallying around them.

The platform is operated by La Cagnotte des Proches, a French simplified joint-stock company (SAS) registered in Aix-en-Provence (SIREN 821 278 660), and in 2024 it obtained ESUS certification as a recognised social-utility enterprise. Card payments are secured through Stripe, and the service is funded by an optional, adjustable tip proposed to donors and fundraisers before each payment; standard payment-processing fees apply per donation.

Its strength is empathy and focus: rather than being a generic fundraising tool, it specialises in sensitive, solidarity-driven situations and backs organisers with practical help - advice, visuals, videos, and media contacts - alongside partnerships with established charities such as the Ligue contre le cancer, Medecins du Monde, and Unicef. The trade-offs are scope and reach, since it is built around French solidarity collections, operates in euros, and documents card payment via Stripe but not PayPal or transfer. For French families supporting a loved one it fits its purpose closely; for broader project or nonprofit crowdfunding it is intentionally narrow.

The platform reports having hosted tens of thousands of collections and raised millions of euros for its causes. Its primary interface is in French, with an English version available on its app for international donors, and beneficiaries are paid by bank transfer. Personal data is handled in line with GDPR, and the company registered its processing with the French data-protection authority (CNIL).
