How Successful is Crowd Funding?
50% of the time, fund targets are not reached but this is mainly because the project/cause is not promoted or driven hard enough. If clubs are going to use Crowd Funding to raise funds they need to spend time to make their fundraising page interesting and drive the promotion using tools like social media.

Very few clubs have tried crowd funding. It is not a magic giving tree, it will take time, effort and constant communication to get traction. When it does, amazing things can and do happen.
