Thanks for your question and here's a brief overview.
CrowdRise is an online fundraising platform. Our goal is to make it super fast, easy and actually fun to set up a fundraiser so you can raise more money than you ever thought possible for your favorite cause.
You can set up a fundraiser to either benefit a US or Canadian-based 501c3 charity or you can set up a fundraiser linked to your US or Canadian bank account to raise money to help a personal cause. For instance, you can raise funds for someone who had a house fire, to assist in educational costs or for medical bills. All pretty amazing and all about doing a little good.
If you work for a company who has a charitable matching gift program in place, CrowdRise is happy to help facilitate that.
You can check out some more info by scrolling down our How It Works page Here (https://www.crowdrise.com/online-fundraising). Our FAQ's may be helpful as well.
You're always welcome to email Quintas@CrowdRise.com if you have any other questions about crowdfunding or how to build a better mousetrap.
