Title: Crowdfunding platform to raise money for educational purposes
Post by: Jitra on March 05, 2018, 09:02:59 PM
I’m wondering if there are platforms using cryptocurrencies to raise money for educational purposes similar to Wishbone or GoFundMe.  For example, a couple of my nephews got accepted into summer programs at prestigious unversities (Harvard & Stanford) but they only received partial scholarships and their parents are not well to do.  Is there any cryptocurrency based platform (s) that can be used for such purposes?

Why not use google..? Also, why use bitcoin or a cryptocurrency platform vs something like gofundme? Maybe talk to a bank since some banks will work with students and some wont start payments until sometime after they graduate.
