Crowdfunding is the art of rallying your community to fund your project.

Match donors build momentum, add credibility, create hype, and increase your chance of success.

Events can raise awareness of your campaign, raise money, reward your core crowd and create opportunities for media coverage.

But they can be time-consuming to organise, so if you can piggyback on existing events where you can make an ask, or have a supporter ask for you, even better.
