KICKSTARTER GUIDELINES

Hi again. So while several people have written to tell me about their success with kickstarter, two people wrote to say their projects were rejected. I'm not sure why that happened but if you do propose something with kickstarter, make sure you read their guidelines. I'm posted some of them below that I took from their site. New grant info in the next few days....:-) m

Projects must be focused on a specific goal and offer backers tangible, reasonably priced rewards. Projects involving donations, personal charity, or general business expenses are not good fits.

Creators must be diligent in managing their project. We encourage creators to imagine the experience that they would want as a backer, and then replicate that for their own project. A good project creator:

  • Creates and uploads a pitch video
  • Spreads the word through their network, audience, friends, and family
  • Keeps backers in the loop with frequent Project Updates
  • Engages with the community that develops around their project
  • Fulfills rewards in a timely manner

Some restrictions:

  • Loans, investment, and any kind of financial return are forbidden
  • Lotteries, raffles, and sweepstakes are not allowed
