What we’re aiming to provide professional-level humanitarian actors is an opportunity to separate their appeals from the mishmash of different 'charitable' campaigns out there and a platform they can own, improve and use as a developmental test-bed.
Crowdfunding is capable of reshaping the fundraising landscape impacting humanitarian operations. But there’s no incentive for popular platforms like Indiegogo to stake out and work with humanitarian actors to innovate humanitarian operational financing.
For example the humanitarian development community uses OECD CRS purpose codes to classify giving. It wouldn't take Indiegogo anything to bring standardized reporting in use across the humanitarian community down to the crowdfunding level but there's no incentive to even learn what these codes are or how they're useful.

Could you explain what BeehiveFund offers over existing resources, such as Indiegogo?
