What is Crowdfunding?
“Crowdfunding” as a term is the combination of the words “crowdsource” and “funding.” Put simply, it is the act of raising capital through multiple individual contributions.
What makes crowdfunding different?
Unlike other traditional funding sources, crowdfunding campaigns allow creators to accept funding from potentially unaccredited individuals without allowing contributors control over company decisions, and without having to repay interest on a loan.

How Does Crowdfunding Work?
Crowdfunding works by collecting multiple individual contributions from the “crowd” — a public collection of contributors that can be reached via crowdfunding platforms, social media, or other sources. There are several online crowdfunding platforms and funding portals available to support fundraising efforts.
Why Use Crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is not for everyone, but if you think your project will appeal to the public and you are willing to engage with the community, it is very easy to get attention on social media and attract brand ambassadors and contributors to your fundraising effort. There are risks and benefits associated with crowdfunding.
