Crowdfunding Day
March 14, Friday
History of the holiday
Crowdfunding Day was created to celebrate the growth of crowdfunding, which has changed the way projects and ideas are financed worldwide. Crowdfunding became popular in the early 2000s, when platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo began to gain attention. These platforms allowed people to raise funds to make their ideas a reality without needing large investors. Since then, crowdfunding has become an essential part of the business world and a key tool for launching new products, technologies, and social projects.
How this day is celebrated
1. Baking pies: People bake different kinds of pies, from sweet to savory, and share them with neighbors, friends, or local charities.
2. Solidarity with those in need: The day inspires people to help those in difficult situations, such as the homeless, people with low income, or the elderly.
3. Social events: In some countries, events are held to support local communities, charity bazaars, or pie parties, where people gather to share food and discuss how to help those in need.
Popularity and perception
Although it is an unofficial holiday, its popularity is growing. It is seen as a positive event that brings people together around the idea of kindness and support. This can benefit not only those receiving help, but also those involved in organizing and running the events, creating strong bonds within the community.
Purpose of the holiday
The main goal of this day is to remind us of the importance of mutual aid and solidarity in society. A simple act of giving a pie can become a symbol of how small acts of kindness can help people feel supported and united.
