Piggybackr is an American crowdfunding website for students and youth teams to fundraise for their schools, projects, and causes online.
[2] Piggybackr has been described as “Kickstarter for students.”[3] Unlike Kickstarter, children offer "thank you gifts" including advertising for companies, such as committing to running a lap, putting a business' logo on their page, or giving someone a shout-out on Facebook.
Lo spent about a year developing a way to fundraise for children that used Facebook.
[7] After another year of private beta, Piggybackr launched nationwide on April 17, 2013 with over 1,500 projects and $250,000 raised by kids.
The website's customers include national and regional chapters of youth organizations like FIRST Robotics and YMCA.
