    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.

  • Raising Capital from the Community Alternative Capital Development Through Crowdfunding
    Raising Capital from the Community Alternative Capital Development through Crowdfunding November 2013 Green For All - Business Accelerator Program greenforall.org/resources Acknowledgments © Green For All 2013 Written by Jessica Leigh Green for All would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for their contributions to this guide: Jenny Kassan, Cutting Edge Capital; Brahm Ahmadi, People’s Community Market; Justin Renfro, Kiva Zip; Joanna De Leon, Triple Green Custom Print Developers; Ben Bateman, Indi- egogo; Lisa Curtis, Kuli Kuli; Erin Barnes, ioby; Helen Ho, Biking Public Project, Recycle-a-Bicycle Other parties that helped in the preparation of this report: Jeremy Hays and Khary Dvorak-Ewell RAISING CAPITAL FROM THE COMMUNITY Green For All Business Accelerator Program Introduction Community Capital Today’s economy brings new capital development challenges for the small businesses that drive green innova- tion and strengthen our neighborhoods. Obtaining traditional financing from banks has become increasingly prohibitive. Venture capital funds and angel investors seek businesses that provide fast growth and high re- turns. Cultivating a sustainable small business that prioritizes people and the environment generally does not lend itself to these conditions. A recent survey by the National Small Business Association (NSBA) found that nearly half of small-business respondents said they needed funds and were unable to find any willing sources, be it loans, credit cards or investors.1 Additionally, the novelty of small green businesses makes them more risky and less appealing for traditional sources of capital. Environmentally focused entrepreneurs often have little choice but to compromise their mission or the direction of their company in an attempt to secure financing.

  • REWARD-BASED CROWDFUNDING for CREATIVE PROJECTS by Aiste Juozaponyte 1548985 GRADUATION ASSIGNMENT SUBMITTED in PARTIAL FULFILLM
    REWARD-BASED CROWDFUNDING FOR CREATIVE PROJECTS BY Aiste Juozaponyte 1548985 GRADUATION ASSIGNMENT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF COMMUNICATION- SYSTEMS OF THE INSTITUTE OF COMMUNICATION AT THE UTRECHT UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES UTRECHT, 2012 06 04 Management summary Crowdfunding is an emerging phenomenon that is taking the idea of investment into a new and never before seen level. Organizations and individuals find themselves achiev- ing successful results by relying on widely dispersed individuals rather than professional investors. The main aim of this thesis centers on potentials for non-professional creative individuals to use reward-based crowdfunding. The theoretical framework defines crowdfunding practice and gives an overview of how it emerged from another nascent term - crowdsourcing. Reward-based crowdfunding, as the focus of this study, is explained in greater detail by observing one of the most popular platforms for creative projects called Kickstarter. In addition, this chapter highlights that the crowd is playing a leading role in crowdfunding initiatives. Participating individuals are part of a community where conver- gence and collaboration take place. Furthermore, theory suggests that reward-based crowdfunding is not solely focused on economic aspects, as social attributes are shaping the scope of activities and goals. Conducted qualitative research confirms that several potentials are current for non- professional creative individuals to use reward-based crowdfunding model as researched on Kickstarter. Not only can they raise funding, but also gain significant public attention for their projects presented on Kickstarter. An appealing and transparent communication approach should be implemented, such as defining goals using S.M.A.R.T.

  • FUNDING HATE How White Supremacists Raise Their Money
    How White Supremacists FUNDING HATE Raise Their Money 1 RESPONDING TO HATE FUNDING HATE INTRODUCTION 1 SELF-FUNDING 2 ORGANIZATIONAL FUNDING 3 CRIMINAL ACTIVITY 9 THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: CROWDFUNDING 10 BITCOIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCIES 11 THE FUTURE OF WHITE SUPREMACIST FUNDING 14 2 RESPONDING TO HATE How White Supremacists FUNDING HATE Raise Their Money It’s one of the most frequent questions the Anti-Defamation League gets asked: WHERE DO WHITE SUPREMACISTS GET THEIR MONEY? Implicit in this question is the assumption that white supremacists raise a substantial amount of money, an assumption fueled by rumors and speculation about white supremacist groups being funded by sources such as the Russian government, conservative foundations, or secretive wealthy backers. The reality is less sensational but still important. As American political and social movements go, the white supremacist movement is particularly poorly funded. Small in numbers and containing many adherents of little means, the white supremacist movement has a weak base for raising money compared to many other causes. Moreover, ostracized because of its extreme and hateful ideology, not to mention its connections to violence, the white supremacist movement does not have easy access to many common methods of raising and transmitting money. This lack of access to funds and funds transfers limits what white supremacists can do and achieve. However, the means by which the white supremacist movement does raise money are important to understand. Moreover, recent developments, particularly in crowdfunding, may have provided the white supremacist movement with more fundraising opportunities than it has seen in some time. This raises the disturbing possibility that some white supremacists may become better funded in the future than they have been in the past.

  • Access to Capital Directory
    State of Nevada Department of Business and Industry Access to Capital Resource Directory Page | 1 GRANTS Government grants are funded by your tax dollars and, therefore, require very stringent compliance and reporting measures to ensure the money is well spent. Grants from the Federal government are authorized and appropriated through bills passed by Congress and signed by the President. The grant authority varies widely among agencies. Some business grants are available through state and local programs, nonprofit organizations and other groups. These grants are not necessarily free money, and usually require the recipient to match funds or combine the grant with other forms of financing such as a loan. The amount of the grant money available varies with each business and each grantor. Below are some resources to grant searches and specific grant opportunities: Program/Sponsor Product Details Contact Information There is a loan/grant search tool (Access Business.usa.gov Financing Wizard).
