TOOL
Crowd Funding
Short description

Crowdfunding — and specifically civic crowdfunding — is an approach where communities, individuals, and organizations collectively finance local public projects through online platforms, often in combination with contributions from municipalities, foundations, or companies.

Unlock-hypothesis

When a project demonstrates grassroots financial support, it signals to governments and foundations that there is genuine demand, making it easier to unlock matching grants or co-funding. This combination of crowd capital and institutional backing is what makes civic crowdfunding particularly powerful as a tool against funding gaps.
