12 Feminist Crowdfunding Projects To Support

Crowdfunding has become the fastest and most accessible way for people everywhere to raise money for their small businesses or projects, and because of this, it's is a great means of fundraising for feminist projects. From educating women in Africa to creating plus-size lingerie, women are using crowdfunding sites to fund their women-centric projects. It's an incredibly easy way to support other women and feminist ideals, as there are tons of feminist crowdfunding projects to donate to, and it only takes a few minutes. Most campaigns accepts donations as small as $5, so it doesn't have to be a huge financial investment, but you can give more if you feel so inclined.

Women's projects on sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are doing incredibly well, too — according to Forbes, 42 percent of Indiegogo's successful campaigns were run by women, and these projects received more donations and more money per campaign than their male competition.
