What is crowdfunding in the form of donation? ■ Crowdfunding through donation Crowdfunding in the form of donation involves offering a sum of money for the development or creation of a project without consideration or for a symbolic reward. This form of financing can only be offered by a crowdfunding intermediary (IFP) who must be registered with the Organisme pour le registre des intermédiaires en assurance, banque et finance (ORIAS). Its role is to connect donors and project leaders. ■ Crowdfunding for associations or local authorities An association (Red Cross, etc.) launches a project to create a new structure, or a local authority (Region, Department, Municipality) requests funds for a solidarity, cultural, educational, heritage or other project (school canteen, energy renovation, acquisition of works of art, etc.).
