We were recently contacted by CelebrityCrowdfunding.com , an interesting new crowdfunding platform designed to highlight the good in celebrities. This is an interesting concept designed to leverage the crowd by encouraging stars to use their celebrity to champion good causes.
Here is the note we received from Celebrity Crowdfunding:

We showcase the GOOD in Celebrities and put the FUN in CrowdFUNding!

“The Home of Celebrity Crowdfunding!” Raise funds for celebrity related causes or needs. Fans run celebrity crowdfunding campaigns for a celebrity to attend an event. We do it in a fun, meaningful and interactive way. Your donations for celebrity crowdfunding campaigns will be well rewarded!

What Makes Us Unique?

1. Our Complimentary Disaster Relief Crowdfunding Fundraisers

2. Our Pay-It-Forward Program for Disaster Relief and our fans:

All Flexible Campaigns upon their ending date are subject to a 10% posting/service fee of which we will gift 2.5% of that fee into our ongoing “Disaster Relief” Fund and 2.5% into an ongoing Fans Give Back Fund for our backers.

3. Our “in-house” celebrity Chat and Video Rooms offer our backers the opportunity to receive great perks and offerings from our celebrities.

4. Our “celebrity tools” also includes an auction and classifieds for use by our celebrities to incorporate into their campaigns’ rewards; or can be used separately as another means to raise additional funds.

5. We offer two ways to market your crowdfunding campaigns

a. Visibe and marketed on our website

b. Private and password protected

6. Our Summary Reports and Review for all campaigns

We are always “Thinking-Out-Of-The Box” to present you with a platform built on substance and value. We believe there is no need to just follow the crowdfunding standards but to enhance it. CelebrityCrowdfunding.com’s platform offers celebrities and campaign owners the opportunity to reach their goals by showcasing their campaigns in front of fans willing, ready and able to show their support by donating money.

What makes us different from Indegogo or Kickstarter

Categories Only on Celebrity Crowdfunding:

1. Celebrity Bucket List – Campaigns posted by or for the terminally ill seeking celebrity support to make their wishes come true.

2. Celebrity Crowd Booking- Crowdfund to pay for a celebrity or entertainer to attend an event, special appearance, speaking engagement, party or endorsement. Anyone can now book a celebrity or entertainer.

3. Celebrity Dare – Dare a celebrity for a good cause, charity or just for fun!

4. Celebrity Do-Gooder – Using their star power, celebrities rally up their fans and followers to donate to their favorite charity or cause. Their fans get great rewards and incentives and the two “powers” team up to help make a difference in the world.

5. Hope Prayer and a Celebrity – Campaign owners request a celebrity to sponsor/affiliate themselves with their worthy campaigns or make a partial or full donation. At this time only campaigns related to Disaster, Health or a cause, will be accepted as possible candidates.

6. Secret Celebrity – For Celebrities Needing To Run Secret and Private Crowdfunding Campaigns!

This category is a fundraiser where celebrities and those they invite come together to raise funds. Celebrities can use this category to support, come to the aid of or show their gratitude for a fellow celebrity or someone in their industry. This fundraiser is password protected, and only accessible to those that have been given or sent the password.

While Celebrity Crowdfunding is a new platform and working to build traffic, they clearly have some very compelling ideas, making them a platform to watch in 2014.
