Crowdfunding projects

1. Crowdfunding Projects
SUCCESS and FAILURE

2. Crowdfunding Projects
to be Analyzed:
LifeStraws for Philippines
Building Community Gardens
in Philippines

3. To The Philippines

4. To The Philippines
Link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/to-the-
philippines/x/18173327#/
Focus: Re-build houses and give the people affected by the
typhoon drinking water and supplies
Funding Goal: $6,000
Actual Achieved: $175 USD
Type of Entrepreneurship: Environmental

5. Rewards I liked and disliked:
$10 USD
Three Pictures
The entire trip I'll be taking pictures. And when I arrive back I will send three pictures with descriptions!!
- I like this because the pictures could serve as souvenirs and a reminder that you have helped the people
$500 USD
ULTIMATE combo pack
You will receive a T-shirt, ALL the pictures from the trip in video format, and a personal video shout out from the kids
and I in the Philippines on our adventure on your own hard copy disc.
-This seemed to be too expensive. As a rewards crowdfunding, it is better to have inexpensive rewards and give more
people than expensive and lesser people can afford it.

6. To the Philippines’ video:
• It only showed the girl talking for the whole video
• It does not show much of the actual help they will render
to the people
• Video was not engaging enough
• It did not hit me straight to the heart

7. Reason why To The Philippines failed:
The video did not show any interaction of the person in
the video talking to the Filipinos. And as a person who
would like to give help, an actual interaction between
them and the Filipinos would make it more legit and
encouraging.

8. LifeStraws for Philippines

9. LifeStraws for Philippines
Link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lifestraws-for-
philippines/x/18173327#/
Focus: Sending filtration straws to families affected by the
typhoon to give them access to clean water
Fund Goal: $5,500
Goal Achieved: $5,625 USD
Type of Entrepreneurship: Environmental

10. Rewards I liked:
• $100 USD
• Here's a LifeStraw
• You're the best! Thank you so much! One step closer. Shout out on Twitter
and Facebook, a thank you card from our team, a picture of the family you
helped, AND a personal LifeStraw.
- I like this reward because the person who helped can get an actual LifeStraw.
This is their most claimed reward as well.

11. LifeStraws for Philippines’ video:
• The video started with pictures of water full of trash with
people living beside it and some were swimming on it
• There has a narration in the video
• The content is great

12. Reason why the LifeStraws for the
Philippines succeeded:
• The narration is great and it clearly states the purpose of
the project
• The rewards are also great and they are what the people
who would like to help the project needed
