Crowdfunding

At the University of Cincinnati, crowdfunding is a cause-based fundraising program designed to identify supporters and facilitate philanthropic action. The platform enables advocates to reach out to personal networks (friends, family, colleagues, etc.) to create a "crowd" and invite them to support their cause.

ImpactUC is the University of Cincinnati Foundation's crowdfunding platform for fundraising. Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project by raising small amounts of money from a large number of people, typically via the internet.

Who can utilize the ImpactUC platform? ImpactUC project teams must be part of the University of Cincinnati community via an academic department, student group or other official entity. ImpactUC assists UC faculty, staff and students to raise awareness about causes and achieve their fundraising goals. Crowdfunding works best for projects and campaigns with clear and specific goals, rather than for general, unrestricted fundraising.
