now two months ago from Engineers Without Borders ApD and from the Foundation Adsis guinea pig we offered to launch a crowdfunding experience (funding by mass) of the labor Hazloposible and Lansana.
We offered to present a project, and an economic objective which was between 2,000 and 3,000 euros. Two days ago we achieve the objective, and now James Albaigès asks me to tell what has been the experience. ISF ApD
From the presented as a project to build three water points in Tanzania , for which we recorded a two-minute video the program manager.
features of the proposal were, therefore:
- Goal: $ 3,000
- Term: 2 months
- Maximum donation of one person: $ 1,000
- Condition: if there is no the goal, not running
- Payment: paypal and the past two weeks, and you can pay by credit card
Diffusion
To achieve maximum dissemination of the project and make donations and has been helpful messages released through their profiles on twitter or facebook several people linked to Hazloposible addition to their own institutional profiles and people linked to ISF ApD with presence in social networks.
This sounds obvious, it is also important to note that for the dissemination of such experiences is critical that the organization already has a constant presence in social networks.
Who were the donors?
As some of the donors used pseudonyms, we find it difficult to know exactly where they came from many of the 78 donors , but rough estimates between 60% and 70% are people connected to ISF ApD as members or volunteers. Rating
The goal was ambitious. In organizations where the social base is not familiar with new technologies, social networks, etc, it is difficult to spread these projects. ISF ApD
we
In two thirds of the objective (2,000 of 3,000 euros) and 950 euros that came directly from a grant channeled through Lansana.
The fact that from Lansana put a cap on individual donations is that the goal is to many small donations rather than few large ones. Anyway, if you need some money for the purpose, it is normal for the person / entity promoting the project put what is needed to keep the donations made so far. And it was what we did in ISF ApD.
The fact that the principle could only pay with paypal was a brake, as there were many who did not fully understand the PayPal system (despite being one of the most popular online payment). Fortunately, you can pay by credit card.
still do not know the most common amounts of all donations, although the data that we should be around 20-25 euros .
