CrowdRise is a for profit crowdfunding platform that uses crowdsourcing to raise charitable donations.[2][3] CrowdRise was founded by Edward Norton, Shauna Robertson, and the founders of Moosejaw, Robert and Jeffrey Wolfe.[2][4][5][6]
Overview
CrowdRise's fundraising model is based upon the notion of making giving back fun,[7] which will lead more people to do it, and the fundraisers will raise more money than they would have otherwise.[8] The platform uses gamification and a rewards point system to engage users to participate in fundraising and donating.[9]
Its primary model is donation-based, and the campaign defaults to keep-what-you-raise, making it good for charities.
