What does the Funded badge mean?
The green Funded badge is your signal that a campaign's money is real and already deposited.
A campaign shows the Funded badge once its full budget is deposited with Shoot. Those funds are held until creators' approved work clears, so you know the budget is in place before you spend time posting.
Discover surfaces funded, live campaigns first — so the campaigns you browse are ready to pay.
