Raise funds for a project

Please answer the following questions so we can review your project application.

* indicates a required field
Learn more about the types of projects we are looking for
We review each project application to ensure that it meets the following criteria:
- Your project will help improve the social fabric, local economic vitality and/or environmental - integrity of your community.
- Your project will provide broad benefit to a range of community members (as opposed to a private campaign for a private cause).
- You have the resources, ability, and credibility to successfully complete or coordinate the completion of the project.
- The amount of funds you are raising will be enough to successfully implement it.
- If you are raising money on an debt or equity basis, the maximum you can raise is $250,000 and the maximum that each backer can contribute is $1500.
If the project does not meet all the above criteria, we will work with you to modify your application.
We offer all crowdfunding types including: Donations, Rewards, Debt and Equity. You can raise up to $250,000 for a Debt or Equity project.
