Give the Gift of Mobility

Would someone in your life benefit from the mobility and independence provided by a WHILL Power Chair? With its foldable design, lightweight frame, and smart technology, the WHILL Model F is the perfect travel power chair.

However, we understand that while many people may benefit from owning a WHILL mobility device, not everyone has the means to fund the full purchase themselves. That's where our crowd-funding campaigns come in.

How Does It Work?

Crowd-funding enables families and friends to use their networks to help gift someone a WHILL Model F. The family or friend simply registers a campaign and then shares it via email or social media. They then collect online pledges from people who wish to help. The campaign runs for a set time, and if it reaches its goal, WHILL will use the collected funds to purchase a Model F for the beneficiary.

The family and the supporters won’t incur any costs if the campaign falls short of the goal. All pledges are canceled in that case. However, we will guide families through the entire process to provide the best opportunity for success!

Best of all, setting up a campaign is free. All contributions are paid directly to WHILL and we will cover the payment processing costs, ensuring accountability for the funds and avoiding negative impacts on families’ income tax or social benefits programs.

Why the WHILL Model F?

Featuring exceptional maneuverability and a lightweight, durable, and stable design, the Model F is loaded with features that will make life more convenient and enjoyable for you and your loved ones. Its easy fold system makes it the perfect choice for users who love to travel, allowing it to be easily transported on planes, trains, or in the trunk of a car.

  • Folds in less than 3 seconds
  • Weighs less than 53 lb.
  • 30.7” turning radius
  • 250 lb. weight capacity
  • Up to 3.7 mph, 12.4 mile range

If you feel like a more full-featured power chair may be a better option for your loved one, consider starting a campaign to fund the WHILL Model C2 instead. This chair has impressive power, smart technology, and superior handling.

Getting Started

If you'd like to start a campaign to fund the purchase of a WHILL Model F, click on the blue Fund a WHILL button above. Don't worry if you've never run a crowdfunding campaign before - it's easy! If you have any questions, our team is here to help you through the (short) setup process.

So, what are you waiting for? Get started and give someone the gift of mobility and independence!

Campaigns

FAQ

This campaign is to help a friend or family member fund the purchase of a WHILL Power Chair. They are collecting contributions from people in their network to help achieve this result. If the total contributions reach the goal of purchasing the device, the payments will be safely processed and transferred to the vendor, and the device will be shipped or delivered to them. No one is charged, and no costs are incurred if the goal is not reached. Your contribution will help them achieve their goal and increase their independence!

Frequently asked questions:

  1. When will I be charged?

    When the campaign reaches its goal, your payment will be processed. This usually occurs within a few weeks but can sometimes happen right away if the campaign moves very quickly.

  2. Do I get a tax receipt for my contribution?

    As this is a purchase of a product on behalf of someone, it does not qualify for a tax receipt.

  3. Who pays the costs of this campaign?

    The campaign platform is provided for free. The payment processing fees for this campaign are being covered by WHILL. As part of the checkout process, you will be asked to top off your contribution to help cover CoCoPay's costs of providing this free service which includes coaching the campaign team on effective crowdfunding techniques.

  4. How long will the campaign run?

    Campaigns run until they hit their funding goal. If it appears the goal won’t be reached, the campaign owner can stop it at any time, and no contributions will be processed. By making your risk-free contribution right away, you can inspire others also to chip in and help out.

  5. Does the money go to the campaign owner or the company?

    The funds are collected on behalf of the campaign owner or the beneficiary they have nominated i.e., their friend or family member, and paid to the company on their behalf only when the total funds required have been collected. This removes any risk of the campaign only partially reaching its goal or the funds being accidentally misallocated.
