01. The "Finding My Side Through Funding" campaign is
Finding My Side Through Funding is a campaign to start my own challenge in Wadiz and help me meet 'my side' who will support it. From simple hobbies that want to show off their knitting skills to sparkling ideas of teenagers who want to change society, everyone lives with at least one "thing they want to do" in their minds. But we always put those minds behind the words 'some day'. Wadiz started this campaign to change that 'one day' to 'now'. I can start the challenge that I hesitated because I'm alone if there's only one person who trusts me. Meet 'my side' who will be rooting for your start in Wadiz now.

What is sponsorship and fandom funding
Sponsor and fandom funding is a project that collects 'people's empathy and support' rather than selling products. You can start projects ranging from individual challenges to creative activities, social contribution, and community management.

| Stage | content |
| STEP 1. Creating a Story | Please introduce me to who I am, why I do this funding, and what changes I want to make to the world. |
| STEP 2. Getting ready | Prepare a reward and detailed page (story), imagining the "supporter" you'd like to meet. |
| STEP 3. Open it | Open the funding and meet my side to support me. |
05. A must-see FAQ before participating in the campaign
Q. Can individuals also fund from Wadiz?
A. It's possible. Anyone can start if "people have a reason to participate," and in fact, various funding is being opened in Wadiz, including movies, performances, classes, communities, social contributions, travel, and pet birthday parties.
Q. Do only celebrities, influencer, or people with fandom succeed in funding?
A. No, it's not. Rather than having many fans from the beginning, makers with stories and sincerity that supporters can sympathize with can receive enough attention and succeed.
Q. Do I have to pay for the platform even if I don't meet the funding target amount?
A. No, it's not. If you don't achieve your goal, the payment won't proceed and the maker won't charge you extra, so you can try it without any burden.
Q. Is there any funding to open without products or services?
A. Yes, sponsorship and fandom categories (sponsors, campaigns, communities, and artists) are supported by challenges, goals, and activities, so you don't have to have goods or services. Instead, rewards should be designed in the form of a token of support and participation, such as thank-you messages and result reports. Currently, there is also a "Finding My Side through Funding" campaign (~2026.12.31) that supports 90% of platform usage fees when individuals open sponsorship and fandom projects, so meet "My Side" to support me with commission benefits.
Q. Is it only possible to get a completely new original reward?
A. You don't have to do that. The important thing is not new, but "a composition that is only possible in Wadiz," so there are enough ways to be already familiar, such as solo pre-release, limited package, and release of the production process.
Q. How do I solve the initial production cost or sample cost?
A. Wadiz has a 'pre-payment service'. This allows you to secure some of the amount first before shipping rewards, putting it to good use as an initial production cost.
It's time to start the challenge
If there's a challenge you've put off thinking you should try it someday, start with the Find My Side campaign now. Any type of challenge is good, whether it's being a fanatic, dexterous, or an idea to solve social problems. The moment I have my side to sympathize with the reason for the challenge, what I only thought about becomes a reality. With Wadiz 'Finding My Side With Funding', the first step will be much lighter.
