Crowdfunding F&Q’s
What is crowdfunding?
Blue Gives Back is the Indiana State University’s crowdfunding platform for fundraising. Crowdfunding offers donors a new way to provide support for our schools, programs, and, specifically, projects at Indiana State that mean something to them. Crowdfunding assists our student organizations, faculty, staff and academic departments in achieving their fundraising goals through ideas such as innovative projects, service and philanthropic trips and events, research, and other specific initiatives. There is an application and approval process before any project can move forward.
Who can utilize the Blue Gives Back platform?
All Crowdfunding projects must support an initiative or project in the Indiana State University community via a student organization, an academic department, or other official campus entity. The Blue Gives Back platform helps raise awareness and achieve fundraising goals. Crowdfunding works best for projects and campaigns with clear and specific goals, rather than for general, unrestricted fundraising.
Who manages the Crowdfunding platform?
The Division of University Advancement and Indiana State University Foundation manage the platform for our campus.
