Every week, we give team members at Indiegogo an opportunity to talk about the campaigns that have caught their attention. Here’s what we were talking about this week:
Alice
The Reformation Project: Training LGBT Christians & Allies to Change the Church
Location: Wichita, Kansas
An amazing campaign that is bringing together the LGBT community and the church!
Amanda
World’s First Digital LoFi-Fisheye!
Location: London, United Kingdom
Greg’s failure to find the right camera led him to create the world’s first digital point-and-shoot fisheye camera for himself and now he is sharing it with others. I love his entrepreneurial spirit!
Brad
Location: Marietta, Georgia
You have read the BOOK – 3 million downloaded – Now be apart of the film.
Bret
StashBelt: Stash Cash – Store Files – Stay Safe
Location: Halifax, Nova Scotia
African artisans meet North American entrepreneurs to create a cool, stylish new “moneybelt”. And the best part? This social enterprise company pays above-market wages to workers, sources only free-range Boran cows for leather hides, provides vocational training and certification for apprentices, and donates a portion of all profits to the StashBelt Foundation.
Crista
Untitled Juilliard Dance Film – Class of 2015
Location: New York, New York
This campaign is a great example of young artists taking action and working together across disciplines to showcase new talent. They’ve reached their goal with a week left!
Danae
Nautical Torque: Lunar Energy for a Sustainable Future
Location: San Francisco, California
David
Location: San Francisco, California
Peter Hudson, the artist behind the most incredible Burning Man art I have ever seen, returns with a new project for 2013!
Kate
Location: Hillsborough, California
Love this entrepreneurial spirit! Students are helping their communities by selling earthquake kits and donating profits to the Red Cross.
Matt
Yoga – Dance – Strength – Community
Location: Oakland, California
My friend Matt turned me onto flying yoga at his going away party before he left for a 6 month trip to practice in India, and now he’s turned me onto his friends campaigns to help expand their yoga studio in Oakland. As a resident of the East Bay I definitely want to support local businesses that help build community, and expanding Flying Yoga certainly does that!
