=== Crowdfunding ===
"Building a world where we meet our own needs without denying future generations a healthy society is not impossible, as some would assert. The question is where societies choose to put their creative efforts." Christopher Flavin


Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people, today often performed via internet-mediated registries, but the concept can also be executed through mail-order subscriptions, benefit events, and other methods. Crowdfunding is a form of alternative finance, which has emerged outside of the traditional financial system.


The crowdfunding model is based on three types of actors: the project initiator who proposes the idea and/or project to be funded; individuals or groups who support the idea; and a moderating organization (the "platform") that brings the parties together to launch the idea.
"Go with your gut instinct.  Be innovative. Innovation is about challenge, challenging others, challenging yourself, your own perceptions. If its hasn't got a challenge in it let someone else do it - you go and do something that is unique."


In 2013, the crowdfunding industry raised over $5.1 billion worldwide. {{W|Crowdfunding}}

Social innovations are new strategies, concepts, ideas and organizations that meet the social needs of different elements which can be from working conditions and education to community development and health — they extend and strengthen civil society. Social innovation includes the social processes of innovation, such as open source methods and techniques and also the innovations which have a social purpose — like online volunteering, microcredit, or distance learning.

Our current list of resource articles is in the far right hand column. An example of a fairly extensively developed CASwiki resource article is International sustainable community events, but of course resource articles can be started off with just a few items of relevant information. Template:Caswikiresources sidebar

Share information about Resources

Greenheart.jpg Share information about all kinds of resources for community action for sustainability.

The information in the pages featured here is about international, global or generic resources. The vast majority of the information about resources in CASwiki is location or topic specific.

Share information about Resources by place

You can view or share location specific information about resources for community action for sustainability via any of CASwiki's location pages

Share information about Resources by topic

You can view or share topic specific information about resources for community action for sustainability via any of CASwiki's topic pages

Guidelines for Resources articles or content

Resources for all, not just 'professionals'

It's a feature of much material available on sustainability topics that 'Resources' are often written primarily for a 'professional' type audience (and so may contain jargon, unexplained acronyms, etc). It is hoped the CASwiki can redress the balance a bit and include articles, for example on topics such as community resources, written primarily from the point of view of ordinary concerned citizens and community groups.

Help out by adding in your reviews of resources
