Thank you for encouraging article.
I have one experience with fundraising for my friend from Zambia. I didn't use any crowdfunding platform, I just used email and fb and I was amazed how my friends and family got involved and within 2 or 3 days I got about 1400 USD which helped my friend to pay her tuition and other expenses connected with her studies.
Now I am in new situation and I would like to star a fundraising for building a school in Zambia. Beside the previous experience I don't have any practical experiences with fundraising and running campaign but I think I will use some crowdfunding platform. I am bit scared how this campaign will go and if I will have a courage to start it.
I will appreciate any suggestion and help.
Once again, thank you for your article.
I would definitely go for either indiegogo or gofundme, as they are both more socially oriented than kickstarter, which is product based. If I may blow my own horn, definitely read my first post on crowdfunding, which gives you all of my basic advice.
Thank you, I have read it is very helpful.
