The Sprout Fund is partnering with ioby.org to offer training and one-on-one support for eligible Northside Neighbor-to-Neighbor grant recipients who would like to run a crowdfunding campaign in addition to their grant support. Crowdfunding on ioby allows project leaders to raise funds, cultivate a local donor base, find volunteers, and build visibility for their project, all with one-on-one support and training from ioby staff.
The training will cover the details of participating in the ioby crowdfunding partnership and the ‘seven habits’ of highly successful crowdfunding campaigns. Learn more and get started on your campaign.
The Crowdfunding Training will take place on Monday, April 20, at 5:00 pm at Bistro-to-Go (415 East Ohio Street).
About Sprout Fund’s Neighbor-to-Neighbor Grants
The Sprout Fund has joined One Northside Initiative to engage Northside residents in conversations about the future of their communities.
Sprout is offering Neighbor-to-Neighbor Grants of up to $1,000 to provide immediate support for small-scale community projects with broad citizen support. Prospective applicants are encouraged to use this opportunity to raise awareness about innovative new Northside projects, events, and activities.
The next application deadline is 5:00 pm on Friday, May 8, 2015. Decisions are typically announced by the end of each month. Project activities must begin by June 30, 2015 and conclude by September 15, 2015.
