Crowdfunding Expert Kendall Almerico Comments Crowd-Funding to Finance Funerals
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) October 07, 2013 -- Crowdfunding expert Kendall Almerico, CEO of crowd funding website http://www.ClickStartMe.com, commented on the somber subject of paying for funeral expenses, and the role crowd-funding can plan to ease this burden. Almerico notes that crowd funding has moved beyond the traditional capital generation for entrepreneurs and small businesses to also being used to raise the funds needed to pay for funeral expenses that can cost $10,000 or more.
"When funeral expenses start to pile up, many times families struggle with where to turn to pay proper respects to their loved ones," Almerico, the nationally publicized crowd-funding expert says. "Crowd funding has become a viable way for families to help pay the expenses brought by these difficult times."
Almerico points out that life insurance and other plans that help pay for funeral expenses are sometimes not in place when a loved one passes, especially in situations when tragedy strikes. "Funerals are expensive and too often looking to family to help is just not enough to carry the financial burden," Almerico notes. "Cause-based crowdfunding for situations like these has provided a way for people to raise the funds needed to help relieve the financial stress of a funeral and burial."
Almerico also released a video in his 'Crowdfunding News" series that talks more about this use for crowd funding. The video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba6HaGdUJ30.
Cause-based crowdfunding involves raising money through an online crowdfunding portal to support a worthy cause or initiative rather than a new product or business. The cause that is funded can be an individual, a charity organization, an initiative, or any other non-product or reward-related funding project. Websites like http://www.ClickStartMe.com provide a portal for raising funds through crowd funding for causes as well as products or businesses.
