When People Fund Faster Than Institutions

What crowdfunding is changing about how public good gets resourced.

Crowdfunding is typically seen as a fundraising tool, but, on a deeper level, its impact is how it changes the speed and responsiveness of funding. This session will explore what happens when large numbers of individual people come together to fund causes quickly – often moving faster than traditional institutional processes allow.

We’ll turn the lens on what you need to understand as funding models shift, and what this means for the future of resource mobilisation.

Learning outcomes

  • Learn how crowdfunding enables rapid, distributed funding
  • Find out what this means for crisis response and underfunded areas
