Crowdfunding allows violent extremist supporters to quickly raise money from people around the world, often through social media or donation platforms. Some may pretend to raise funds for humanitarian aid, while actually supporting extremist causes. In some cases, the campaign organizers themselves are linked to violent extremist groups.
For example, Saint Michael’s Choir from Bosnia and Herzegovina raises funds through identity-based networks and crowdfunding, with details for donations available on their Facebook page.32
