Crowdfunding asks the Internet community to donate toward a specific goal.
Platforms like BackaBuddy and GoFundMe make dreams come true one donation at a time. Charities and individuals use these platforms to solicit donations from others (actually online ubuntu).
Do you have a dream or can you help fund someone else's dream?
Here's how a platform like BackaBuddy works.
Crowdfunding: Dreams come true with your support
Crowdfunding is a way to make your dreams come true even if you don't have money.
The funds can be used for anything on earth. Some people may want to buy a piano, while others may need help keeping up with their medical bills.
The Internet is a network of many people who want to help.
Crowdfunding connects donations with people and charities.
Do you have any dreams for the future?
Can you make other people's dreams come true?
That's what it's all about.
Crowdfunding: Examples of dreams coming true
The game “Exploding Kittens” was created through crowdfunding. A Veronica Mars movie is also planned and being funded through Kickstarter.
Funding helped people create songs, movies, and games. If you have a dream, you can get it funded by asking the right people.
What do people want from the Internet?
More than R1.5 million of the R3 million target has been raised to support doctors fighting the coronavirus. Piano 4 Pianist is the highest performing fund in his BackaBuddy, and Jason wants to fund the purchase of a piano.
There are also medical funds like Help Robin Live. This is from Robin Cornelius, who has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS).
If you need anything, you can ask.
Please tell me what you think
Please let us know your opinions about Internet funds, etc. Do you need help paying for something? Do you think the fund will work?
Please send your feedback to info@thesouthafrican.com.
We look forward to hearing from you.
