Funded Justice Goes International

Funded Justice is a relatively new crowd-funding platform that is specific to those who need help raising money for legal reasons. Funded Justice launched in the United States in 2014. Since that launch, they have been able to help many people with obtaining the attorney they needed to seek justice in their situation.

Funded Justice is different from other crowd funding sites. They will not discriminate against what your legal issue is, and they believe everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Coupling that with the passion and belief that justice shouldn’t cost money, Funded Justice is becoming the premier platform for its users.  Funded Justice also helps its users with their campaigns, unlike any other platform. From a strong social media push to crowd speaking to press releases, whatever the staff at Funded Justice can do to help their users raise money, they will do.

The site is very easy to use, for both the person needing the funds, and the person giving the funds. To start a campaign, all that the user has to do is create an account, add picture or video (if and when available) and describe their situation. The user will then be prompted to set up a Stripe account to allow donations to go directly to their bank accounts. Once all of those steps are done, Funded Justice will review the campaign, approve and launch. With the help of Funded Justice’s new technology using Stripe.com, international campaigns can be created.

Currently Funded Justice is supporting a Canadian campaign, “The Indian Child Welfare Act Victims Legal Defense Fund,” has set a heavy goal of raising $5 million dollars. With technology, social media, and viral news that goal is perfectly obtainable; especially now that FundedJustice.com has the ability to accept international payments.

Crowd Funding for legal fees is catching on and becoming a very popular way to get the legal help you need. After all, we may not know one person who can afford to give us $2000 for an attorney’s retainer, but we may be able to reach 100 people who can each give us $20.
