LaunchGood is a crowdfunding[1] platform focused on the Muslim community worldwide.[2] LaunchGood went live in October 2013[3] and it raised more than $688 million from 2.1 million donors across 155 countries.[4][5]

LaunchGood is a crowdfunding platform used to gather money from the public, which circumvents traditional avenues of investment. Project creators choose a deadline and a minimum funding goal, and usually provide rewards or "perks" for contributors at various levels.[6]

The founders of LaunchGood are Chris Blauvelt, Amany Killawi and Omar Hamid.[7][8][9]

Projects

LaunchGood has been used to fundraise for several nationally recognized projects, including a campaign to help rebuild African-American churches destroyed by arson in the summer of 2015,[10][dead link][11] and a campaign to fund the legal team of Adnan Syed (widely known from the podcast Serial) through a special appeal of his conviction.[12][dead link] Each of these campaigns raised more than $100,000 through the platform.[13][14] An October 2018 campaign to help pay for Jewish burials for the 11 victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, and the medical bills of survivors, raised its goal of $25,000 in six hours and went on to raise more than $200,000.[15]

Awards

LaunchGood has received the Islamic Economy Award, Small & Medium Enterprises (SME).[16]
