Alternative Fundraising

oikos is exploring others means to fundraise that complement offers from the community to support the way we work. Crowdfunding on Global Giving has become a major area where projects seek individual gifts from people we get connected with. Alumni fundraising is another new area we are experimenting with. An example is Benoit Pitaser’s cross-country, matched-donation, fundraiser. Many creative ideas can be proposed here and some help with infrastructure projects like oikos registering to TGE (LINK) to start offering tax-free donations. Google Drive
