Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is a powerful tool to mobilize the crowd!
At BuildPalestine, we recognize the potential of crowdfunding to drive positive change in Palestine. Whether you’re running a crowdfunding campaign to support your nonprofit, social enterprise, or community initiative, we’d love for you to join us Under the Olive Tree!
How BuildPalestine Supports Your Crowdfunding Campaign:
BuildPalestine supports crowdfunding campaigns for community- driven projects in historic Palestine through the following ways:
- Community Engagement: As a member of Under the Olive Tree, you gain access to our vibrant community of Palestinians and allies worldwide who are passionate about social impact in Palestine. We invite you to share your crowdfunding campaign with our community, where you can engage with like-minded individuals, receive valuable feedback, and garner support for your cause.
- Amplification: Upon joining, reach out to a member of our team, and we’ll work with you to amplify your campaign. This includes hosting live events with our community, posting about your campaign on BuildPalestine’s social media platforms, and providing guidance and advice on campaign design and storytelling to maximize your impact.
- Focus on Community Impact: It’s important to note that BuildPalestine does not allow fundraising for individuals on our platform. Instead, we prioritize crowdfunding campaigns that have a clear community impact and align with our mission empowering Palestinian changemakers.
Our Vision for Crowdfunding in Palestine:
Since our inception in 2016, crowdfunding has grown significantly in Palestine, despite challenges such as restrictions imposed by payment processors. Today, it is widely acknowledged as a powerful tool for mobilizing the crowd, often led by individuals outside of Palestine.
At BuildPalestine, we’re committed to expanding access to crowdfunding within Palestine. We’re currently developing a platform that will facilitate local crowdfunding, bypassing restrictions on international money transfers. This initiative aims to empower local communities to fund impactful projects that address pressing needs and drive innovation.
Why We Love Crowdfunding:
- Community Mobilization: Crowdfunding allows individuals and organizations to mobilize community resources and harness collective support for meaningful causes.
- Encourages Innovation: It fosters creativity and supports the development of new ideas and initiatives that address local challenges.
- Alternative Funding: Crowdfunding offers an alternative means of funding, enabling projects to access financial support beyond traditional channels.
Join us in harnessing the power of crowdfunding to drive real impact in Palestine.
