Talentbacker . New funding organisation for the Arts/Sports.

I just came across this now,via Twitter. It is a UK based company, that i get the impression works along the same lines as Kiva,in that individuals can donate to a worthy cause,by picking one or several of the ones highlighted.It`s called Talentbacker,and individuals can apply for funding to complete their training,etc. The downside of course,is you rely on the goodwill of individuals to fund your project,and i think there is a limited time frame. Just thought it might be of interest to those who need a bit of help with funding .Go to www.talentbacker.co.uk

Though UK-based, I believe their address is http://www.talentbacker.com (not .co.uk). This and other crowdfunding sites can be a good way to obtain funding simply from multiple sources, but it's important to read their terms and plan campaigns carefully e.g. Talentbacker's campaigns can be a maximum of 28 days, and if your target isn't reached within that time, you don't receive any of the donations (and the backers are not billed).
