NewReleaseTuesday.com Unveils New Crowdfunding Feature
‘LaunchPad’ collects fan-powered Christian projects from around the Internet; allows users to submit projects they discover
Orange County, CA – The largest Christian music and entertainment site online, NewReleaseTuesday.com, in partnership with faith-based crowdfunding website FaithLauncher.com, has unveiled a new site feature that connects fans with the projects that need their help. LaunchPad, as the site feature is called, displays Christian music and media crowdfunding projects from a number of platforms, providing fans an exclusive one-stop shop for finding these initiatives.
NewReleaseTuesday.com and FaithLauncher.com are part of the FrontGate Web Network.
“From Kickstarter to Indiegogo to Fundrazr and now FaithLauncher, there are so many different crowdfunding platforms, which is really exciting,” said NewReleaseTuesday.com Founder Kevin McNeese. “The problem is knowing what’s out there and finding it in time. Instead of getting lost in the shuffle, Christian crowdfunding projects now are more accessible to the fans than ever, thanks to NewReleaseTuesday’s LaunchPad.”
Not only does the staff of NewReleaseTuesday.com keep up on the highest profile crowdfunding projects for LaunchPad, but users have the ability to post Christian campaigns including music, film, books and other media through a simple, one-page form in their free NRTeam account.
“The strength of NewReleaseTuesday.com is our community,” McNeese noted. “Just as many projects are crowdfunded these days, much of our industry-leading information is crowd-sourced. We trust the knowledge of the Christian entertainment fans to help us share the great campaigns out there.”
LaunchPad also features content from FaithLauncher—the new crowdfunding platform for faith-based projects—who sponsors the new feature. People interested in starting crowdfunding campaigns of their own may access FaithLauncher’s sign-up page on LaunchPad.
“We are excited about our partnership with NewReleaseTuesday.com as we share a great passion for Christian entertainment and strong desire to advance the Christian artist community,” said FaithLauncher Founder/CEO Fernando Chavez. “We are well positioned to do this at FaithLauncher, as we not only provide them a platform to obtain funding, but we also provide them direct coaching and actively promote their projects to their core audience.”
