Tens of years ago, there weren’t many options. Most non-profit organisations would go door-to-door, asking thousands of potential donors or trusts for their support. This exhausting way of fundraising has come to a dead end. Especially the arrival of the internet and sharing economy has created a world of opportunities for organisations of all kinds.
One of those exciting developments is alternative financing, of which crowdfunding and peer-to-peer fundraising are the most common ones. Many people use these terms interchangeably, and although they are similar for sure, these are two separate fundraising techniques. This ambiguity around crowdfunding and peer-to-peer fundraising make it a bit complex subject.
