What is Christian Crowdfunding?

Online fundraising powered by faith, community, and the love of Jesus.

The basics

What is crowdfunding?

You have probably seen fundraisers shared on social media for causes that matter. Crowdfunding brings many small gifts together online to support a person, project, or need.

Although crowdfunding can be used for a lot of things, simply put, it means collecting small amounts of money from a large number of people using an online fundraiser promoted through social media. It can be used to support a product, service, or cause—from mission trips and medical needs to community projects and church initiatives.

A growing movement

Crowdfunding is growing

Donation-based crowdfunding has become one of the most popular ways people help each other online—whether for medical bills, mission trips, or emergency needs. Industry analysts estimated the global crowdfunding market at more than $24 billion in 2024, with donation-based fundraisers accounting for over a third of that activity (source: Market Data Forecast).

That growth shows no sign of slowing. Online giving has become a normal way for communities to rally around people and causes they care about.
