# 2A Crowd

> 2A Crowd is a plain-English guide to crowdfunding for the 2A and conservative community — donation, rewards and equity crowdfunding explained, how to plan, launch and promote a campaign, choosing a platform you can count on, and what to do after the money comes in. Educational only — not legal, tax or investment advice, and never an offer of securities.

2A Crowd is an independent directory. People describe what they are looking for; the platform matches them with independent fundraising pros. Content is educational only — not professional advice. Part of the R0cketShip network.
