Is Crowdfunding The Key To Driving Social Change?

In Martin Luther King's words, "Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability but comes through continuous struggle." 

His words reflect the idea that it requires a collective and continuous effort to bring in significant change and make a difference, whether it is for a social movement or a much greater cause. This is what exactly echoes in the idea of Crowdfunding, where communities come together to support a cause, create change and transform lives.

Over the past decade, Crowdfunding has emerged as a powerful tool, bringing about transformative changes in people's lives. Through its ability to unite individuals and communities for a common cause, Crowdfunding has become a catalyst for social transformation. 

ImpactGuru - India's leading Crowdfunding platform, through its effective campaigns ranging from medical to NGO causes, has been transforming lives and bringing social change.

Let us explore the reasons why Crowdfunding platforms like ImpactGuru have been a momentum of social change:

Access to Financial Resources:

One of the primary hurdles in pursuing social change is the lack of adequate financial resources. In the context of Medical Crowdfunding, consider a patient in urgent need of life-saving surgery. Without sufficient funds, their chance of living a healthy life may seem bleak. But, with Crowdfunding, their story reaches a vast network of people who would rally together to provide the necessary financial support. As a result, the patient can access the necessary medical treatment they require.

In short, Crowdfunding bridges the financial gap between people with resources and those who require them. This, in turn, empowers individuals and communities to bring about social change in the lives of those in need.

Helps Increase Social Awareness:

Crowdfunding campaigns serve as tools, enlightening the public about social issues and encouraging them to take action. For example, in the context of Medical Crowdfunding, Hammad, a 4-year-old child, was born with a rare condition called Mermaid Syndrome. With the help of a Crowdfunding campaign, the news of Hammad's condition spread rapidly, garnering support from individuals and communities across the world. This not only raised funds for Hammad and his family but also raised awareness of the numerous challenges many patients with rare conditions face. 

Many Crowdfunding campaigns raise awareness of causes on several grounds, including medical and social causes. This encourages people to make a difference and create a wider social impact.

Breaking Conventional Barriers:

Crowdfunding transcends traditional barriers, such as geographical limitations or a lack of social connections, creating an inclusive platform available to everyone. 

For example, someone living in a rural area may not have access to the same resources as those living in an urban area. Similarly, someone without an established network may not have the same access to funding and resources as someone with social connections. Through Crowdfunding, several marginalized individuals and communities can gain access to necessary resources that were previously not possible. 

Crowdfunding helps bring about social transformation, which is more representative of society's diverse needs.
