Crowdfunding Resources

From the Heart Productions Inc. is one of the few fiscal sponsors to offer true crowdfunding assistance.  We can demystify the process for you, so that you have the information to decide whether crowdfunding your film is right for you.

Operating a crowdfunding campaign is no small task. It requires preparation, time, and dedication. But a successful crowd funding campaign cannot only raise needed funds, but also provide enormous publicity and new networking opportunities. When you are sponsored by us we give you a choice of two platforms for peer to peer funding or crowdfunding.

We can help with articles, video, and introductions to crowdfunding experts.

 

The following are FREE resources to help you build a strong foundational knowledge of crowdfunding. 

 

We strongly recommend you review all of the materials on this page before designing or planning for your campaign. By developing a deeper understanding of crowdfunding, you will design a more effective campaign and raise more money!
