This month, Innovation Exchange is excited to have presentations from three amazing crowdfunding platforms with a social good focus:
Craig and Marc Kielburger (founders of Free the Children) talk about how their parents raised them to become internationally recongized for their work and the We Day Movement. They were taught and encouraged to care and contribute.
A picture says 1000 words, well a video must say 10,000 so if you need convincing watch the following:
