Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is a technique for raising money for a project, company, or cause by receiving little contributions from lots of people, usually through internet platforms. It makes it possible for business owners, artists, or nonprofit organizations to obtain cash without having to rely on conventional funding sources like banks or investors.

Depending on the level of support received, crowdfunding projects may provide incentives or rewards to donors.
