Crowdfunding: Innovative Ways to Develop Funding Sources

CLARA Project

Session Description

The Eastfield College baseball team launched their first Crowdfunding Campaign a few years ago to help the team fund travel expenses, equipment, uniforms and practice gear. Among the first successful peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns in Dallas County Community College District, they utilized a creative video featuring the baseball team making a case for their needs and raised over $11,000. Over a year ago, all seven of the Dallas County Community Colleges used this same crowdfunding process and launched campaigns that raised money to stock the food pantries at each campus. This amazing resource is available to any faculty, staff, or student organization within the district for college approved projects to harness the power of social media to fundraise for initiatives that support the mission and values of the institution. The Dallas County Community College Foundation has made the application to utilize this platform for approved projects very simple.
