Crowd Fund with Leetchi.com
Crowd funding has become a big thing this year, so many people are turning to others to help them fund their needs and while I’ve not used it myself, I have often looked at it and thought wouldn’t it be great if on a smaller scale you could use it to collect funds with friends and family when something special is about to happen.
For instance a birthday is about to come around and instead of all buying little bits, you would really love to group together and buy something more expensive, you know the recipient would really love. Now if you all live near each other and see each other on a regular basis, it’s easy, but what happens when you are all based around the country, or even around the world?
That is where a money collection service such as Leetchi comes into play. This clever little service allows you to create money pots and share the link with your friends and family for them to upload their own gifts to.
It of course also helps for raising funds for non-profits and larger projects, but to me this nifty way of collecting money between friends and family is perhaps the best of it.
So how to you spend your Leetchi funds?
Leetchi allow you to spend the money raised directly at a number of partner websites such as; Amazon, Codage, Wiine.me and more or withdraw directly to a bank account (however this option is subject to a fee of 2.9% for money pots over £2000 and 4% fee for money pots under £2000).
For me Leetchi, is definitely going to be a website I use through 2017 to help make group gift buying a lot easier and I can’t wait to see if they team up with some more partners, offering more places to spend your money for free!
What do you think of the sound of Leetchi, would you use it to group fund?

I didn’t know this kind of crowdfunding online. Imma check this out on how it works.
How interesting! This does sound like it would be helpful.
I’m a fan of this idea! I haven’t really looked at crowdfunding websites and I pretty much know nothing about them, I think it’s about time that I do!
This looks like a great idea, there are so many crowd funding apps out there but this one sounds like one I’d like to try.
I’ve never heard of this site, I often put money with family members etc to buy other relatives gifts but this sounds ideal specially with my brother living in Australia. Definatly something i will be looking into
It really is so good for that sort of thing – hope it helps you out 🙂 x
I think it is a great website. I could use it a lot!
Sounds like a greta way for people to pool money together for whatever reason. My sister lives abroad so getting her to shell out for anything when it comes to our parents is hell!
Oh no what a nightmare, I hope something like this perhaps helps a little. x
What a great way to combine money for a gift. This would be great for my moms birthday
I love this idea to crowd fund for specific personal stuff like gifts – we were asking family members for money for a new camera and doing something like this would have made it easier so we could spend it where we needed to and they didn’t have to get out cash or send cheques. Really great idea x
It’s such a great idea for situations like that isn’t it I was surprised that I hadn’t come across something like it before to be honest.
I’ve never heard of this before. I will keep it in mind for the future.
What a fantastic idea! Especially it comes to big family birthdays, or work colleagues leaving/baby/christmas presents. I will be trying this out in 2017 too x
Sounds like a good money collection service to help people club together! Might try it for my grandmas 60th x
What a brilliant way to crowd fund, will keep this website in mind for the future 🙂
I find crowdfunding so interesting – so many ways to connect and fundraise now!
It really is such an interesting way to connect with others and raise funds for all different things.
I’ve not heard of Leetchi yet but sounds like a brilliant tool to use with crowdfunding!!
It is such a good idea, I can see myself using it for birthdays for sure.
I have heard a lot about this brand in social media and I think it is a great idea.
It’s really interesting isn’t it – I love the fact it is aimed at smaller projects as well as the large.
I think it is such a good idea and it could make life so much easier with office gifts for sure x
Exactly definitely has it’s place to be well used 🙂
That sounds like a good idea. I must suggest using this when we collect for teachers gifts at school.
Definitely – I think it’s great for something like that, means everyone can get involved so easily.
I’ve only used it to donate to charity appeals, I didn’t realise it could be used for other things!
It’s so much more versatile than others I have come across 🙂
What a great idea and perfect for when you start a collection for someone x
Exactly it is so simple to use as well, I was really surprised and the fact you can exchange on a partner website without losing a penny is fab!
This is such a good idea for raising money for a present as you said if people are scattered all over the country x
It just makes the collecting so much easier, I normally use paypal but so many people turning away from it now this is a great alternative.
That sounds like a really great idea! I’ll keep this in mind the next time we’re planning a celebration
This is a really good idea – would be fab for collections for work leaving presents!
What a great idea, I like the sound of having a collection pot .Will definitely check out Leetchi.
It is really great, hope it helps you the future 🙂 x
I do like the idea of using this among my friends to collect money for a present or something else
