On crowdfunding and the ACF

Erin and Taylor are a formidable duo; talented filmmakers who also have a strong bent for business and marketing. What a winning combo! This short video is full of handy tips and hints to help with your own campaign.

Key points:

  • Think of your ACF campaign as a marketing strategy, not just a fundraising campaign
  • Tie your campaign to important news and updates – don’t just ask for money
  • Tax deductibility is very attractive – through the ACF you can offer tax deductibility to your donors insteading of creating and managing rewards
  • Donors will be mostly people you know, so it’s important to target them specifically
