Crowdsourcing can help a struggling filmmaker fund her next project or provide young entrepreneurs with capital to start their dream business. It can also jump-start your next Rotary project by connecting you with the people, money, and resources to reach your goals. You’ll learn the basics of crowdsourcing and why it works, get a tour of Rotary Ideas, and get inspired to take your next project to a new level.
