HawksNest - Crowdfunding to the Power of M
HawksNest is a crowdfunding site that allows alumni, family, and friends of the university to directly support the research and scholarship of Miami University students, faculty, and staff.
It works like this:
- Miami University students, faculty, and staff complete an online application to have their project considered for funding.
- An internal review team assesses applications and posts approved projects on HawksNest for a maximum of 45 days.
- Potential donors learn about approved projects by reviewing projects posted on HawksNest and can pledge funds to individual projects.
- Once a funding goal has been met, the project can begin!
- Donors can keep track of their donations and project outcomes on the HawksNest site. Project managers will keep donors up-to-date with information on the project's progress.
