So… What Is Crowdfunding, and How Do You Do It?
Crowdfunding is a method of fundraising that empowers donors to become advocates for the causes they believe in by sharing fundraising campaigns with their own networks and amplifying their reach. As a small non-profit relying primarily on individual donors, crowdfunding has the potential to make a huge impact on Power for Parkinson’s and our free services for people with Parkinson’s. Starting your own crowdfunding page is a free and fairly easy way to show your support for organizations like Power for Parkinson’s while making a big impact. Follow the steps below to start your own crowdfunding campaign during our Ride the Waves Summer Fundraiser!
