Have you noticed that people are more…charitable in December? Is it the holiday cheer? Feelings of gratitude? Or an attempt to ensure good karma in the coming year? Whatever it is, December's contagious generosity has earned it the unofficial title, "National Giving Month." We dug up some data on this holiday-inspired generosity and here's what we found: 1️⃣The giving fever spares no one! Anyone can catch the fever, even nonreligious folks. 2️⃣Last-minute donations are a thing. About 12% of all charitable giving occurs on the last three days of the year. 3️⃣It's prime time for volunteer sourcing. Every 3 in 8 adults engage in some form of volunteer work in November and December.

When Benedicta set out to fundraise for the Games Village IDP camp, transparency was her top priority — she wanted to ensure donations went directly to the cause. She searched for a crowdfunding platform that was accessible to Nigerians and easy to use. Crowdr stood out with its user-friendly interface, refund feature, and strong community focus. After some research, she launched her campaign and successfully raised 399,000 naira to provide food and share hope at the camp. 💚

We are proud to share that we’ve processed over 1 MILLION naira in donations! 🥳🎉 From supporting post-surgery relief to providing essential school supplies, your donations have made a direct impact on lives and communities. Let’s do even more oncrowdr.com. 💚

I had an incredible time volunteering as a coach for the Black Girls in Tech hackathon at Atlantic Hall High School last week! It was such a rewarding experience helping the students work through problem-solving scenarios and watching their excitement as they came up with creative solutions. I also had the chance to talk to them about my work at Crowdr | Crowdfund in Nigeria where we leverage tech to create impact through fundraising and volunteering. We discussed different career paths in tech, and it was great to see how many possibilities resonated with them—from software development to project management and beyond. It’s always inspiring to work with the next generation of tech talent! 💻✨ #BGIT #TechForGood #Hackathon #STEM #Crowdr #InspiringYouth

Feedback like this keep us running! Agnes Onyekwere is the founder of Project MEND (Alherin Mata), an initiative that empowers low-income women in Ogun state with sewing skills - to foster financial independence. Recently, she launched a campaign on Crowdr and because of the donations received, was able to host an Adire training for the women! This training helped them learn to craft backpacks made with our local Adire material and the bags are now available for pre-order! 👏🏽 https://selar.co/73703c
