The portal and magazine Lisbon For People is launching an ambitious but necessary campaign for crowdfunding with the intention of raising 10 thousand euros. This amount ensures the continuity of the project until the end of the year, with the promise that until then other sources of funding will be found.
Created from scratch in 2021, the Lisboa Para Pessoas was born in a city in change with the will to assist in that changeoffering a space for information and reflection about the city - an independent, collaborative and convergent space, with no ulterior motives.
On Lisbon For Peopleare counted Stories and criticism about the city, organized Guides useful for those who want to live Lisbon in a different way, aggregated data and documentation that should be accessible in the Libraryand all of this is done in conjunction with a Community dynamic and motivated. In the first year of activity, Lisboa Para Pessoas published more than 500 stories and 50 guides, had half a million views and counts with a community of thousands of people in its several channels.
The campaign of crowdfunding from Lisboa Para Pessoas - promoted on the PPL platform - aims to give a basis of sustainability from which to work to make the project bigger and more professional. "Lisbon has already lost good projects in the past and it can't afford to lose another one. That's why this campaign is based on a very raw truth: I need money so I can keep doing Lisboa Para Pessoas. And nothing would make more sense than to start by asking for that support from those who follow the project and profit from it on a daily basis".writes Mário Rui André, founder and responsible for Lisboa Para Pessoas, in note accompanying the campaign.
"This crowdfunding is not the beginning, because over a year we have already proven to be a solid value in the media landscape in the city of Lisbon, but it is a unique opportunity to create stability for the project to take the leap. It assures my dedication to this platform, my commitment to make it grow and above all the idea that among ordinary people it is possible to create disruptive projects that contribute positively to the public space." The campaign will be on the air until the end of April.
