Notes on Running a Crowd Funding Campaign

As part of The Caring Imagination initiative, AngelHousePress will publish guides to help creators and cultural workers  who wish to create, produce and disseminate work with compassion. This first guide is for those who wish to raise money to fund their creative endevours and is especially focused on fundraising for community support, such as paying contributors and promoting activities, such as small press publication. It is a work-in-progress based on my experience and is by no means definitive. I welcome your suggestions for additions and changes at any time, and I welcome any questions you may have.

I am also looking for more guides on subjects such as how to create events that are accessible, how to find sensitivity editors, and more. Please visit CaringImagination.com for an idea of the type of resource we are looking for. There will be a small honorarium. You can e-mail me at amanda at angelhousepress dot com if you have an idea for a guide.
