On 20 June 2017, the first European conference on crowdfunding for the cultural and creative sectors will take place in Brussels. Around 200 stakeholders will meet to exchange and share good practices, lessons learned as well as present useful crowdfunding examples.
Crowdfunding presents individuals and organisations with an opportunity to launch fundraising campaigns online and gather financial support from a large number of people. Creative professionals and cultural organisations can use crowdfunding to raise money online for any idea or project and simultaneously build up communities and improve visibility.
Out of around 600 crowdfunding platforms in Europe, about 150 of them focus on or are open to hosting cultural and creative projects. Crowdfunding for cultural projects has become very popular and many creative professionals and cultural organisations are using crowdfunding for their fundraising, marketing and communication activities. But how does crowdfunding work and how does it get started?
