donation-based crowdfunding

Donation-based crowdfunding is a method of raising funds online where individuals contribute money to support a cause, project, or organization without expecting financial returns. Supporters typically donate because they believe in the cause, whether it's for charity, community projects, or personal emergencies. Platforms like GoFundMe or crowdfunding pages enable organizers to share their stories and goals, encouraging public generosity. This approach relies on voluntary donations, often driven by emotional appeal, social sharing, and trust, making it an effective way to gather resources quickly for compassionate, nonprofit, or social initiatives.
