Crowdfunding for Causes
No one likes being cold-called by an organization and asked for money. But most people (especially the kind-hearted) do want to help their friends. Root Funding is crowdfunding for causes — we take the power of person-to-person connections and apply it to fundraising for social good.
Grow your support network (and your results)
Reach new, inclined-to-give supporters by tapping into the networks of your existing supporters. We see the results, people are more likely to give to friends than organizations, even when the cause is the same. It's grassroots fundraising - the power of people.
Do more good, more easily (and with friends)
You’ve surely heard a lot about “your network,” and now’s your chance to put it to truly amazing use by spreading the word about causes you care about. We handle the details while you bask in the glow of making the world a better place.

A shining example
The BCG vaccine can significantly decrease the incidence of tuberculosis and it is available for as little as ten cents per dose. Every dollar donated will vaccinate approximately ten infants.
Thirty five cents a day. That's how much a hot meal costs for a child in the Kalva slums. The children receive all the nutrients that their growing bodies need. 35 cents a day. That's all.
Hair We Share will be making a custom made wig for Catherine with the use of donated ponytails. This fundraiser is to cover the manufacturing costs.
NechamaComfort helps families, like mine, facing a tragedy that is too often hidden. We educate communities, medical personnel and clergy to better support their friends, neighbors, clients and congregants.
How many blackouts or brown outs have you already had in your home this season? Now imagine that you had life-saving medical equipment that went off every time you had a blackout because of a little bit of rain. You can help!
