Crowdera is a crowdfunding platform that supports individuals and non profit organizations in their efforts to create a social impact. Organizations start their fundraising campaigns on Crowdera and supporters rally to fund those campaigns.
Crowdera intents to complement organization’s existing fundraising and volunteering activities by offering a user-friendly platform to create visually compelling and viral fundraising campaigns that raise awareness and funding for an organization’s goals and missions.
Crowdfunding is a popular way to fund projects from a large group of people, mainly via the Internet and social media. It helps individuals and organizations reach their financial goals by receiving and leveraging small contributions from many people.
All you need is a mission to do something good, a funding goal and timeframe, some cool perks to promise to your supporters and show gratitude, and a crowd of family, friends, and fans / followers / customers to promote your campaign to.
Crowdfunding is for people or organizations who have few direct means to fund their initiatives that benefit the community or amplify their goals. Crowdera aims to bridge this gap and help organizations reach out to an even wider audience so as to gain support for their mission. By crowdfunding online with Crowdera, organizations can connect to people around the world who share a passion for their cause.
Your funders will consist of your existing supporters, volunteers, friends, family, fans and extended circle of friends on social network, or just call them all collectively ‘crowd’ who like your work and believe in your cause or mission.
People contribute towards campaigns they relate to or if they connect with a cause. They are passionate about what you are doing for the community and society at large. Contributing is their way of showing support for your campaign and organization. So be ready to feel the love!
