'Pride Pocket' is a new crowdfunding platform that has been created as an LGBTQ+ resource center that will provide users with a way to access information, support and much more. The crowdfunding app will offer users with a way to privately or publicly run a campaign for something they need support with. This could include transition surgeries, LGBTQ+-specific events and much more with a focus on offering those who might not have a platform to ask for help to do so in a safe space.
The 'Pride Pocket' crowdfunding platform is set to launch in beta starting on January 15, 2018 and will offer users the ability to keep 100% of the monetary contributions that they receive without having to pay costly fees.
