Crowd Funding!

A brief on crowd funding for voluntary arts and crafts groups from Voluntary Arts.

At its heart, crowdfunding is a really simple concept – showcasing your group’s activities online to attract small donations from a large ‘crowd’ of followers… and offering unique rewards in return for their support.

One of the major benefits of crowdfunding is it allows you to build a two-way relationship with your supporters – you are asking the funder to support a specific project and get something valuable in return, rather than to donate to your organisation in the conventional way. As such, crowdfunding can be a great way to raise money for experimental, small arts projects.
