Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. Every week, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.
A new form of commerce and patronage.
This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.
All or nothing funding.
On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.
Each and every project is the independent creation of someone like you.
Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They’re inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse. We hope you agree... Welcome to Kickstarter!
Thanks! All done.
yay congrats!!!
4 days to go! We gotta get you funded - how are there not more people backing this project? You're going half-way around the world to take-care of under-privileged children... I would think anyone would want to support that. I'll keep twittering!
you might want to re-think paying an organisation to volunteer.... i did this in Sth Africa and it was very disappointing.... for most of us on this particular project.
i'm not saying this applies to all these kind of organisations/businesses...but there are less expensive ways to help. Try Project Thailand @ http://www.projectthailand.us/ . Speak to Dara Sutthisuwan. Good luck.
