Small Donors, Big Impact: The Power of Community Giving

Friday, August 8th- 10:45am-12:15pm

This panel will explore the evolution of individual giving and look at various micro-grant and crowdfunding methodologies that have successfully (or in some cases, unsuccessfully) employed online digital tools to leverage individual and community donations, and to expand community engagement. What does the world of small individual donors on-line look like? What are the various ways in which this world is being structured? What are the best practices for a successful crowdfunding campaign? Have our media access and media arts centers exploited crowdfunding and micro-giving to their fullest potential?

Moderator: Nathaniel James, Principal, Philanthrogeek

Panelists: Al Williams, Executive Director, Northampton Community Television Education Dave Gloss, CEO & Co-Founder, “Here’s My Chance” Beth Kanter, Master Trainer, Author, and Blogger “Beth’s Blog” Trina King, “Dean” of Philadelphia Chapter, the Awesome Foundation
