Crowdfund Better Communities™ is an initiative dedicated to expanding access to low or no cost crowdfunding education, training and support to empower the flow of capital via crowdfunding to under-resourced entrepreneurs in our communities.
Crowdfund Better believes that every entrepreneur should have crowdfunding as a tool in their capital-raising toolkit. But currently, only a handful of small business advisors and small business support organizations offer crowdfunding education and training.
If you believe that crowdfunding can unlock community capital for entrepreneurs who are not able to access loans and venture capital, join with us in our mission to bring crowdfunding tools to more entrepreneurs and communities. Learn more about the many ways we can deploy training below.
Contact us to learn more about funding a training program or providing match funding to an initiative. Or make a tax-deductible donation to Crowdfund Better Communities™ using the button below.
Through the support of our fiscal sponsor, the Far Away Project, we are able to receive tax-deductible philanthropic and grant-based funding to accelerate the delivery of crowdfunding education to the communities.
