Successfully raised campaign target in three weeks on excellent BackaBuddy Fundraising Platform

This was the second time that I successfully used Back-a-Buddy in five years. The first was as an organisation (NPO) when raising funds to establish the Camissa Museum at the Castle of Good Hope, which is now a well visited heritage site. This time I raised my target amount within 3 weeks, as an individual, to self-publish a heritage book CONVERSATIONS WITH MY ANCESTRAL MOTHERS, a set of stories about 20 of my African-Asian forebears who were enslaved, Khoe forebears as well as European forebears who crossed the colour-line. The Back-a-Buddy philanthropy platform is simple and easy to use and is productive in raising funds if you do the front-end work of publicizing your campaign to targeted audiences. In my experience of fundraising this is an excellent platform for modest achievable funding support that will resonate with target audiences of potential supporters. Set your target bar realistically and keep your target date for no more than six weeks. I set it at one month and at R10 000. After deduction of the reasonable small fee and a donation I completed the campaign with R11 221 A really big thank you to Back-a-Buddy for an excellent service. I can recommend the platform to NPOs and to individuals.
