Crowdfunding Day
June 7 · Level 9 · #350 of 2238
Crowdfunding Day celebrates what happens when many people give an idea a little financial help. It brings together creators and the communities backing their books, games, films, inventions and social projects.
How it is celebrated: creators and crowdfunding platforms share campaign stories, thank supporters and introduce projects seeking backing. Contributors can also catch up on the progress of something they helped bring to life.
The approach is much older than the internet. A newspaper fundraising campaign helped pay for the Statue of Liberty's pedestal in New York—small contributions were already doing big things.
