IndieVoices

Crowdfunding for Independent Media

IndieVoices is a crowdfunding site specializing in helping independent media, primarily in the developing world, raise the funds they need. Our goal is to serve as a bridge that connects social investors to high-quality, independent, and socially relevant news and content providers and media companies. Our ideal world is made up of societies, communities, and individuals who are well informed and media literate. It is a world of diverse, independent, and reliable voices that offers all citizens equal access to quality news and information. IndieVoices will power this vision by operating as the vehicle through which you can donate to or invest in new media ventures or in news sources you have known and trusted for decades. Our unique platform, offering several investment options for patient capital, will allow you to directly fund content production, from documentary films to investigative journalism. It will also enable you to fund new digital tools that will enhance news quality or expand access to information for underserved communities. Most important, IndieVoices will democratize and thus reinvent the worlds of media investing and media ownership by introducing to those worlds crowds of individual citizens. Our platform will assist the crowds (formerly known as the audience) to become media proprietors in their own right. In the process, they will support the production and dissemination of quality, independent information worldwide by replacing profit-motivated capital with their own, motivated only by social returns.
