What is a Moneybomb?
Moneybomb is a neologism coined in 2007 to describe a fundraising effort over a brief fixed time period by dramatically increasing, concentrating, and publicizing fundraising activity during a specific hour or day. The effort combines traditional and Internet-based fundraising appeals focusing especially on viral advertising through online vehicles such as Twitter, Facebook, and online forums. Moneybombs have been used for grassroots fundraising and viral campaigns over the Internet by several presidential candidates in the United States. The moneybomb continues to emerge as an important tool to generate funds for specific goals.
