Lately, people have become accustomed to online fund raising as a reliable
alternative source for raising as much funds as possible to finance their
various activities. Online or regular fundraising also called crowdfunding is
the practice of collecting funds from various sources through online media.
Crowdfunding method based on my personal experience, it is
provided free of charge. That is when you want to register, we are not charged
at any cost, just when the money has been collected then we will be charged a
final worth in the form of a percentage of the money collected.
Because of its digital-based nature, this crowdfunding
method opens up opportunities in online fundraising. Actually, this
method can also be called an online proposal.
Good people out there whose money is still unemployed, can channel their money
directly to anyone who he thinks deserves to be helped through this crowdfunding
method.
But unfortunately, sometimes I find there are some unsuccessful people who
are successful in the practice of crowdfunding methods, but it turns out that
the funds collected were only used in a spree for their personal interests.

Benefits of crowdfunding methods (online fundraising)
There are several advantages, why now people like
to engage with the practice of crowdfunding methods or fundraising online, here
are some benefits that I have summarized.
1. No fees / free.
2. Money collects faster
If in the past we submitted a fund raising proposal in physical form, it had to be typed first, neatly bound and then submitted to the intended person, but now that method is outdated and is becoming obsolete.
Simply typed in the form provided then immediately presented to the kind donors out there. The good news, this online fund raising can be done in chains only by sending a link or link where the campaign or proposal is made through social media or through the personal whatsapp of our friends, relatives or acquaintances.
This is very beneficial, because they can also imitate the way we do so that the opportunity for the funds to be collected will be faster.
3. Be open
Here, in the crowdfunding method, the element of openness
is prioritized, how much funds have been collected and from whom the funds are
obtained, will be visible to anyone who accesses the proposal that we have
uploaded.
Indirectly, this will build trust between the
donor and the donors. Even without exception, if the online proposal is
submitted by a body, a foundation that has a legal entity, then openness in the
practice of crowdfunding methods will eliminate suspicion among the management
of the legal entity institution.
Online crowdfunding site
There are lots of sites out there that have social platforms using crowdfunding
methods or online fundraising. However, some of them are still old and not very
popular, so that only a few people use them.
But there are also some of the online fundraising sites that are so
excellent that so many social campaign actions have been piled up in the public
sphere.
Well, here are some popular online crowdfunding
sites and I have already used two of them.
1 Kitabisa.com
2. Airfunding.com
3. Gandengtangan.co.id
4. Ayopeduli.id
5. Yukbantu.com
6. Crowd.co.id (in the form of sharia)
Of the six online crowdfunding sites above, based on my experience, the
online fundraising method is, exactly, carried out by means of spreading links
or link campaigns that we have created. So our choice is free to use sites
which we like.
However, it is a little different on the site airfunding.com, whose
headquarters are in Japan. This crowdfunding site provides an airtripp feature,
which is a community forum for people who like to travel.
There are no less than 10 million users worldwide who have registered in
this forum, so when we choose to use the crowdfunding.com application, our
online fundraising campaign will automatically be seen by 10 million users in
the airtripp forum.
1. Medical treatment
2. Assistance for victims of natural disasters
3. Victims of social disasters
