Is it legal to raise money for hosting a website?

[Austin]

I would like to host a social networking website, but need money. I want to use an online fundraising website to raise the money. The website I am trying to create is for Harry Potter fans. I was thinking that if Harry Potter fans want it to happen, they would donate. The only problem is that I don't know if it is legal to raise money like this. Will you all tell me if this is legal. What website or websites should I use? Thank you!

It is a social networking website, and the KickStarter guidelines said this: Kickstarter cannot be used to fund websites or apps focused on e-commerce, business, and social networking.
