Another crowdfunding platform variation called 'PledgeCents'
hopes to bring school fundraisers online. Using the crowdfunding
model, PledgeCents wants to help schools raise money from more
than just the surrounding community. The online platform hopes
to allow teachers to gain funds for school improvements from
generous souls worldwide.  In addition to the additional reach,
PledgeCents also wants to remove the seasonality of fund
raisers. Many offline events are only feasible to hold in the
spring and fall. By allowing schools to hold virtual
fundraisers, money can be raised in any season.  Unlike popular
crowdfunding platforms such as Indiegogo and Kickstarter,
PledgeCents releases funds even if goals aren't met. As a
result, schools can use a combination of online and offline
fundraising events in order to meet their monetary goals.
