Funding Genie launched this month with much fanfare. This new Crowdfunding platform is offering features and categories not seen anywhere else.
The website offers complimentary Disaster and Volunteer Crowdfunding campaigns. “Providing a platform for worthy causes to keep more of their donated funds is a small way to contribute and help give back to those in need”.
The website charges low fees 3% for successful campaigns and 10% for those selecting to run flexible campaigns in order to receive funds even if they don’t reach the campaigns goal amount. However with their “Pay-It-Forward Program they gift 5% to the next successful “All or Nothing Campaign”.
Several other key elements makes Funding Genie different and stand out from other crowd-funding websites. They have partnered with CrowdFunders Promotion LLC who will provide complimentary marketing services consisting of campaign optimization, social media and up to 5 press releases. Promising to make for a useful, informative and interactive community is their in-house chat room and forum for all topics related to on-site campaigns and Crowdfunding related issues. Additional elements are their Diverse and Unique campaign categories you can back or run on the website:
1. Bail Money – Raise funds for money needed to bail out people we care for
2. Bucket List – Raise funds to accomplish goals, overcome fears, realize dreams and enjoy some simple pleasures
3. Do-Gooders – Monthly fundraiser to donate funds to someone in dire need
4. Give Back/Get Back – “Raise funds for an Outstanding Volunteer
5. Fresh Start Program – Campaigns for and by individuals who deserve a second chance from society
6. LGBT – Raise funds related to LGBT causes or matters and more
The growth in crowdfunding has led to new platforms showing up online almost daily. This being the case, it is not easy for a new player to stand out from the crowd. FundingGenie has brought some new features to the table to help you success in your crowdfunding campaign.
It is early on for FundingGenie.com but based on the conversations we have had with the platforms founder, we see bright things in Funding Genies future.
