In recent years, crowdfunding has grown in popularity due to the emergence of many crowdfunding platforms. Crowdfunding is a simple way for people to help out their community and raise money for a cause they support.

For example, with Tribute Crowdfunding, families can set up a campaign to raise money for their funeral expenses. Their friends and families can make direct donations right on your Frazer-powered website.

Though crowdfunding is quite popular for funeral expenses, it can also be used for other causes. Below are some heartwarming stories of communities coming together to help people in need reach their crowdfunding goals.

She decided to start a crowdfunding campaign to raise the funds. Miraculously, she more than doubled her goal of $27,000 within a week. She is still fighting her cancer and is living her life to the fullest.
