<dd>Crowdfunding is collectively pooling donations (or pledges) to support some cause. Using the internet to coordinate means that complete strangers can work together, drawn by a common cause. This also means the number of donors can be vast, so individual donations can be as large or as small as people are comfortable with, and still add up to enough to do something amazing.<br /><br />

Want to see some examples? The <a href="http://buyindiaalibrary.wordpress.com/">Buy India a Library</a> project (cofounded by an Unglue.it team member) crowdfunded donations -- mostly small ones, around $20 -- to build a school library in India. <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/">Kickstarter</a> lets artists and inventors solicit funds to make their projects a reality. For instance, webcomic artist Rich Burlew sought $57,750 to reprint his comics in paper form -- and raised <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/599092525/the-order-of-the-stick-reprint-drive">close to a million</a>.<br /><br />
