Goodies are an important part of all crowdfunding projects. However, social projects represent a “special” case. We’ll show you how to choose the right goodies for your social project and how to use creative ideas to get boosters to support your crowdfunding.

It’s a nice gesture and it gives boosters an idea of how far their donation amount will go. They can also choose how much they want to donate if you show them how much can be done with their donation....
