What is Crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is a method of raising capital or funding a project by soliciting small contributions to a large number of people, typically via the internet or social media. The idea behind crowdfunding is to bring together a community of individuals who share a common interest in supporting a particular project or cause and are willing to contribute financially to help make it a reality.

There are different types of crowdfunding but the most popular way is donation-based.In donation-based crowdfunding, individuals donate money to a cause or project without expecting anything in return but rather for a main goal or purpose to be fulfilled!
