Crowdfunding is a new, exciting way to raise funds by harnessing the power of micro donations through an online platform. Artpsire is pleased to announce a partnership with RocketHub, an artist friendly crowdfunder that will enable fiscally sponsored projects to run a crowdfunding campaign and offer their donors a tax deduction, a service not currently available through major crowd funding sites.
