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
We are hosted on the following donation platforms and we have different campaigns/users that use them.
TGE Platform Page - European donation platform that allows Europeans to benefit from tax incentives from their residential country. As of 11/22 countries available are France, Spain, Germany and Belgium.
Global Giving Platform - Crowdfunding platform w/ matching promotions during multiple campaigns throughout the year.
All Alternative fundraising activities are recorded on this Airtable including all donor information, research of new alternatives fundraising opportunities
