This study examines how crowdfunding platforms hosting social entrepreneurship projects establish and maintain legitimacy. Through analyzing three intermediaries, it explores actions taken to foster trust among creators and funders, positioning crowdfunding as a credible alternative finance option. It reveals that legitimacy attributed to a project's social or environmental goals extends to intermediaries, portraying them as agents of social change. The study also outlines practical implications, emphasizing mechanisms to mitigate risks for intermediaries, creators, and funders, thereby enhancing trust in crowdfunding.
