How can foundations promote innovation?

With a crowdfunding platform from FAIRPLAID, foundations can not only acquire new funding projects, but also multiply existing funding through the active participation of civil society. At the same time, foundations increase the visibility of their funding topics and inspire sustainably committed supporters for their goals.

How foundations benefit from FAIRPLAID

  • 1. multiply subsidies

    Our platform enables foundations to use their funding more efficiently. Thanks to the active participation of the public, more projects can be funded with the same budget.

  • 2. support with fundraising

    Our platform brings foundations together with new partners and committed supporters. This allows them to expand their networks and secure sustainable funding for their projects.

  • 3. increase positive perception and visibility

    Our high-reach platform gives the foundation's commitment and the projects it supports greater visibility.

  • 4. streamline operational work

    We streamline the operational work for foundations. This includes the handling and support of projects (contract, communication, monitoring, payments)

  • 5. winning additional projects

    The platform enables foundations to expand their range of funding and thus become more attractive for committed projects.

  • 6. professional coaching for projects

    With a crowdfunding platform with us, foundations can offer their projects professional coaching. We accompany organizations and initiatives step by step to success.

  • 7. seminars and workshops

    Open day? Volunteer Day or a foundation forum just around the corner? We are also happy to give talks, seminars and workshops on site.

  • 8. finance own contribution

    Financing their own contribution is often a major challenge for applicants. Through our platform, foundations can offer their interested projects a tool that they can use to secure their own contribution.

Showcase

LOWER SAXONY LOTTO SPORTS FOUNDATION

Together with the Lower Saxony Lotto Sports Foundation, we have launched the new crowdfunding platform, which can now be used as a financing and marketing tool for committed people in Lower Saxony. In addition to additional funding, the projects on the platform achieve effects such as increased reach, greater awareness, additional members and long-term sponsors.

  • "We are very satisfied with the campaign results of our funding projects via our new white-label platform from Fairplaid. As a new cooperation partner of the Hertie Foundation, Fairplaid has reliably and quickly managed to adapt its white-label funding platform in such a way that we were able to implement our existing concept of our own crowdfunding platform."

    Annika Paulußen
    Responsible for the MITWIRKEN funding program of the Hertie Foundation

  • "In our first major crowdfunding campaign, we were able to learn a lot thanks to Fairplaid's support and gain important insights for further campaigns. Crowdfunding has made us much better known to the public once again. We are delighted to have such great donors. We have now become fans of crowdfunding."

    Bernd Schlag
