- Breanna talked about getting to see the idea for Miss Possible- dolls for kids that portray real pioneering women- develop from a concept to a real doll and an interactive website through its campaign.
- Maybe you saw #ILookLikeAnEngineer on Twitter or Instagram when it went viral in 2015. Its creators decided to take it offline, and raise funds for a billboard to normalize the idea of women in engineering.
- App Camp for Girls ran campaigns in 2013 and 2015 to fund a camp for girls to learn how to design and develop iPhone apps with women developers and designers. The camp has expanded from Portland, Oregon to Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia.
- These are just a tiny sampling of campaigns focused on girls and women. There are new campaigns all the time. Check out Indiegogo's Celebration of Female Entrepreneurs and read more about how they support women-led and focused campaigns.

When she was 11, Breanna DiGiammarino danced in the Nutcracker with the Joffrey Ballet. Later she used her passion for dance as a benchmark for any interest she was pursuing, and asked herself four questions: Is it something I enjoy? Am I good at it? Am I learning while I do it? And is it changing the world for the better? Does her job as the Senior Director of Social Innovation at crowd-funding platform Indiegogo meet those criteria? “Definitely.”
