Riot 1.6 - How to Raise Funds: Tom Dawkins, Founder of StartSomeGood

Change always comes at a cost. And raising the resources you need to drive action can be a fruitless pursuit without the right tools.

Understanding when to ask for money, how to do it and who to speak to is just the beginning, but it's a great place to start. To help you, we've picked the brains of Australia's champion of cause-based crowdfunding, Tom Dawkins.

Tom is founder of StartSomeGood, a platform that helps social impact projects get funded and social activist and entreprenuers sharpen their offerings.

Before you ask anyone for a buck, make sure you wrap your ears around this illuminating convo.

Talking points include:

- The basic (and BIG) mistakes people make when raising funds
- When to squeeze your nearest and dearest and when to go wider
- How to prove your worth and build your value in the eyes of donors
- The critical difference between intention and action
- How crowdfunding validates actions
- Keeping your community engaged
