Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is 2A Crowd?
2A Crowd is a free guide to crowdfunding for the 2A and conservative community — the kinds of crowdfunding, how to run and promote a campaign, and how to choose a platform. When you are ready to raise money, you can start a fundraiser on 2a.support.
What is the difference between donation, rewards and equity crowdfunding?
Donation crowdfunding raises gifts with nothing promised in return; rewards crowdfunding gives backers a product, perk or pre-order; equity crowdfunding sells an ownership stake or other security in a business. Equity crowdfunding is regulated securities activity and must run through an SEC-registered funding portal or broker-dealer.
Does 2A Crowd offer investments?
No. 2A Crowd explains how equity crowdfunding works for education only and never offers, sells or recommends securities. Anyone considering an investment or an equity raise should work with a securities attorney and a registered funding portal or broker-dealer.
How do I start a fundraiser?
Start a fundraiser on 2a.support, our fundraising platform: create an account, build your page and share it. Our campaign playbook walks you through setting a goal, telling your story and launching.
Are crowdfunding donations taxable or tax-deductible?
It depends on who is raising the money, why, and whether the recipient is a qualified charity — gifts to individuals are generally not tax-deductible for donors. Ask a tax professional about your situation before you launch.
How do I keep my campaign from being taken down?
Read the platform's terms of service and its payment processor's rules before you launch, keep your campaign truthful and specific, and use the money exactly as you said you would. Choosing a platform whose policies you understand matters as much as the fees.
