Kickstarter Introduces ‘Tariff Manager Tool’ to Add Charges to Already Fully Funded Projects | Kickstarter projects have the option of asking backers for more money in order to manage the costs of Trump’s tariffs.


Kickstarter projects have the option of asking backers for more money in order to manage the costs of Trump’s tariffs.

Here’s an easy to understand example of how Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported products have completely screwed small U.S. businesses and entrepreneurs: the crowdfunding site Kickstarter is introducing a “Tariff Manager tool” that will allow creators to add extra charges to projects that were already fully funded in order to deal with the higher and unexpected costs of the president’s global trade war. “Over the past few weeks, we’ve been hard at work developing tariff-relevant resources to support our community. Our focus has been supporting you through uncertain times, but we also know that information alone isn’t always enough,” Kickstarter said in a published last week announcing the Tariff Manager tool.
