Crowdfunding: Best Fundraising Practices

Over the past eight years, crowdfunding has become a significant trend in the nonprofit sector, and many organizations still yearn to crack the crowdfunding code. NPQ has covered this funding model with articles about possible fraud, as well as benefits and specific tactics. Like social media, crowdfunding isn’t going away, and reports on successes, along with some how-to’s from expert sources, give nonprofits a good idea about whether this platform is really worth it.

This recent The Globe and Mail article describes how artists and writers are gaining crowdfunding ground with “under the radar” projects that appeal to a niche audience. One Toronto-based writer said that she supported people whose work is highly relevant to her values.
