Conditions to be met during the campaign

To remain eligible for an Additional Funding contribution, certain conditions must be met throughout your campaign.

These requirements govern fundraising practices, accepted types of contributions, and minimum thresholds to ensure that projects align with the principles of crowdfunding.

You must:

• Reach or exceed your campaign goal through meaningful financial contributions (more than $10). Any situation deemed abusive by La Ruche may be reported and removed.
  
  
• Maintain a minimum reward value of $10 or more.
  
  
• Receive a contribution from at least one (1) business during the campaign.
  
  
• Reach the required number of contributors:
  
• 50 contributors for campaigns of $25,000 or less
  
• 100 contributors for campaigns between $25,001 and $50,000
  
• 150 contributors for campaigns between $50,001 and $80,000
• 200 contributors for campaigns of $80,001 or more
  
  
• Respecting the Spirit of Crowdfunding to ensure a genuine community-driven campaign:
• The Beneficiary and its representatives cannot contribute to their own campaign. However, representatives may contribute if the project is led by a non-profit organization or a cooperative.
  
• The combined value of major contributions, representing between 5% and 20% of the campaign goal, cannot exceed 80% of the total campaign goal.
  
• An individual contributor cannot contribute more than 20% of the campaign goal.
  
• The total amount of contributions originating from public funds, such as discretionary grants from elected officials or government credits, cannot exceed 20% of the campaign goal. Some Funds may have specific rules. For example, the Fonds Mille et UN does not allow this type of support. Please refer to your funding agreement to confirm the rules that apply to your project.
