Start your FREE Campaign

Empowering filmmakers to own every step of their film crowdfunding journey

Keep more of what you raised

We offer three pricing models to get your film funded for free, or as close to free as possible. Keep more of what you raise on Crowdfundr and put the extra money into good use like marketing, upgrading filming or editing equipment, and hiring more staff.

Receive funding ASAP

There’s no second guessing when it comes to the money you raised. With Keep-it-All campaigns, funds are processed in real time so you can start your project or fulfill perks and rewards for your supporters right away.

Continuous crowdfunding for film

Don’t let your crowdfunding efforts stop even when your goal is reached. Keep the same campaign active and take advantage of the marketing you put into driving traffic to it, add new rewards, or continue to raise money post-production.

Enticing reward choices for supporters

Add a custom picture to your rewards so supporters know exactly what they are getting. Your supporters can easily choose more than one reward at a time. No more complicated tiers or confusing bundles.

Supporter social sharing

Our movie crowdfunding pages inspire supporters to share your campaign. With advanced social sharing tools, intuitive visual storytelling, and engaging mobile-friendly pages, your supporters simply can’t turn away.

Shipping and fulfillment that make sense

Each reward can have regular and add-on shipping fees. Not to mention, shipping costs do not count towards your goal so you have an accurate idea of how much you’ve raised.

What other creators are saying about us

I am over the moon with Crowdfundr! The interface is incredibly easy to use. Visually it is very slick. This is without a doubt the easiest campaign I've ever set up and I would recommend it to anyone.

The team behind Crowdfundr has been amazing - responsive to emails and requests, quick to fix issues, and most importantly, engaged with creators at every step of the way to develop and launch a crowdfunding platform that meets the needs of artists, publishers, and creatives without the baggage of blockchain and Web3.0. We worked with Crowdfundr to launch a major project and we received an intense amount of support from their team. I could not recommend them more highly.

We recently starting using Crowdfundr, and the experience has been great so far. A nice clean site, with some interesting options - we went for the nearly free option, and have been impressed/pleased by the number of backers who've pledged a little extra to support our campaign. Our first campaign raised more than our equivalent first campaign on another well-known platform, so we'll definitely use again.

I've been extremely impressed with the responsiveness of the team behind Crowdfundr. They listen to feedback about their crowdfunding platform and are honestly interested in improving the experience for both creators and supporters. The tools provided are excellent: the ability to clone previous campaigns, to duplicate perks, and being able to roll over a crowdfunding campaign into an online pre-order shop are all useful! I feel like my small press projects at Black Eye Books are well served by the platform!
