What is crowdfunding?

Crowdfunding is an internet-enabled philanthropic process. Crowdfunding aggregates a large number of online donations to allow any individual requiring financial assistance for medical expenses, or a student seeking a scholarship, or any NGO, or an individual to raise funds for any cause. There are no loans or interest to be paid off when it comes to crowdfunding as funds raised online is considered as a donation.

For example: 500 donors contributing Rs 5,000 each can mobilise Rs. 25 lakhs for a cancer surgery or organ transplant in less than 24 hours.
