grassroots funding

Grassroots funding refers to financial support collected directly from a community or group of individuals, often through small donations, rather than from large institutions or wealthy donors. It relies on widespread participation, empowering everyday people to contribute to causes they believe in. This method strengthens community involvement, fosters a sense of ownership, and can demonstrate genuine support for a project or initiative. Grassroots funding is commonly used in political campaigns, social movements, or local projects, emphasizing collective effort and democratizing the funding process.
