Crowdfunding is an innovative method for raising funds for various initiatives, including ventures, scientific research, projects, and most importantly, social ideas.

Over a certain period of time, interested financiers transfer money to the author of the idea (or group of authors, company). The amount of money is determined by the financiers at their will.
Most crowdfunding platforms are built on a charitable or non-profit basis, with an emphasis on supporting projects that bring public benefit.
The advantage of crowdfunding is that it allows obtaining financing without the involvement of banks, various funds, and stock exchanges. It is a highly democratic method that allows individuals and organizations to initiate projects independently.
Additionally, crowdfunding enables project creators to easily and inexpensively spread their initiatives to reach a wide audience.
There are several types of crowdfunding:
- Reward-free/donation-based: Your fans contribute money to make the idea happen and get nothing in return.
- Non-financial reward: This can be any card, video thanking the donor, or a gift that is sent to the donor in exchange for a donation.
- Financial reward: In this case, large investors receive a percentage of the income and sales. This type of “crowdfunding” is commonly used to finance films, games, applications, and music albums.
The organization “Orbeliani Georgia” has been financing social initiatives for more than 8 years and has a wealth of experience in evaluating and monitoring similar projects. Before publishing an idea on the platform, “Orbeliani” reviews the idea, assesses its practicality, requests additional documentation if necessary, and only then publishes it on the platform. Additionally, all co-funded ideas are directly monitored by our team to support the idea’s author and verify the intended use of the donation, including checking financial documentation.
Moreover, the project author is obliged to post the final report on the platform to ensure maximum transparency and accountability. The project report, including the financial part, will be sent to all donors by email upon request.

Our goal is to promote positive change in Georgia by empowering individuals, women, youth, civic activists, social entrepreneurs, and community leaders who want to make a difference in their community, neighborhood, city, and country.
