Crowdfunding lunch for Social Innovation BarCamp #sibsyd

Funding and how to raise funds has been a major topic of discussion at past events. This community is becoming increasingly powerful in it’s sharing and support and, instead of sourcing sponsorship from a corporation, we felt it was time to explore crowdfunding.

Lunch at Social Innovation Sydney has been mentioned as a very important part of the event due to the relaxed opportunity for conversation and connection.

This crowdfund is to simply provide for this lunch of organic and locally sourced food. We estimate this to total $650.

Now we’re using crowdfunding via Pozible to cover the cost of providing lunch for our participants.
