Crowdfunding and Civic Crowdfunding: Theoretical Features and Future Prospects

Nadia Oliva

A chapter in Public Management and Administration from IntechOpen

Abstract: The aim of this work is to carefully analyze crowdfunding, an innovative financial tool based on fundraising activities intended for "crowds" of people, also meant as an antidote to the global financial crisis. After an introduction to crowdfunding, its origins and evolution, the document pinpoints the specificities of the various models. Special attention will be then reserved to civic crowdfunding, which engages the citizens in financing or co-financing public works meant to improve and preserve the territory, or to support social and cultural activities. This study focuses on critical and successful factors of the crowdfunding campaigns to then propose a research schedule meant to implement the future of this emerging tool.
