Crowdfunding for social impact in agriculture: Top tips and resources

Hello!

Stephanie from StartSomeGood here. We're the global crowdfunding platform for social impact and we've hosted projects in over 38 countries around the world, focused on everything from healthcare, social business, education, and yes - agriculture!

I'm excited to present the upcoming webinar on Crowdfunding for Social Impact in Agriculture exclusively for YPARD members and wanted to share some tips and resources you can explore before we meet:

1. Curious and want to start learning now? Great! we have tons of resources to share, including a free email crowdfunding course that you can sign up to on our homepage - just look for the green sign-up widget in bottom right corner. Also, to learn about the rules and requirements of crowdfunding on our platform, check out the How it Works and FAQ section of our website.
2. In Australia? Come along to one of our upcoming events in Sydney, Melbourne or Perth. Alternatively, if you'd like us to come to your city just drop us a line and we'll see what we can do!
3. Start planning! Now is the time to grow your online reach through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and identifying key ambassadors for your cause. They might be leaders in the community or well known bloggers - be targeted in your outreach and form a team of volunteers who can help you with setting up and promoting your crowdfunding campaign. Write down at least 5-10 people who will donate to your crowdfunding campaign in the first week.

TIP: Hootsuite: This is a fantastic tool for growing and managing your social media presence across platforms

BONUS: For our YPARD community, here's access to our Grow-It! eBook: A special crowdfunding guide for food startups.

I'm truly excited for the opportunity to meet with you, hear about your project ideas and answer any questions you have about crowdfunding!

If you can't make it along to this webinar but still want to get in touch, email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and mention you're a YPARD member - I'd be happy to help you and invite you to a future webinar.
