Crowdfunding is a means of obtaining funding for ideas for new businesses and products that has been developing faster and faster since 2006 (reward crowdfunding). But it can also be used for funding social, humanitarian and charity projects (donation crowdfunding). Here, ECO123 presents one or more selected projects that are looking for funding.<\/em><\/p>\n

A crowdfunding project describes exactly what it is about. It is often combined with a film that introduces the maker and project visually. A business plan explains exactly who wants to finance what, as well as how, why, where and for how long. In general, there is a precisely defined period of between 30 and 90 days. The desired amount of capital is then financed by the crowd in lots of small payments \u2013 or not, as the case may be.<\/em><\/p>\n

Every crowdfunder, or investor, receives a reward for their investment, or perhaps just thanks for their altruism. All the money is earmarked for a specific purpose. The crowdfunding platform acts as the mediator and verifying institution and receives a 5% commission if a project is successfully financed. If a project does not obtain its financing within the defined period, the mediator receives nothing and all money is repaid to the crowd.<\/em><\/p>\n

One exception are the \u201cCausas\u201d projects at www.ppl.com.pt<\/a>, which are treated as social projects by Orange Bird Lda., the company responsible for the crowdfunding platform PPL. No matter how much money is gathered in these cases, investors may decide individually whether their contribution is made unconditionally, or is conditional on the project being fully financed. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Now to today\u2019s project Dare-to-care<\/a><\/p>\n

Based in Linda-A-Velha, Lisbon and Porto, GO HUMANITARIAN<\/strong> is a project that receives donations of money and goods for the Idomenim camp (on the border between Greece and Macedonia) for refugees who have fled from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. This is for follow-on funding after \u20ac9,500 was raised in the first crowdfunding campaign. The project itself works with four or five voluntary staff on site. They come from quite different professional backgrounds:<\/p>\n

<\/i>\n\t\t\t\nThe project GO HUMANITARIAN is a charitable association from Linda-A-Velha. The helpers on the ground replace each other every month. Their main jobs include distributing clothing to refugees, building and repairing tents, drainage work, preparing meals and medical assistance. To provide the follow-on funding, Go HUMANITARIAN is looking for 2,000 euros. This sum and the crowdfunding campaign are intended to raise awareness and draw attention to the situation, because much more than \u20ac2,000 euros will be needed. Donations of between one and 50 euros are requested by 12th April via the PPL website:\u00a0 www.ppl.com.pt\/pt\/causas\/dare-to-care<\/a>. \n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
