LEP Program

Website : <a href="http://www.storyfund.orgStoryfund">www.storyfund.orgStoryfund</a> is a crowdfunding platform that assists students with their education costs.The problem we address is that many students can not afford the education of their choice. In an environment where financial aid for education is declining, our platform provides an alternative for them to find financial support. On the donor side we provide a more personal and tangible experience. On our platform (think Kickstarter for Education), students create a campaign page, set a funding target and receive donations. We plan to change the way crowdfunding works through various means, the main concern that we address is fraud and security. We are bringing a more transparent transaction and relationship between donors and donees, by processing payments on behalf of donors to the institution the individual is crowdfunding for.Read more about how it works on our site.I targeted International students due to their high-cost of studying abroad, running campaigns on our Youtube channel and working with partners and companies to sponsor these students to come to Canada to study.After working with Universities in BC and realizing the space was crowded and the foundation was going to be tough to build - the project was shut down in February.
