Millennium Fellowship Project: Empowering Education Through Micro Donations
The project develops a model to more efficiently raise money for a cause. It was found that often individuals in developing countries will not donate when they are allowed to choose the amount (potentially since there is an implicit pressure to donate a large amount). The solution to overcome this issue was to offer individuals only one choice - to donate a small amount (approximately $1). We partnered with a local NGO ADAPT (formerly The Spastics Society of India) to test this model. and were able to collect donations from over 70 donours, effectively raising funds and awareness for differently abled children. The scope for this project is to scale up this model to improve the success rate of fundraising for social causes.
