LaunchGood is a crowdfunding[1] platform focused on the Muslim community worldwide.
[2] [3] LaunchGood is one of a number of crowdfunding platforms for gathering money from the public, which circumvents traditional avenues of investment.
Project creators choose a deadline and a minimum funding goal, and usually provide rewards or "perks" for contributors at various levels.
[4] The founders of LaunchGood are Chris Blauvelt, Amany Killawi and Omar Hamid.
[citation needed] LaunchGood has been used to fundraise for several nationally recognized projects, including a campaign to help rebuild African-American churches destroyed by arson in the summer of 2015,[6][7] and a campaign to fund the legal team of Adnan Syed (widely known from the podcast Serial) through a special appeal of his conviction.
