The Tadamon Crowdfunding Academy - Future is Green is an 8-week online training program that enables civil society organizations (CSOs) to raise funds using crowdfunding for environmental and green projects. 

It aims to empower CSOs with know-how on how to finance their projects and ideas in alternative ways, build and grow their community, give their projects more visibility, and engage more partners and donors. 

By now, more than 500 organizations have been equipped with crowdfunding skills and have received their Tadamon Crowdfunding Academy completion certificates! 

Selected CSOs will participate in the Academy to develop a crowdfunding campaign using e-learning tools by following a tested program that offers learning materials, presentations, work assignments, and guidance from leading crowdfunding experts.  To apply for the Academy with a project idea, fill out your application form on your organization’s profile/account, until October 23, 2023 available on the Tadamon platform. 

The program is tailored to fit the needs of CSOs and improve their skills so that they can successfully utilize alternative sources of funding. Designed to be fun and engaging, the modules cover the key steps in designing a crowdfunding project – from building a campaign and communications strategy to learning how to set your financial goals, storytelling, and preparing visuals and videos. The program brings together national and global experts in crowdfunding, media/PR relations, social media copywriting, design, and more.
