What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
Story
After Grenada’s national library closed its doors in 2010, a group of concerned citizens got together to launch a community-run library. In just two years, we’ve grown at a phenomenal rate but the charitable funds we depend on are scarce which means that our project is now in jeopardy. Your support will help us to continue to offer holistic support for youth in literacy, education, creative and critical thinking skills which are desperately needed.
