FRONT ROYAL, Virginia (LifeSiteNews) – LifeSiteNews has launched its new and improved LifeFunder website, after the site already raised over $2 million dollars for good causes since its launch in December 2020.
Owned and operated by LifeSiteNews, LifeFunder.com is a pro-life, pro-family, and pro-faith crowdfunding site, where good causes are connected with good people to help change lives for the better.
Now, WonderWe founder and entrepreneur Dominic Ismert has kindly gifted his crowdfunding website to LifeSiteNews, allowing LifeFunder to build on his remarkable success and WonderWe’s innovative features, such as peer-to-peer and teams fundraising, to launch a new version of LifeFunder.
The upgrade means any person or charity in need can upload their own campaign, have it vetted and approved by the LifeFunder team, and then start fundraising towards success.
The latest expansion of the crowdfunding website to the public has been hailed by LifeFunder campaign manager Tim Jackson as a significant opportunity for people in need.
“LifeFunder’s growth has been phenomenal, so we are trying to match the public appetite for safe and secure crowdfunding with a new, streamlined version that now allows anyone to upload a campaign, get it vetted and approved, and then start accepting donations,” Jackson said.
“We want to continue protecting donors by doing our due diligence as usual and investigating prospective beneficiaries. At the same time, the new website will make successful crowdfunding all the more accessible and achievable through a range of new tools,” he added.
LifeFunder passed the $2 million mark in its work of raising money for worthy causes in early January, with LifeSiteNews vice president Gualberto Garcia Jones saying the crowdfunding site’s success shows what can happen “when good people pool together.”
“When we launched LifeFunder in late 2020, we didn’t ever envisage this type of growth, but it shows what happens when good people pool together,” Garcia Jones explained.
“We knew at the time there were a lot of good causes being de-platformed by bigger crowdfunding sites, so it seemed like a good idea to start pushing back by creating our own ecosystem of support, where people with anti-establishment, conservative, or Christian views can ask for the funding they need without fear of being cancelled,” he said.
LifeFunder.com has been able to support needy projects around the world, from Afghani refugees and Pakistani orphans, to persecuted Christians in Nigeria and children rescued from abortion in Brazil.
Moreover, many vaccine victims, religious orders, pro-life initiatives, brave doctors, and cancelled priests from North America have also found support on the platform, including Fr. James Altman, who was supported to the tune of almost $400,000 in his ongoing attempt to clean up the Catholic Church.
LifeFunder campaigns have most recently raised over $130,000 for Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war.
