Mission Markets Launches Online Crowdfunding Portal to Support Sustainable Organizations

Mission crowdfund will enable support for sustainability projects through donation-based crowdfunding

Submitted by Mission Markets

Mission Markets, which operates a portal network for impact and sustainability investments, announced today the addition of a crowdfunding platform, Mission Crowdfund, as part of its core offerings. Crowdfunding allows people to collectively pool their money via digital portals to support an organization or project. The launch of Mission Crowdfund goes a step further by also being the first platform to offer voluntary funding of environmental and wildlife habitat credits.

Mission Markets’ experience in sustainable capital markets and its portal platforms for impact and sustainable investments is further enhanced by the addition of the new donation-based crowdfunding platform. With the launch of Mission Crowdfund, organizations in the impact space are able to raise funds for projects that support their social or environmental objectives. Mission Crowdfund is exemplary of Mission Markets' focus on fostering an entire ecosystem around financing for sustainable impact.

"Mission-driven organizations struggle to raise funding needed to address their communities’ most challenging problems. Often financing solutions are limited to sophisticated investors," says Ken Marienau, the CEO of Mission Markets. "We are pleased that our new platform, Mission Crowdfund, enables everyone to donate to projects close to their hearts."
