href="https://www.gofundme.com/c/crowdfunding"><span style="font-weight: 400">Crowdfunding</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> has become essential when raising money for everything from new product launches to <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/c/blog/medical-debt">medical debt</a> to scientific research. But with so many crowdfunding sites out there now, you might wonder which one will fit your unique needs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">When researching the best crowdfunding sites, you need to consider a few important factors, including site features, community, and fee structures. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled a list of five key considerations to keep in mind. With this information, you’ll feel more confident in choosing the right platform for your crowdfunding needs.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center"><span class="button button-wp large primary expanded-mobile"><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/create/fundraiser">Start a fundraiser</a></span></p> <h2><span class="heading-2">How to compare crowdfunding sites: 5 key services to look for</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">If you’re wondering, “How does crowdfunding work?” the concept is fairly simple: Someone starts an online fundraiser to meet a financial need, and then their network of friends and family members donate to their cause. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">From there, the organizer withdraws the donations and is sent to their bank account. Below, we list the most important services to watch for in any online fundraising site.</span></p> <h3><span class="heading-3">Ease of use</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Before you start a </span><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">fundraiser</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, navigate through the crowdfunding platform site. The best crowdfunding sites make you want to spend time on their pages, learn more, and get involved. If a crowdfunding site requires a complex process to begin, choose a different one.</span></p> <h3><span class="heading-3">Customer support</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Does the site offer email support, live chat, or a phone helpline? Remember that your friends and family members will be donating money, and they might need help, too. The company must demonstrate honesty, responsibility, and availability while always prioritizing customer satisfaction.</span></p> <h3><span class="heading-3">Tools for spreading awareness in your community</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Take a look at the social networking tools the crowdfunding site offers. The best crowdfunding websites have easy-to-use tools that make it easy to share your fundraiser on </span><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/c/fundraising-tips/social-media"><span style="font-weight: 400">social media</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, such as </span><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/c/blog/facebook-fundraising"><span style="font-weight: 400">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, Instagram, email, and more. Since your social network is a vital piece of your crowdfunding fundraiser’s effort to reach your audience, features like these are essential.</span></p> <h3><span class="heading-3">Crowdfunding fees comparison</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">A platform fee is when a crowdfunding site takes a percentage of all the money you raise through your fundraiser. Typically, crowdfunding platform fees range from 5% to 12%. Look out for punitive fee structures. Some platforms increase fees if you don’t meet your goal. Others have an all-or-nothing model, meaning you only receive the money based on whether or not you meet or exceed your goal.</span></p> <h3><span class="heading-3">Brand recognition and trust</span></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">It’s crucial to consider the reputation of a crowdfunding website before using it. A well-known company is more likely to inspire trust and loyalty from users. Its familiarity breeds confidence in the product or service. Moreover, a positive brand image indicates a company’s honesty and other desirable traits.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Consider these five key factors as you review the top crowdfunding sites in each category.</span></p> <h2><span class="heading-2">Crowdfunding sites for individuals and crowdfunding sites for nonprofits</span></h2> <h2><span class="heading-2">1.
