Abstract
Crowdfunding is an innovative, creative tool of distance collaborative funding, which can galvanise an optimal number of people to various potentials, including education. The aim is to understand crowdfunding and its implementation in Portugal, focusing on successful projects and exploring its potential use in literacy and educational projects, as an alternative to resources perceived as ‘classical'. Successful Portuguese projects in education are still underused and under-reported, despite being great allies to innovative, creative educational entrepreneurs requiring swift responses in a post-pandemic future. Is crowdfunding a way to change education?
