About Us | MigFunder

Crowdfunding is an increasingly popular and successful mechanism to generate funding for worthwhile projects and initiatives.

Today, there is no other crowdfunding company that is dedicated primarily to the migrant communities established in major countries of immigration, or to migrant organisations, public agencies (including international organisations), NGOs and individuals supporting such communities.

MIGFUNDER aims to bridge this gap by offering a dedicated crowdfunding site that will caters for migrants looking to create (or grow) their businesses abroad or in their countries of origin, as well as for migrant organisations, public agencies, NGOs and individuals looking to launch a development or humanitarian initiative in support of immigrant and refugee communities worldwide, or a research project in the field of migration or asylum policy.

This is a pioneering initiative that can contribute potentially to reducing the effects of budget cuts and under-funding in major refugee and migration programme activities around the world.

Migrants and people from ethnic minorities represent an important pool of entrepreneurs in all major immigration countries. In the European Union, statistics from several Member States indicate that, proportionately, more migrants and members of ethnic minorities than nationals start a small business.

MIGFUNDER targets, primarily but not exclusively, members of the diasporas who are willing and able to support viable business projects from their compatriots, as well as development, humanitarian and research initiatives in the countries of immigration or origin.
