About Us & FAQ’s
Our Mission: Amplify Every Voice
CrowdVertise democratizes advertising, empowering everyday people to turn ideas into impact. Founded in 2014 and relaunched in 2025, we’re a non-partisan platform where communities crowdfund and launch awareness campaigns – local clean-ups, social causes, creative visions—across TV, radio, billboards, digital, and beyond. In a media landscape dominated by big budgets, we level the field: No barriers, just collective action for diverse perspectives.
Why We Do This: Too often, bold ideas from neighborhoods, advocates, or innovators stay silent due to cost. We fix that by blending crowdfunding’s community spirit with pro media execution. Whether raising awareness for environmental wins or cultural shifts, your message gets heard—ethically, compliantly, and at scale. We’re for creators and supporters from all backgrounds, proving small contributions spark big change.

How does CrowdVertise make money?
Our cut is the standard 15% agency commission for the process of completing a paid media buy. Click here to see the steps it takes to turn your idea into a fundable campaign.
We are a platform for users of any political stance to share ideas with like-minded people to let your voices be heard. We all see censorship happening on self-proclaimed ‘platforms’ like YouTube, Facebook and others. These companies call themselves platforms, but many voices have their content filtered and deleted.
The Campaign Ideas on Crowdvertise are generated by you, the user. Users can be individuals, part of a group, a club, labor union, supporters a political party or movement, anything, it doesn’t matter.
At CrowdVertise.org, we are non-partisan, and are not for or against any issues. We will remain objective in our decisions on which campaign ideas to approve or deny. The criteria to determine which ads are approved will be based on the appropriateness of the creatives’ intended message.
Appropriateness is a very subjective word, so allow us to elaborate. We will deny creative that violates the advertising rules set forth by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC – click here for rules). Learn more about our approval criteria here.
What happens if I donate money and the campaign never launches?
If the campaign never launches, your contribution will be invested into building CrowdVertise.org.
