GOLDrush, the University of Iowa’s official crowdfunding platform, is seeking proposals from faculty, staff, and students for projects that support research, education or engagement and generally require no more than $10,000 in funding.

Interested groups should have a strong idea, a small team of people to help manage the campaign, and a “crowd” of friends, family, or other people who might be willing to contribute to their campaigns.

To submit an application, visit https://goldrush.uiowa.edu and click on the Apply tab.

GOLDrush is a partnership between the UI Center for Advancement and the Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development. For more information, contact Digital Fundraising Strategist at Theresa Jubert at theresa.jubert@foriowa.org.
