PledgeMe Hundreds and
ThousandsPledgeMe, 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.
