Do you have a particular project in mind that you think people might be interested in donating to?
Crowdfunding is a good way not only to raise funds for a particular project but also to raise the
profile of your cause and gathers support.

not manage to raise the target you are aiming for for your project. But nevertheless this way of
funding has potential to work well for clearly defined projects.
