CrowdFundEDU was a US-based private for-profit company founded in 2012 that provides a crowd funding website for education.

People hold online fundraisers to get contributions for tuition, student loans,[1] books and supplies, sports equipment, events and extracurricular activities.

Student debt is recognized as a growing financial burden to young adults, but crowd funding brings an alternative to this form of lending and is considered by some to be one of the greatest financial creations of the digital age.

[3] Many of the fundraisers on the site seems to be focused on college students hoping to raise funds to pay tuition or student loans, but there are also online K-12 school fundraisers,[4] teachers raising funds for classroom expenses, as well as people crowdfunding for e-learning platforms and elementary-age children.

[6] CrowdFundEDU seeks to broaden the scope of educational fundraising from the local community to the global population through the use of people's social networks of family, friends, co-workers and colleagues, who can help further spread the word through their own extended networks.
