Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects.
At this very second, thousands of people are checking out projects
on Kickstarter. They're rallying around their friends' ideas, backing projects
from people they've long admired, and discovering things that make
them laugh and smile.
Every project is independently crafted, put to all-or-nothing funding,
and supported by friends, fans, and the public in return for rewards.
-
Independently crafted.
The filmmakers, musicians, artists, and designers you see on Kickstarter have complete control and responsibility over their own projects.
They spend weeks building their own project pages, shooting their own videos, and brainstorming
what to offer as rewards.
Rewards are things like a copy of what’s being made, a limited edition, or a custom experience related to the project. This isn’t Best Buy – rewards aren’t shrink-wrapped and ready to ship. Once the project is funded, the journey to bring them to life begins.
-
All-or-nothing funding.
Every project creator sets their project's funding goal and deadline.
If the project succeeds
in reaching its funding goal
all backers’ credit cards are charged
when
time expires.
If the project falls short no one is charged.
Since our launch in April 2009, more than 20,000 creative projects
have been successfully funded by awesome people from around the world.
But Kickstarter is about much more than money...
-
The big picture.
People come to Kickstarter to build community around their projects. It’s inspiring to be supported by people you know, and amazing to connect with strangers who are discovering your ideas for the first time.
The feedback, press, and love that can come with
a Kickstarter project are just as valuable as the money raised. Ask anyone who’s done it before. There’s nothing like it.
Will, Katie, thanks very much! You can purchase a copy of the CD directly through our school's website, by clicking on the "buy now" paypal link: http://evcsnyc.org/. Enjoy.
I would love to contribute to this project and/or at least buy a CD. Please let me know if there is still a way to help. Also heard it on NPR and I am very eager to hear these recordings.

Trying to contribute after hearing Susan and children on NPR. we'd love a copy of the CD.
I've also been involved in campaigns to keep the arts in schools... most important part of education in my opinion. After many years in Youth Arts Outreach projects in NY and Ireland, that was crystal clear.
It's a brilliant idea that should be passed around to all communities battling such funding cuts.
Go raibh míle maith agat Siui!!
Slán agus beannachtaí,
