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. They make it possible to share your project with thousands of people and raise money to make it a reality.
Below is a project I like and was going to fund money but they have already received more than they need. They only asked for $18,000, so far they have raised over $26,000. If you have a great idea, but just need some financial assistance Kickstarter can help.
