Berkeley CrowdfundingBerkelely Crowdfunding Using the UC Berkeley's Crowdfunding platform, students, student organizations, faculty, staff members, and/or researchers crowdfund their project or initiative. This includes:
--Providing all of the materials required for their crowdfunding page (the project description, the video, the perks, bios of the team, images, and the budget breakdown).
--The team is responsible for the majority of fundraising. You need to reach out to your networks and encourage donations.
--Creating promotional and marketing materials before, during, and after the campaign.
--Teams work with the Crowdfunding Manager as a resource for best practices and developing materials and outreach strategy.		--Eligible Projects: Are affiliated with UC Berkeley and non-profit in nature; have a sponsoring Berkeley department, program or center, in which donations can be deposited into; consist of project leaders that are willing to create and market promotion materials before, during and after the campaign; and gain approval by submitting an application and project pitch before the next round’s deadline.
--Successful Projects: Tend to be community impact-driven as donors love to give to people and know that they are helping others – so if a project has a great social impact, it is typically more successful; tangible and specific crowdfunding projects do very well when a team can breakdown and explain their project or activity budget in detail (say for equipment, etc.) as donors love to see exactly what their donations will provide; projects and activities involving 5 or more people tend to be more successful as they can connect to more possible donors.
--Not Allowed: Projects and activities that raise money for other non-profits.
