#CROWD CAPITAL

Many players of the economy have made pledges in order to offset the negative effects of the COVID pandemic and the quarantine. The Crowd Capital Indicator operated by tokeportal.hu measures the publicly offered donations and services every day since 28th February 2020 and evaluates them in accordance with its disclosed methodology. They contacted the donors and publish numerous interviews about the pledges.

The majority of the 604 donors are for-profit ventures, but there are also some exemplary co-operations of civil organisations and corporations. Examples for such co-operations are the one between Gyermekhíd Foundation and Uniqua or the one between the Association of Innovative Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, Telekom Hungary and Samsung Hungary. The purpose of these co-operations was to provide underprivileged children with digital devices.
Dozens of individuals and self-employed professionals have made their pledge to help the fight against the pandemic. Among them Judit Varga, the Minister of Justice of Hungary supported the Foundation for the Patients, Doctors and Employees of the Szent László and Szent István Hospitals. Moreover, famous sportsmen made their pledge: Dániel Gyurta, Katinka Hosszú, Anita Görbicz, Norbert Michelisz. We even know about taxi drivers who provided free transportation for healthcare professionals.
