Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is……
Raising small amounts from many contributors
Using the internet & social media
Often offering a reward or incentive
A fast growing alternative to traditional funding
Projects are more varied (cultural, political, charity, etc.)
Many raise relatively small amounts for short-term or
one-off projects (such as an event)
Investors may be directly connected and involved
Lending is less costly and returns are higher
Contrast to Traditional Fundraising
