Crowd funding


Have you ever had a great idea but ended up dropping it because you didn't have enough money to make it come true ? Well, your days of lazyness are now over.

Crowd funding is a way to gather money to achieve your dreams. It relies on donations from people around the world : all you have to do is write a small post explaining your goal and why you think this is important and then specify the amount of money needed. If people share your opinion or support you they will make a donation.

People use crowd funding for versatile reasons. Some people want to shoot a movie or start touring with their band, others need money in order to pay expansive medical bills, etc. NGOs use crowd funding to financiate their help campaign in third world countries as well.

If you take a look at the different crowd funding websites ( for ex http://crowdfunding.com/ ), you'll propably be amazed at how many projects you can find and support there.

So if you feel like helping someone in need one day, be sure to check those websites as they might provide you with specific projects you are interested in and that you would like to see come true.
