Exploring crowdfunding with NGOs to rethink social projects

Nowadays it is in developing countries where the most innovative and sustainable social technologies in healthcare, water supply and energy are designed. Why is this so? Because very often innovation springs from necessity.

Development NGOs who act as bridges between the north and south could now have a new role to play in promoting and facilitating such innovation and making it known in other places - both north or south. In recent years such organisations have become more and more concerned with raising funds in order to survive, but some of them have also noted that survival depends mainly on a change in strategy.

Crowdfunding  is one's tools of the CAN That the NGOs point in the this direction. It promotes and accelerates social change and, because crowdfunding is based on values such as openness, participation and transparency, it goes beyond the more traditional simple, charitable notion of fundraising

In order to meet both these challenges I recommend that the NGOs create a group which has decision-making powers to coordinate the crowdfunding campaign, and which is temporary, interdisciplinary and independent of the NGO itself.

As outlined above, these crowdfunding workshops do not only serve to discuss ways of raising funds but they also create awareness, which in turn leads to greater commitment, talent and innovation. And frequently, the richest source of these attributes are to be found within the very target audience that NGOs so often have access to but do not know how to tap into.
