Leipzig's crowdfunding success: EUR 1.7 million for social projects!

The support of local projects is the Leipziger: inside. This shows the impressive commitment to various crowdfunding initiatives that promote not only creative but also social and sporting projects. Nina Kühne, who speaks for Dok Leipzig, recently reported on the success of her own crowdfunding campaign, in which 156 supporters were won within 44 days, which contributed a total of 12,242 euros. These funds are intended to provide access to events of the International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animation Film. This represents an important step towards inclusion, as Kühne emphasizes.

However, these progress cannot be viewed in isolation. The Leipzig Crowd, a platform launched in 2017, has proven to be the key instrument for the promotion of many such initiatives. With the aim of supporting both social and cultural projects, the platform has now distributed almost 1.5 million euros and made over 110 successful sponsorships in various areas, including sports and ecology. Over 12,500 supporters have come together to implement these projects. As the Leipziger Crowd explains on its website, funds can be democratically distributed and subsidized by private support from the funding pot of the L group.

Success in sport: the 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig

The success of the 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig is particularly remarkable, whose spokesman Stephan Guth emphasizes the positive influence of the crowdfunding approach. The club's projects brought a total of 232,911.78 euros. This is made up of 107,384 euros for the expansion of an artificial turf, 2,122 euros for tilting -safe small field gates and 123,405.78 euros for the project 3. League. Guth emphasizes how important the community and support from the crowdfunding platform of the Leipzig group are included.

The Leipzig crowd is not only characterized by financial support, but also actively initiated a crowdfunding campaign for immediate help for Ukraine. This measure aims to provide coordinated help for the precarious situation in Eastern Europe. A total of 609,869 euros were collected in this context - an impressive amount that corresponds to well above one euro per Leipziger: in.

A sustainable commitment

Since its foundation, the Leipzig Crowd has successfully completed over 150 projects, in which more than 15,800 supporters have donated a total of over 1.7 million euros. The commitment to local initiatives is not only reflected in the amounts collected, but also in the active participation of the citizens: inside the design of their community. The constant growth and the increasing popularity of the platform show how important such support systems are for urban development and social interaction.

Although different topics are addressed, all of these projects combines the goal of making Leipzig a more inclusive and supportive place for everyone. The commitment, which is visible here in the form of crowdfunding, could serve as a model for other cities and shows the power of the community in Leipzig.
