Wonderfunders is an international nonprofit endeavor that seeks to provide valuable benefits to the independent comics, graphic novel, and English language manga producing community.
We seek to institute these benefits by providing an Internet portal to foment collaboration, stabilize business transactions, provide a platform for members to seek crowdfunding in support of their projects, provide education and certification in vital industry professions, establish and maintain an industry directory of individuals and other entities engaged in the business of the production of these works with a comprehensive rating system, Provide third party mediation in the event of dispute between members or between members and nonmembers as it relates to the industry, and to provide various features that promote community interaction such as forums, galleries, chat, newsletters and other features that serve this end. Basic membership is free, but donations are encouraged if the members utilize some of the services, and the escrow service is subject to the fees of the 3rd party business with which Wonderfunders is affiliated. Wonderfunders hopes to derive it's operating budget through advertising, grants, and member donations.
