Subject: Question about links to funding

So I've just made a pledge on Indiegogo for a project I think is genuinely awesome and deserves to be made real.
And I think to myself, 'Hey, the PPC is full of people who appreciate awesome; I should go tell them'. Also, if we tilt our heads and squint, the project is kinda-sorta relevant for PPC interests.
I'm not necessarily looking to get people to donate, although that of course would be nice. It's just as much about saying 'hey, this cool project is out there' and then people can go 'neat!' and go on doing what they were doing.

But then I suddenly realised that I don't know whether it is even permissible or not. I have seen links to petitions, but I can't recall ever seeing one to a Kickstarter or Indiegogo. (Then again, I am the supreme lord of scatterbrains. Quite possibly there was two last week and I simply overlooked them.)
Maybe I'm overthinking this, but I thought I'd go and ask before doing something stupid.

*looks back at post* I sure do use a lot of words today.

TLDR: Is there a policy on posting links to fundraising projects? Is there a total ban, a they-have-to-be-relevant-to-the-PPC-policy (which I think my link might just fall under) or are we allowed to post them if we feel like it?
