I have contributed to a variety of charities including Kiva, Medicine Sans Frontiers, and Habitat for Humanity. Here we have the next generation of charity or "crowdsourcing" creativity.
Meet Kickstarter. What is Kickstarter you may ask:
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.A new form of commerce and patronage. This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.
