UCLA Crowdfunding is a crowdfunding platform open to registered student groups, including department-sponsored interest groups and SOLE organizations, Rec or Club Sports teams, UCLA Alumni, Faculty, Staff, Development Officers, and certain friends of UCLA.

 

If this sounds like you and you’re interested in launching a crowdfunding campaign, you’re in the right place!

 

Please complete the following application, which is required for all first-time UCLA Crowdfunding projects. 

 

Projects related to raising funds for salaries and/or stipends are not permitted on UCLA Crowdfunding.
