Piggybackr Launches Its ?Kickstarter For Kids' To Let Youth Get In On The Crowdfunding Wave

Crowdfunding has changed the game for many grownups who need money to achieve their dreams, whether that's making a film, building a unique new gadget, or becoming president. But sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are for adults. When kids need to raise money for their schools or extra-curricular projects, they're often still using decades-old methods like selling candy bars or wrapping paper. A site launching to the public today called Piggybackr wants to bring kids' fundraising out of the dark ages (or at least the 1980s.) Piggybackr is a crowdfunding platform that's specifically targeted to the needs of kids, with educational tools, game mechanics, and age-appropriate directions, and parental controls. The site is focused on efforts, rather than physical products -- kids ask potential sponsors for donations online and offer "thank you gifts" in return such as volunteer time.
