Crowdfund Basic Income - UBI Advocacy and Fundraising
It's Not About a Few of Us Giving a Lot, It's About a Lot of Us Giving Very Little
Data shows that direct cash payments are exactly what people need to get through this global pandemic as well as be able to thrive in a post-Covid19 world. We cannot simply wait around for the government to implement Universal Basic Income and can start making an impact for individuals right now.
As a collective, we can crowdfund someone's basic income and the bigger the collective the more people's basic income we can crowdfund. Not unlike people crowdfunding for medical expenses, we have the ability to crowdfund a basic income so someone can afford their basic needs.
Keep demanding more from your government so one day people will not need to crowdfund their own Basic Income anymore. We’re here to promote advocacy for passing Universal Basic Income while also giving resources to UBI advocates so they can set up an individual basic income pilot for themselves.

How Can Someone Crowdfund Basic Income?
We have seen successful crowdfunding campaigns with social media platforms that included the following:
A graphic that includes these four things:
1. The reason you (or the person you are crowdfunding for) need the basic income.
2. How much you (or the person you are crowdfunding for) need.
3. How soon you (or the person you are crowdfunding for) need it.
4. How people can donate to your crowdfunding campaign (or the person's campaign you are crowdfunding for) using one of the fundraising websites or peer-to-peer apps for direct cash payments mentioned above.
This streamlines 95% of the questions you are going to get while crowdfunding.
This graphic can be used on social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, FaceBook, and TikTok to bring awareness to your crowdfunding campaign.
Ideally, you need to explain your circumstances in a video that is under 60 seconds to share on social media. If you are using platforms like TikTok having a quick video about the crowdfunding campaign that is under 60 seconds will make it easier for people to share because they will be able to duet and stitch it. Such a video like this should be pinned on your profile so while you are live (if you have that ability) on TikTok you can tell people who want more details on your circumstances to check out your pinned video and it is easy for them to find it.
In this video make sure you answer the four questions and make sure you have on-screen at all times your method of crowdfunding such as Cash App or a Go Fund Me. Make it easy for people to offer help. Once the video is published share it with your mutuals and ask them to interact with it to boost it and ask them to share it as well. By getting a network of people seeing it you’ll be more likely to reach your goal and people who know you well will likely be the first to donate. Likewise, mutuals of your mutuals will be the second most likely to donate so the more people who see your circumstances the better. Encourage others to stitch and duet the video so that you maximize the number of people who see it.
