A platform set up at Carlton University in Canada allows students to crowdfund education-related projects that have goals more than $900,000. Since its launch in 2013, between $1,000 and $25,000 has been donated to approximately 150 community-led crowdfunding projects. About one-third of all projects have been fully funded, while the majority raise at least some funds, and projects can be as diverse as bursaries for refugees or trips to the Caribbean to study coral reefs.
