Stetson University’s official crowdfunding platform is an outlet for the entire Hatter community to connect with donors and fundraise for student organizations, creative projects, and more.  

Every dollar raised through crowdfunding goes directly to back to the project. 

Projects are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The Annual Giving Office is here to make sure that crowdfunding is the best platform to raise funds for your project.
