Crowdfunding For Your School Project
I recently came across a company who supply solar panels to schools and who very interestingly told me that a lot of their installations are now paid for via crowdfunding initiatives.
So in your quest for the Holy Grail of funding, this is certainly something that you should consider.
I have therefore done some further research on this and found a specialist crowdfunding portal for educational projects called Hubbub.
For those of you who are new to this phenomenom ( I was!), it is becoming an increasingly popular way to raise money for projects or products such as ours. Basically it gives you an online portal to promote your project for people or organisations to give money to..but please bear in mind, there is not a ready database of people who are suddenly going to start writing you cheques as soon as you post your project on Hubbub, you have to work at it yourself too.
Have a look at their website to see how it all works and I have indeed spoken to one of their executives Jonathan May today. He is more than happy for you to email him if you want further details or have any questions. His email address is jm@hubbub.net
I personally believe that this is a very good idea and worth looking into if you are still trying to fundraise.
