The Goal

GoodBomb helps solve 3 core problems in our communities.

1. Feeling Insignificant
Everyone has an issue they care about, but most people believe theres nothing they can do about it. The things that do the most good for us are often the things that are the most difficult to raise funds for. People dont have an easy way to get involved and help with the issues they care about.

2. Fundraising Difficulties

3. Barriers to Entry

3. Barriers to Entry

Problem 1 Feeling Insignificant

People often believe that the worlds problems are too big and that there is nothing they can do about them.

Solution 1 Do It Together

GoodBomb empowers people to better their world through do-ittogether collaborative projects.

Solution 1 Do It Together

Create, Connect, & Collaborate

1) Create a Project, describe the goal, and give it a location. 2) Your new project appears on a map for everyone in your local community to see. 3) Connect and collaborate with like-minded people in your neighbourhood.

Problem 2

2. Fundraising Difficulties

3. Barriers to Entry

Problem 2 Fundraising Difficulties

Ironically, the things we value most about community and culture are often the most underfunded.

Like our schools

Problem 2 Fundraising Difficulties

Solution 2 Community Crowd Funding

GoodBomb helps organizations raise money by enabling hyper-local crowd-funding within communities

Solution 2 Community Crowd Funding

1) Crowd-funding can enable people to easily find and contribute funds to projects that directly benefit their communities. 2) People can then pool their financial resources to make good things happen. 3) 100 contributors are more willing to part with $20 each than a single contributor is to part with $2000.

Problem 3 Barriers to Entry

Regular people who want to help often dont because they believe they have nothing to contribute.
61 per cent of the people we surveyed have little confidence that they have much to contribute to neighbourhood life.
