Location: New York, New York

“In Hurricane Sandy’s wake, our Indiegogo campaign helped jump start our relief efforts and a resilience movement in the Rockaways. We launched 8 days after Sandy struck and raised enough to do our first major solar installation at a Rockaway community center within a week of the campaign start.” -Corinne McAfee

“I wanted to create a better version of that wooden figure found in arts/craft stores, but one that was anatomically correct and good range of motion. Something artists could benefit from and sculptors create sculptures over the top of. Without Indiegogo’s help this wouldn’t have been possible.” -Kamal Siegel

“The campaign was stressful but not without unexpected benefits such as greater exposure of what we are doing, stronger connection with those already supporting us and new energy brought in by folks seeing it for the first time.” -Daniel Coyle

“This campaign helped raise some of the funds needed for printing the book and was part of building an audience. We created a communication network with Indiegogo, a Tumblr blog, Facebook pages and Twitter feed. It all created a synergy which reached hundreds of people internationally.” -Peter Sramek

“We wanted to put on a really big show; so big that it felt impossible to all of us. Indiegogo allowed us to reach a worldwide audience, drum up excitement, and spread our weird dream to our social networks. We never thought we could meet our goal, but this platform did the trick.” -Joshua Conkel
