Crowdfunding: what is it?
Crowd funding, sometimes referred to as crowd sourcing, is an online phenomenon that began around 2007. These websites propose that many small donations really do add up to successful amounts for charities. The concept is based on age-old models of cooperative funding like the Irish Loan Fund from the 1700s, which provided micro loans to poverty stricken rural families and has evolved into popular micro lending models such as those developed by Dr. Mohammad Yunus, which providing much needed capital to small businesses in India.
Nonprofits and businesses are now utilizing the internet to achieve similar goals to help small businesses with startup capital and, more recently, have shifted to provide online platforms for nonprofit organizations to achieve fundraising goals for specific projects. Current examples of successful website platforms for business or nonprofit fundraising include Kickstarter.com, CrowdRise.com, Fundly.com, Razoo.com, Give2gether.com, GiveZooks.com and Rally.com.
