Why We Do It
The current government assistance schemes go an admirable distance in helping the chronically needy. But how about those who aren’t chronically needy and suddenly find themselves in acute need? Often times, they have to resort to appealing to the generosity of their community. Crowdfunding expands this community to include everyone with access to the internet. It is thus unsurprising that crowdfunding has become an increasingly popular mode of fundraising.
In order for crowdfunding to achieve its potential in Singapore, the skepticism surrounding the legitimacy of crowdfunding campaigns must be removed. This would ensure donors have peace of mind. On the other end, beneficiaries should not feel that publicising their plight necessitates a loss of dignity. Advocaid was set up to tackle these concerns head-on.
