Fundraising is one of the primary ways charitable organizations meet their operating costs and fund their missions. Fundraising has come a long way since the days of direct mailers, cold calls and door-to-door solicitations. According to the charita- ble giving resource Fund- able, crowdfunding is a method of raising capital through the collective efforts of different individu- als, be it family, customers, friends, or private investors. This method of fundraising taps into a large pool of peo- ple, and funds often come in several small donations rather than a handful of large contributions. Crowdfunding and social media now go hand-in-hand. Individuals tasked with crowdfunding can use social media platforms to quickly and easily increase their exposure. The ability to streamline fundraising efforts is something many people find appealing about crowdfunding. Each of the steps involved in advertis- ing and collecting funds are housed within one online platform. Many people turn to crowdfunding to raise money for medical bills, nonprofits and disaster relief charities. But the opportunities are endless. Typically anywhere between 5 and 10 percent is collected based on the type of campaign. Free platforms are available; individuals just need to do their research and recognize that, while free platforms may not charge fees, they may be gathering email addresses or other personal informa- tion. As crowdfunding be- comes more mainstream, people should realize that newer options continue to pop up. GoFundMe has long been one of the largest and most well-known crowd- funding platforms, but many others are gaining a foothold. Whether the goal is interface customization, low fees, customer service, or producing coordinating merchandise, these other options can be worth inves- tigating. Some lesser known crowdfunding platforms include: • Booster • Fundly • • FundRazr • GiveForward • • Indiegogo • Plumfund • • Pursu.it • StartSomeGood • • YouCaring • Crowdfunding is becom- ing more popular among individuals and businesses and nonprofits.
