Campaign Risks FAQ Updates Comments Community
There are a few risks that come with pledge drives/crowdfunding. These are usually related to not reaching funding goals and providing gifts as advertised or in a timely manner.
It is possible that we might not reach our goal within the one month timeframe of the campaign. If that happens it will not mean the shuttering of the charity. But it will mean that we will be able to do less in 2022. We do have a reserve of money to run the charity and the expectation of continued funding next year through typical means. However, meeting our funding needs for next year now frees us up to do more in 2022 than we were able to do this year and that would mean a lot to us, and to Micah’s, and other children, teens, and adults like him, future.
There are a number of things that can go wrong with the gifts.
Right now there is a global production chain delay, meaning that it is taking longer and becoming harder to get stuff. This could result in us not being able to get the things we promised, or to only be able to get them at higher prices, or it might take a lot longer to get them than expected.
Gift(s) become unavailable
If this occurs we will inform anyone who is affected and provide the option of a full refund on the pledge, or a refund on just the portion of the pledge that would have gone toward paying for the gift(s), or to replace the gift(s) with another or other gift(s) at similar values, or finally to forgo the gift(s) during this campaign in exchange for gift(s) in one of our 2022 campaigns.
Gift(s) become more expensive
If this occurs we will inform anyone who is affected and provide the options of a full refund on the pledge, or a refund on just the portion of the pledge that would have gone toward paying for the gift(s), or to replace the gift(s) with something that we can afford with the portion of your pledge that would have gone toward paying for the original gift(s), or finally to forgo the gift(s) during this campaign in exchange for gift(s) in one of our 2022 campaigns.
Production & shipping delays
If there is a production or shipping delay we will inform anyone who is affected by the delay. Remedy’s for this will depend on the timeframe of the delay. And extended delay may be accompanied by options as described in the two sections above.
Stretch goals represent opportunities for the charity to grow and do more work in the coming year. Not reaching a stretch goal isn’t a risk to the charity’s existence, but it does represent an area that we may not be able to do what we would like to do in the coming year.
