The University of New Orleans Foundation provides Crowdfunding projects as a resource for UNO students, faculty, staff, programs, and organizations to use the power of crowdfunding to raise money and generate support for approved projects.
These projects, in order to be approved, must be sponsored by a UNO college, department, or program. Goal amounts are set to $500 to $10,000 with campaigns lasting from up to 30 to 75 days. However, there may be opportunities to allow other amounts or lengths, depending on the project. Send any additional materials or any questions to Anna Osgood at aosgood@unofoundation.org or call 504-280-9818.
Title of your fundraising idea. This is what donors will see on top of the page.
If a student initiative, please provide the full name of a faculty or staff member.
Please list your team members, three minimum, five maximum, who are committed to contributing to the campaign and pushing the project through social media and personal connections to their network of friends, family, colleagues, and other contacts. First name, last name, and email address.

$500 to $10,000 (Amounts exceeding $10,000 will need further discussion.)
In determining your funding goal, please share with us how you came up with the amount needed. What costs did you consider when coming up with the total? Will you be able to fulfill part of your goal or do you need to raise the total amount to be successful? Please list your costs.
This will be added to your "about" section on your page. Explain to me why you need the money and tell me a bit about your organization/project. The more detailed the better. This can be changed later on, but is very helpful to get your project started.
Do you have a campaign marketing plan to follow? Please share it with us. For instance, tell us about the roles of your team members, schedule of social media posts, etc. Also, please include the social media accounts (instagram/facebook/linkedIN) of your department, college, program, or organization that you'll be utilizing to promote your project.
Thank you for taking the time to fill out this form. A zoom meeting or on-campus meeting is required when setting up a campaign. Once this information is processed and approved, Anna Osgood will reach out to schedule a call or meeting.
