MYCAUSE AUSTRALIAN FOR CROWDFUNDING
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
You can tell a lot by a name
The platform mycause started out as a fundraising platform for Australian charities long before the word "crowdfunding" was popularised.
mycause for the last 6 years has also been helping Australians fundraise for a personal cause close to their heart. A personal cause is raising money for a friend in need, a family member, a colleague a staff member or event a special project.
The "my" in mycause reflects the fact that the fundraiser or campaign creator is raising money for a cause that matters to them. A cause close to their heart.
