Crowdfunding for organisations

What is crowdfunding?

• Individuals coming together to support and fund projects by other individuals or organisations.
• A campaign can be to gather donations, obtain loans, raise your profile, offer equity, test and idea or product with your market or build an active supportive community for your organisation.
• An empowering alternative to grant applications.
• It can be for a variety of purposes – getting a project off the ground; refurbishing a building; financing a film or exhibition or funding a startup company or small business.
