Every now and again, we like to update you on some currently active crowdfunding campaigns around town. Here’s what’s going on right now:

— The Pittsburgh Public Market is in the final days of a Kickstarter drive to raise the remaining $10,000 needed to finish construction of a $600,000 commercial-grade kitchen, which culinary entrepreneurs can rent hourly. You can read more about the fund drive — which ends Thu., July 31 — in tomorrow’s City Paper. Donor rewards include brunches and cooking classes.

— The folks behind PittPunk.com are crowdfunding a Punk Rock Prom — basically a dance, on a boat, for adults. But also for people under 21. With punk rock. Who doesn’t like dancing on a boat?!

— Some folks are raising money to start a local Greek yogurt business: Naturi would use organic milk from grass-fed cows. You probably won’t see John Stamos at the launch party, but it still sounds pretty tasty.

— The Pittsburgh Jazz Wax Museum, featured in last week’s CP, hasn’t gotten too close to its goal yet, but there’s still a week to go — why not give it a push?
