This session will explore crowdfunding and give you the essential information to launch your own campaign to raise funds for your nonprofit. Crowdfunding, a fundraising strategy utilizing an online platform to reach a funding goal with donations from a large group of people over a short amount of time, is an increasingly popular way for groups and individuals to raise capital. Though nonprofits have essentially been crowdfunding for years, crowdfunding platforms such as Indiegogo, Crowdrise, and Kickstarter have raised the visibility of funding campaigns and allowed groups to reach new audiences. We will discuss the basics of crowdfunding, different platforms, successful campaigns, and tips for running your own campaign. This class is primarily for nonprofits, but the information will be applicable to business entrepreneurs, artists, and individuals as well.
Presenter: Andrea Levandowski, Reference Librarian, New Jersey State Library

Here i am 2 seasons of vox machina later rewatching this as the moment our generation changed the world.
In 2023: Finished airing season 2, confirmed for season 3, greenlit for Season 1 Mighty Nein, and a movie deal! Excited for EXU Calamity in stunning Animation! Cerrit! Loquatius! Patia! Nydas! Zerxus! Laerryn! Ring of Brass!
I know this was a bit, but there’s actually a lot of honesty here … I’d be astonished to the point of babbling too if I blew-past all my fundraising goals in a few hours.
Let’s please circle back to having physical copies (e.g. dvds/blu ray) at 57:57. Can we please get on this! I am a special features geek and this could be packed with such. It’s the stereotypical ‘shut up and take my money’ meme moment!
50:36 "How cool would it be to see the Kevdak fight?"
'"That would be amazing"
TRAVIS CAN SEE THE FUTURE
so sorry delayed like <33333 love youuuu
Looking back at this now, its so funny to see where we are today.
There is hope for Critical Role Land yet.
Watching this for the first time in Feb 2023 after two seasons of TLoVM have already been released and I'm getting goose bumps about what's to come for these guys. As amazed and blown away as they were at what had happened on the first day, little did they know at what was still to come… Such an amazing story!
38:22 Chroma Conclave you say? What if he knew that it is going to be a multi season event. I love it. I'm writing it after 2 seasons aired. Such a piece of history.
And we've seen the calamity and some are wondering if we might get a calamity movie
So this is why it took awhile for the show to be made we broke them with the amount of money people donated
Back 4 years later after season 2! It's been an amazing ride so far, here's to many more seasons!
the only lie in this Q&A is the fact that Fjord never did flirt with Jester that week smh
How far we have come!
Strix strix strix
Saying that I'm so happy for them doesn't even begin to cover it. They're such an amazing group of people and things are going so well for them. So many big things coming!
I'm sorry, but the look for dumbfoundedness on their faces was…I…I…I can't stop laughing at how fast that went!
Who's here after watching the Mighty Nein announcement? <3
3 seasons of Vox Machina and now the Mighty Nein as well, all thanks to the enormous fan support. We did good guys, we did good.
