Goteo
Self-portrait
A simple vista, Goteo es una plataforma de crowdfunding cívico y colaboración en torno a iniciativas ciudadanas, proyectos sociales, culturales, tecnológicos y educativos. Con réplicas y alianzas en varios países, gracias a su código abierto, además de reconocida y premiada internacionalmente desde 2011. Constituye una herramienta de generación de recursos, gota a gota, para una comunidad de comunidades compuesta por más de 65.000 personas, con un porcentaje de éxito de financiación superior al 70%.
Pero en realidad Goteo es mucho más que eso. Tras la plataforma existe una fundación sin ánimo de lucro (con las consecuentes ventajas fiscales para donantes) y un equipo multidisciplinar desde el que desarrollamos herramientas y servicios de co-creación y financiación colectiva. Con una misión común vinculada siempre a principios de transparencia, progreso y mejora de la sociedad.
Description
Goteo is a Spanish crowdfunding and crowdsourcing platform with a collaborative network of services, infrastructure, tasks and resources. Its mission is to foster social improvement and support independently developed initiatives that contribute to the greater good, learning and development of open source code with social, cultural, educational and technological projects.
Goteo is considered part of an international movement comprised of initiatives working to reconfigure the way social and economic relationships work, such as crowdsourcing, peer-to-peer networks, micro loans, alternative, supplementary o solidarity economies, free culture and other forms of collaboration and socialization.
Goteo is a nonprofit initiative created by Platoniq in 2011 as a project of Fundación Goteo under the principles of openness, neutrality, transparency and independence. The project is supported by institutions like the Spanish Ministry of Culture (Ministerio de Cultura), the National Council of Arts and Culture of Catalonia (Consejo Nacional de la Cultura y las Artes de Cataluña), ColaBoraBora, the Social Innovation Center of Eutokia (Centro de Innovación Social de Eutokia), Culture Institute of Barcelona (Instituto de Cultura de Barcelona), Medialab Prado and the Contemporary Culture Center of Barcelona (Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona).
You can be part of Goteo as a promoter by proposing a new crowdfunding and collaboration model. Through the platform, promoters can raise awareness of their project and easily get the community involved. Co-Financers have access to a variety of projects with common goals they can financially contribute to, in exchange for individual or group rewards. Collaborators provide resources, time, energy and knowledge in support of specific projects.
Goteo offers workshops for advice on how to fund and launch a project in theory and practice, as well as how to support and promote crowdsourcing. Workshops have been conducted in Barcelona, Caracas, Berlin, Murcia, Tenerife and Dublin.
