New Free Crowdfunding Platform Based on Buddhist Tradition Launches|Filmmakers,Film Industry, Film Festivals, Awards & Movie Reviews | Indiewire: A new unprecedented crowdfunding platform, dana.io, which doesn't take a percentage of the money raised, launches today. Filmmakers, artists, and activists around the world can use it for free.
This new model is based on the ancient practice of unconditional giving known as "dana" in the Buddhist tradition. Just as Buddhist nuns and monks throughout history have been sustained by the dana offered to them by supporters, the dana.io crowdfunding platform will be freely offered for the funding of projects. The plan is that users, inspired by the concept that catalyzed the funding of their projects, will, in turn, voluntarily gift some of the money they raise to dana.io.
