Who can apply for crowdfunding and what it means

[Henry_Quaye]

Hi @Lukasz_Gornicki , nice to hear from you again!

I would say yes, especially if you plan on leveraging our mentorship program to attract new contributors to your Initiative.

@Lukasz_Gornicki

If we do:

• will project be visible here https://lfx.linuxfoundation.org/participate/join-project/

This is a good question, @Chaitan do you know if all projects that leverage LFX Crowdfunding are represented in the join project link above?

@Lukasz_Gornicki

do you know if there are project that used Open Collective and at the same time Crowdfunding and that people donate to both?

I do not know if other projects use Open Collective alongside Crowdfunding specifically, but I do know projects utilize other solutions alongside Crowdfunding as well.

@Casey_Cain or @Kenny_Paul do either of you have any thoughts on leveraging another tool alongside LFX Crowdfunding?

@Lukasz_Gornicki

is there some docs that explain how it works, how money can be spent, is it like with OC? that you submit invoice and where money should be paid?

Here’s some documentation: Manage Your Crowdfunding Account - Linux Foundation Documentation

and we also have video guides for crowdfunding here: LFX Crowdfunding Overview Slide Deck & Video Guides - Learn about LFX / Crowdfunding - LFX Community Forums

Hope this could be of help @Lukasz_Gornicki
