Many modern organizations, both business-building and non-profit, are actively looking for new methods of attracting resources to finance their projects. In cases where obtaining bank loans is difficult or impossible, and there is no budget financing or it is insufficient, an increasing number of companies are switching to new models of attracting extra-budgetary funds, such as crowdfunding, fundraising and endowment.
Crowdfunding – "people's financing". Fundraising can serve various purposes – helping victims of natural disasters, financing startup companies and small businesses, as well as scientific, creative, social, environmental and other ideas. It should be noted that crowdfunding is a special case of the broader phenomenon of crowdsourcing. sourcing is the provision of resources), which is the process of attracting an unlimited number of people through digital technologies to solve certain tasks. To achieve these goals, various resources of interested parties can be used – money, knowledge, skills, ideas, technical means, etc.
Fundraising is the collection of donations, the involvement of third–party resources for the implementation of socially significant tasks, cultural projects or the maintenance of the existence of an organization.
An endowment is the endowment capital of a non–profit organization; it is a part of the property of a non-profit organization formed through donations, transferred to the trust management of a management company to generate income used to finance the statutory activities of these organizations.
