When you decide to support a fundraiser, there are a variety of methods to get compensated for your support.  It might be the simple joy of knowing you helped someone or having the opportunity to witness something come to life and say, “I helped.”  If you support a writer, you may also receive exclusive content such as an exclusive newsletter or an autographed book.  Artists frequently give a discount on a piece of art or other benefits. If you invest in a company, you may receive stock or equity in exchange.
