Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding is a practice of funding a project by raising small amounts of money from many different sponsors. It's a young and quickly growing tool that harnesses the power of social sharing and personal networks, transforming how people behave with their money. This online fundraising strategy brings together individuals who donate to projects they are passionate about!

At UCCS we use GiveCampus, an online fundraising platform that allows UCCS individuals and organizations to create and share fundraising campaigns with an engaged community. Our tools empower the UCCS community to come together and create a lasting impact on things you care about! After the page is created, you and your project team will reach out to your crowd of contacts who can collectively provide you with the necessary amount to fund your venture. It is crucial that your project team has a strategy for promoting your campaign via email, social media, personal networks, etc.
