LAUNCHING A CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN?
Now that you have a better understanding of what crowdfunding is and what it can do, let's look at an example of a crowdfunding campaign in action.
SimplyRaise works with the organization First Descents and its online fundraising platform, Team FD (http://firstdescents.org/team-fd). The mission of First Descents is to provide outdoor challenge and adventure experiences free of charge to young adults cancer fighters and survivors. Team FD uses crowdfunding campaigns to give anyone the opportunity to fundraise for First Descents and support its programs in a meaningful way - mainly by challenging themselves. Team FD members commit individually or as a group to an athletic challenge, whether it be a 5K, an Ironman, or anything in between, and set a fundraising goal around completing that challenge.
