Background:

#upfundme has grown into a community supporting each other to achieve their dreams by attaining funding via the STEEM blockchain. It started out as an idea from a few friends trying to figure out a way to use steem to crowdfund an xbox one to stream on dlive (He still doesn't have a good enough internet connection to stream), now it is used by more steemians every day to fund everything including healthcare, tree planting projects, shared internet connection access for steemians, drones to capture stunning images to be shared on steemit and many more projects and goals.

Goals:

Support #upfundme crowdfunding community on steemit.com, busy.org and other STEEM front ends allowing #upfundme via upvotes and resteems.
Support crowdfunds on fundition.io with saved heart power.
Power up the @upfundme account to help fund app creation.
Promote awareness for blockchain crowdfunding (Fundition, hyperfundit and UpFundMe) by a paid social media ad campaign.

@upfundme community funding trails:

We have a growing community of users who automatically back projects we back because they believe in STEEM crowdfunding solutions. This can dramatically increase the amount of backers for your project and get you funded faster. The extra backers (or upvotes on the STEEM blockchain) also draw attention to your crowdfund across other STEEM front ends like busy.org and steemit.com.

This branch of UpFundMe is operated by @taskmanager.
