PledgeMe Hundreds and Thousands
PledgeMe, New Zealand’s crowdfunding platform, had it’s hundredth project success this morning, thanks to thousands of
pledgers from around New Zealand and the world.
PledgeMe’s hundredth project shows that New Zealanders still care, share and wear. Supporting children is top of mind,
and Beba McLean is changing the face of how New Zealanders help children in need. “We’re helping children help children”
says co-founder Beba. “We are facilitating them (and their families) to help those less fortunate than themselves
through the passing on of pre-loved clothing."
With close to $500,000 pledged since February, PledgeMe is proving that the crowdfunding model is here to stay.
