JGive is a powerful “crowdfunding” extension that enables your members to create fund-raising projects; accept donations or Investments, and keep donors updated on the project’s progress. Whether your members need to raise money for personal projects, causes, charities, business ventures, medical bills, musical endeavours, school events or non-profit fundraisers, our JGive extension makes it possible to do it with ease. What's more, if you have a Social Networking extension like JomSocial/Community Builder or EasySocial, they can even transform their profile page into a mini-fundraising site - just like microgiving.com. Crowdfunding (sometimes called ‘crowd financing’, ‘crowd sourced capital’ or ‘micro-patronage’) is a popular new way for artists, bloggers, musicians, software developers and activists to support themselves and their projects through online ‘crowd’ donations. Your community members will LOVE being able to harness the power of the crowd to fund their projects—and you’ll love the boost in traffic, page-views and exposure your website will get when your members invite investors, family members, friends and fans alike over to your website to make donations.
