In recent months, crowdfunding has emerged as a viable alternative financial vehicle for causes. It seems to work best on "non-traditional" organizations: business start-ups, creative projects, films, and social causes that don't come from NGO's.
Our panelists will share their stories of the ups and downs from running successful crowdfunding campaigns.
Local digital strategist Jason Mogus will share the 6 things he's observed on how to know whether crowdfunding is a fit for your campaign or idea, and if so how to make it succeed.
Jordan Bower will discuss the relationship between your crowdfunding campaign and your broader fundraising and digital communications strategy.
