Crowdfunding Fundraising Tips - Link
It’s a great time to be a grassroots fundraiser. The Internet, online social networks, fiscal sponsorship, and an uptick in enthusiasm for DIY projects of all kinds mean that, in many ways, it’s easier for individuals to raise money now than ever before. That said, this is also an age of information deluge, and it can be tricky to weed through all the fundraising ideas out there to find what will work best for you.
ioby is all about helping people get their neighborhood projects off the ground, and that includes a lot of fundraising. We’ve compiled our top fundraising ideas into a handy list.
