Thread: Crowdfunding websites?

Not sure exactly what you are looking for here. A loan or donation?

If is for people to donate you need someone good at marketing the request to those who would be inclined to give. Done right and with a clearly set out objective and reason why it can work. Consider what the total costs are including marketing which will be an additional cost then you can make an informed choice as you know what you are risking financially.

Loans can also work have seen loans for a couple of thousand to millions organised via crowd funding. Need to understand the particular organisation you are approaching as each crowd funding organiser had a market they cater for. Once again there are costs so make sure you understand all of them before making a decision

Just spend time getting yourself registered as a non profit first, you don't want to get taxed like crazy etc. Talk to your accountant etc.

But indiegogo, Pozible, ozcrowd

Kris here.

I have used gofund.me before, and have found it pretty easy to use. Unlike crowdfunders like Kickstarter, money pledged is given to you regardless as to whether you hit your target goal.

They do take a small commission (although I can't remember how much it is off the top of my head, something like 3%?) Money appears in your nominated count by 7 days.

Looks like I found one we are going to use: chuffed.org


On the plus side we just got a grant from maccas

Mainly just looking at donations from people in the community that would like to see the venture go ahead.

Approach local supermarket or Bunnings if you have one and organise a sausage sizzle?

Towns a little small for a bunnings☺

Tom Price? - won't Rio Tinto kick the can a bit?
