LOS ANGELES, Jan. 18, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Faithfunder.com, a new funding web site tailored to the meet the needs of the Christian market launched its site. Faithfunder.com offers a secure online community that encourages collaboration allowing individuals or groups to post projects and raise funding. Projects include everything from creative endeavors and missions trips to noble causes and entrepreneurial ventures. Funders peruse projects and can donate after viewing the video "pitch" and selecting a "spiff". The spiffs are small tokens of appreciation that might include anything from a credit on a movie to a signed original piece of artwork. Project categories that users can choose from include animation, film, culinary, dance, church related, causes, fashion, missions, music, technology and others.

Faithfunder is not an investment site and project owners retain 100% ownership in their projects. "The faith based market has always been one of the most generous segments of society, traditionally believing in the power of the tithe and ascribing to the laws of sowing and reaping," said Lisa Butkiewicz, founder of Faithfunder.com. "This is a way for individuals from around the globe to support the ventures of like-minded individuals. It's a fun way to give and to receive and to be involved in creative projects and amazing causes." Members can follow the progress of any project through blogs and updates.

The faith-based community is encouraged to sign onto the site and post their projects. There is no cap on the amount that can be raised. It can be $500 for a missions trip or $50,000 plus for a film project. Project owners are encouraged to build a fan base and gain support through churches, local communities and social networking sites.

Faithfunder is a non-profit 501-c3 organization that allows donors to select from a variety of charities to earmark a portion of their donation to support other ministries such as Teen Challenge and the Los Angeles Dream Center.
