This spring, as well as completing our flagship campaign #GOMujeres, we also ran the second edition of #LenguasVivas, a campaign focussed on the revitalizaci\u00f3n of indigenous languages in Chiapas and the Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The results were eye-catching: during April 2024, eleven nonprofits and grassroots initiatives raised over $20,590 USD in direct contributions from 390 different individuals, mostly in their communities. When combined with the matching funds and other unique incentives as part of the campaign design by HIPGive, with the generous support of Kellogg Foundation, they will receive over $86,987 USD in total to invest in projects such as:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n $1,870 USD and 35 individual donors, on average, might not sound like an overwhelming success. However, context matters.\u00a0 Four of the participating groups are 100% grassroots initiative and a further two are nonprofits on paper, but operate at local community level. For such leaders, working tirelessly in their local community on shoestring budgets and often obtained by self-financing, these amounts are transformative, even before the additional funds unlocked in matching funds and incentives. As Didier Chan, leader of Lengua y Cultura Maya Yucateca, pointed out, “It\u2019s difficult to receive donations when we\u2019re not a registered nonprofit. This is why #LenguasVivas is valuable: it makes it easier for us to mobilize support for our projects and move forward, so that our languages and culture stay strong<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Even for the other small but consolidated organizations, the impact of #LenguasVivas has been profound. Flor de Jes\u00fas from the Centro de Derechos de las Mujeres in Chiapas described their campaign as, “Creating a new experience from the unknown, striving to make the dreams and goals of communities visible, and forming a large family through donations<\/em>.”<\/span><\/p>\n Combined with its first edition in 2023, #LenguasVivas campaign proves that crowdfunding is both a practical and effective fundraising strategy that levels the playing field: talented, passionate grassroots leaders are reaping enormous benefits not only in terms of funding, but in community building, skills and confidence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, it\u2019s worth asking, then, what is the secret to this success? As crowdfunding has proliferated in recent years, so too have the theories questioning, indeed undermining, its role as part of nonprofits’ broader fundraising strategies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From our perspective at HIPGive, it\u2019s clear that the devil is in the design.

Yet, if #LenguasVivas shows us anything, it\u2019s that with the right support, encouragement and a well-aligned incentives, even the smallest of community initiatives can achieve their goals and grow their community of support.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Thank you to our allies in #LenguasVivas\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n #LenguasVivas was made possible thanks to the generous support of WKKF Foundation, to whom we owe our thanks.

Cuando se dise\u00f1\u00f3 esta campa\u00f1a en HIPGive, se decidi\u00f3 combinar los fondos de contrapartida y otros incentivos \u00fanicos.

Para estas personas, quienes trabajan incansablemente con presupuestos ajustados y autofinanciamiento, estas cantidades son transformadoras, incluso antes de sumarlos fondos de contrapartida e incentivos. Didier Chan, l\u00edder de Lengua y Cultura Maya Yucateca, se\u00f1al\u00f3: \"Es dif\u00edcil recibir donaciones cuando no tenemos una figura legal. <\/em><\/span>De ah\u00ed el valor de campa\u00f1as como #LenguasVivas, que nos facilita el camino para nutrir nuestros proyectos y avanzar, no podemos dejar que nuestras lenguas y nuestra cultura se debiliten.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Incluso para\u00a0 otras organizaciones m\u00e1s consolidadas, el impacto de #LenguasVivas ha sido profundo.
