Crowdfunding has changed the game for many grownups who need money to achieve their dreams, whether that's making a film, building a unique new gadget, or becoming president. But sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo are for adults. When kids need to raise money for their schools or extra-curricular projects, they're often still using decades-old methods like selling candy bars or wrapping paper. A site launching to the public today called Piggybackr wants to bring kids' fundraising out of the dark ages (or at least the 1980s.) Piggybackr is a crowdfunding platform that's specifically targeted to the needs of kids, with educational tools, game mechanics, and age-appropriate directions, and parental controls. The site is focused on efforts, rather than physical products -- kids ask potential sponsors for donations online and offer "thank you gifts" in return such as volunteer time.
