Millions of potential backers ready to support local causes
Community-powered fundraising in New York
Nonprofits across New York have sparked campaigns uniting communities and amplifying impact across the city.
Our group of founding nonprofit partners are helping shape a new model for community-driven fundraising.
Across all 5 boroughs
Manhattan • Brooklyn • Queens • The Bronx • Staten Island
Built for cities.
Powered by communities.
For over a decade, Crowdfunder has shown that when people see others giving, they don’t just donate – they join in. Momentum builds. Communities rally. Campaigns take off. Giving doesn’t just add up – it multiplies.
Now that model is in New York City – home to the most vibrant ecosystem of nonprofits, grassroots activism, and neighborhood-led initiatives. With nonprofits ready to lead, this is where community-powered fundraising comes to life.
Why New York?
New York is a city of communities – where people show up, speak out, and back what matters. From Manhattan to the Bronx, Brooklyn to Queens and Staten Island, local causes bring people together.
Strong neighborhood pride and identity
A culture of showing up for each other
Vibrant communities across all five boroughs

“Over the last decade, we've seen 80,000 campaigns raise hundreds of millions of dollars, backed by a crowd of over 4 million supporters. We're bringing that same energy to supporting communities across New York and the whole country."
Simon Deverell, Crowdfunder Co-CEO
Featured case study
When Steady Buckets launched on Crowdfunder, they set out to grow their inclusive basketball program for children on the autism spectrum – with match funding from the Spark Fund helping every dollar go further.
Backed by over 100 supporters, they powered past their initial $25,000 target in a matter of days.
