Currently, there are four <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdwavetrust.org\/blog\/types-of-legal-crowdfunding-india\/\">crowdfunding types<\/a>, and they are reward-based, donation-based, debt-based, and equity-based.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The most common crowdfunding model is donation-based crowdfunding, where people can donate to social causes and non-profit projects. The next one to the line is reward-based crowdfunding, which involves offering rewards to those who contribute to the cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Campaigns like \u2018Help Jammu Kashmir Flood Victims\u2019, which raised over 20 crores (approx) in just six days, and \u2018Rang De\u2019, which raised over 86 crores (approx) to help provide microcredit to people in rural India to start businesses and \u2018<em><a href=\"https:\/\/crowdwavetrust.org\/campaign-detail\/covid-19-relief\">Covid-19 relief<\/a><\/em>\u2019, which raised 15 lakhs, cannot be forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The impact of <a href=\"https:\/\/crowdwavetrust.org\/blog\/how-to-crowdfund-for-charity\/\">crowdfunding on social causes and charity<\/a> has been significant.
