Many people are confused about how Invest4Justice operates – are litigants paid funds immediately as they are raised, or are they paid them only at the end of a litigation funding campaign once 100% has been raised? The answer is: both.

Some supporters of cases like to invest or donate immediately, regardless of whether 100% is raised, since they believe in a case regardless of whether 100% is funded. These supporters can click “Pay Now” at checkout, and they can see their funds being sent directly to the litigant.

Other supporters (especially investors) would like to make sure that 100% of the funds are already in place, so that they can be sure that the case really goes forward with adequate litigation funding. These investors can click “Pay Only If 100% Is Raised” at checkout, which means that they do not pay anything, unless 100% of the funds required for a case are raised.

Pay Now uses Paypal to send payments directly to the litigation. Pay Only If 100% Is Raised, however, uses Wepay, which is far more flexible, allowing data for a pledge to be stored in case the litigation funding campaign reaches its goal. If the litigation funding campaign never reaches its goal, the investor who pledged in such a case pays nothing. If the litigation funding campaign reaches its goal, all contingent pledges are sent to the litigant automatically.

By providing both possibilities, Invest4Justice allows for the best of both worlds: security that sufficient funding will be available to pay for everything, as well as the ability to support the case of a friend or family member directly and immediately.
