    Crowdfunding: Kickstarting Your Enterprise or Non-profit Through Online Fundraising HKS Communications Program Tuesday, October 17, 2017 What is crowdfunding? "The practice of funding a project or venture by raising many small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the Internet" (Forbes). Online crowdfunding has existed since 1997, but the term "crowdfunding" wasn't coined until 2006 and didn't become popular until Kickstarter was founded in 2009. What kinds of projects can be crowdfunded? Any kind! From launching a new mobile app to a new restaurant, publishing a book to a website, expanding a non-profit to paying a child's hospital bills, crowdfunding can (and has!) been used to fund all these projects and more. Can anyone crowdfund? Yes, but not everyone is successful: 64% of all Kickstarters fail. Of those that succeed, most were seeking less than $10,000 in funding. It helps to have either a reputation—you've been working in this industry for a while and have a proven track record for bringing projects to completion—or a prototype—a demonstration of the final product, whether it's a chapter of a book, a trailer for a movie, or a smaller event that could be made bigger. What crowdfunding platform should I use? There are over 500 crowdfunding platforms, with the biggest ones being Kickstarter, Indiegogo, GoFundMe, and Patreon. Which one you choose is largely determined by what kind of project you're running and how much money you need: • Kickstarter requires all its projects fall into one of these categories: Art, Comics, Crafts, Dance, Design, Fashion, Film & Video, Food, Games, Journalism, Music, Photography, Publishing, Technology, and Theater.

  • Investing in Artists Bay Area Ally Fund Matching Grant Program Donor Interview Questions
    INVESTING IN ARTISTS BAY AREA ALLY FUND MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM DONOR INTERVIEW QUESTIONS Introduction Hello. Thank you for taking the time for this call. Before I get started, I’d like to share a brief explanation for this call and the Center for Cultural Innovation’s research. I am _____ (name and title at CCI). CCI supports individual artists, and we are always interested in learning about why and how donors support artists. We recognize that there are generational and technological shifts, namely new online giving platforms, that may be affecting how artists raise money, and to this end, we are talking with donors of artists that are non‐family members to learn about how new environmental factors may (or may not) be influencing your giving. I have 13 questions, and I have planned for this call to take no more than 30 minutes. [Facilitator Note: Do not exceed time allotted. If the interviewee seems to want to go longer, that’s fine. BUT, if you haven’t gotten to the end and time is up, please conclude to stay on time.] Also, please know that CCI will not share your name, your giving amount(s), or to whom you donated in any way with the artist, our funders, or anyone else. Your participation is anonymous and any responses we use will be aggregated without attribution to you. In other words, outside of the artist who referred you, your participation is confidential. Do you have any questions before I start? General Questions 1. In general, how many times a year do you make a charitable donation? (Prompt: None, 1‐2, half a dozen, over a dozen) 2.

  • Here Too the Gods Are Present Ethos Building on Patreon.Com
    Örebro University School of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences Here too the gods are present Ethos building on patreon.com Independent project Rhetoric Spring semester 2017 Supervisor: Anders Eriksson Author: Marcus Schmidt Abstract This essay studies the rhetorical situation of the crowdfunding site Patreon.com, with a particular focus on the construction of ethos. Taking off from the conception of ethos as a discursive dwelling place, the study analyzes five Patreon pages and the self-promotional practices associated with each page. It concludes that there are different ways of negotiating the implicit and explicit expectations that go along with setting up and maintaining a presence on a crowdfunding site – not least with regards to the relationship between ethos and ethics.

  • COVID-19 Content Resource Guide for Artists
    COVID-19 Content Resource Guide for Artists Ever resourceful and creative, artists are experimenting with new ways of generating income during the COVID-19 pandemic, which is having a great impact on the arts industry. We expect more resources, innovations, and strategies will emerge as the situation evolves. At present, the most common and accessible strategies we see artists using to connect with audiences and generate income are (1) producing virtual concerts and lessons that audiences can tip or buy a “virtual ticket” to experience; (2) establishing subscription-based services on such platforms as Patreon; and (3) establishing online stores through their own website or online marketplaces such sources as Etsy. This resource guide contains tips and tricks for DIY video recording and some of the options available to artists interested in using these strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Video Recording 101 ........................................................... 3 Smart Phone Video Recording 101: Tips and Tricks ........................... 4 Content Strategies ............................................................. 8 The Subscription Model ..................................................... 9 Facebook / YouTube / Instagram Livestreams ............................... 10 Livestreaming 101 .............................................................. 11 Streaming Applications .................................................... 12 Payment ................................................................... 13 A Note on Collaboration and Community ................................. 14 2 VIDEO RECORDING 101 Recording video is an art form of its own, and one that can take years of training and practice to perfect, but this handy guide will give you some easy ways to make sure your home-recorded video is high-enough quality to share with your fans!

  • Case Study - Patreon.Com Case: Patreon.Com Is a Website That Enables Artists to Connect with Their Fans to Get Support
    Case study - patreon.com Case: Patreon.com is a website that enables artists to connect with their fans to get support. The main idea is that fans pledge to sponsor their favourite artists with a given amount of money per created work. Therefore, the site aims at building longer relationships between artists and fans and allow artists to have a stable income over the long-term. Task: First read about your case using the provided links. Please use your devices to contribute to the group work. Once you have a good understanding of your case, analyse it using the following guiding questions: • What problem/need does the case address? • What community, values and norms does it build on? Is it creating a new community or building on a pre-existing one? • What resources is it dealing with? • How is management organised? Are democratic structures in place? • Is the distribution of resources and responsibilities fair? • Is the production, distribution and management efficient? • Is the commons organised in a sustainable manner? Can the project survive in the long term? You should present your conclusions in the form of a theatre/short play. Anything is possible, you can make a reportage, interview, a press release or conference, or anything else you come up with. Be creative, your presentation may be filmed ;). You have 50 minutes for this task.

We have been around for 260 years and, as the world has changed many times over, so has our account of progress and the contribution that we might make to it. Tonight I am speaking to the latest account, a new worldview and mission. We call it The Power to Create. My argument is that we are at the cusp of an unprecedented opportunity: Powerful social and technological changes mean that we can now realistically commit to the aspiration that every citizen should live a creative life. But this major step in human progress will not happen unless we are able to identify and seek to remove the high barriers that currently stand in our way. The creative life So what do I mean by a creative life? Creativity is a slippery concept. The first definition offered by Google is 'the use of imagination or new ideas to create something' .

  • Equity-Based Crowdfunding: Potential Implications for Small Business Capital by Ryan Taylor, Regulatory Economist
    Issue Brief Advocacy: the voice of small business in government ISSUE BRIEF NUMBER 5 Equity-based Crowdfunding: Potential Implications for Small Business Capital BY RYAN TAYLOR, REGULATORY ECONOMIST Overview For small business owners and entrepreneurs to build, grow, and support their business, it takes capital, and today, many of these individuals are choosing alternative forms of capital. One popular avenue is crowdfund- ing. “Crowdfunding systems enable users to make investments in various types of projects and ventures, often in small amounts, outside of a regulated exchange, using online social media platforms that facilitate direct interaction between investors as well as with the individual(s) raising funds.”1 There are three basic types of crowdfunding. Money is given in exchange for a clearly defined good (reward), a piece of the venture (equity), or a loan agreement (peer-to-peer). Typically, these three types of crowdfunding occur on different types of websites or platforms. Today, crowdfunding is steadily reaching critical mass as it is now estimated to be worth $3 billion to $5 billion worldwide.2 Despite the growth of crowdfunding in the alternative lending landscape, one major crowdfunding method re- mains untapped. Equity-based crowdfunding was created under Title III of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act (2012), but the rule under Title III is still being written at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to expand the ability for entrepreneurs to sell equity to prospective investors online.
