Top 20 Crowdfunding Sites – Crowdrise – 8/20

Crowdrise

Headquarters – Detroit, Michigan, U.S.

Founded May 19, 2010

Like Razoo, Crowdrise is geared more toward helping “real world issues,” rather than funding for-profit ventures. I saw projects for Haiti, including a boy who wanted to donate solar technology to Haiti for his bar mitzvah, and for January’s Women’s March on Washington. But you can also use it to fund birthday parties, weddings, and even college scholarships.

CrowdRise is a for profit crowdfunding platform that uses crowdsourcing to raise charitable donations. CrowdRise was founded by Edward Norton, Shauna Robertson, and the founders of Moosejaw, Robert and Jeffrey Wolfe

CrowdRise is the world’s largest and fastest – growing fundraising platform dedicated exclusively to charitable giving. CrowdRise is used by millions of individuals to raise money for their favorite charities and causes.
