Crowdfunding is a quick and easy way to raise money using the internet and social media. Using an online fundraiser page, you can raise large amounts through donations from across the world to help any social, medical, personal or creative need.
Campaigners have used crowdfunding to pay for critical medical treatments such as cancer care or transplant, support disaster relief work, help a non-profit or a social cause and even fund personal needs such as education or businesses.

More and more Indians are opting for crowdfunding over traditional financial options such as loans or insurance. Over 70% of Indians are either not medically insured or are grossly under-insured. This means their insurance is rarely able to cover the steep medical costs of critical treatments like cancer or prenatal care. Loans, on the other hand, demand extremely high rates of interest and there is a cap on how much money you can get through loans. Loans also create debt.
Crowdfunding is a debt-free option where there is no cap on how much you can raise and no strict eligibility requirements (except basic documents such as medical bills, identity proof etc). Moreover, unlike days and months of waiting for insurance and loans, previous campaigners on ImpactGuru have raised funds within 24 hours!

You can start a fundraiser for free on Helpkart. Depending on your fundraising needs, Helpkart a certain percentage is deducted from the amount you raised as fees. Recently, Helpkart introduced fundraising at 0% platform fees to help you get the maximum of the amount you raise.

Money contributed towards your fundraiser on Helpkart is considered a donation or a gift and you are not liable to return the money back at any point. This no payback liability ensures you can pay for a medical or personal need without the worry of debt.
