Can I fund a project anonymously on Kickstarter?

Asked 2 years ago
When it comes to funding projects on Kickstarter, the platform does not support anonymous funding. Each backer must create an account and provide their personal information to make a pledge. This is because Kickstarter aims to foster transparency and accountability between creators and backers. While backers’ names and pledge amounts are displayed to the project creators, they are not publicly visible to others outside the project. This means that while your funding is not fully anonymous, your personal details are kept private to a certain extent. If privacy is a major concern, backers might consider reaching out directly to the project creator through the Kickstarter platform regarding any specific wishes for anonymity. For further details about privacy settings and information, it is advisable to check the general information available on the Kickstarter website.
