This let’s the creator give content away for free (or keep exclusive content for the Patreons) and not have to mess with advertising or other means of funding their activities. This could be every week or month, or alternatively it could be every X number of new creations that the creator puts out (for a practical example every 10 songs a musician puts out). That’s where Pateron comes in, instead of donating money once, Pateron lets you give money at regular intervals. Many musician, film directors and artists have used services like this to fund their next creative project, but it doesn’t work as well for ongoing creative projects like podcasts, blogs, YouTubers or even missionaries. This is a great way to test demand for ideas and help people with ideas which would probably never get a loan to help create. People who make the campaigns can also offer different forms of rewards for people who donate different amounts of funds at the start. If you aren’t familiar with Kickstarter and similar crowdfunding sites like Indiegogo, the basic premise is that if there is a project you want to do, but need funds to help do it, you put up a campaign and people can donate money to help you reach that financial goal and achieve your project goal. The basic idea of Patreon is it is a kind of continuous Kickstarter. Patreon was founded in by Jack Conte and Samuel Yam.
We’re going to look at that service as well as some stories of people who are using Patreon, so as to help you work out if this service would be appropriate for you, your church. With that in mind, it is interesting that a service called Patreon has come along aimed at helping support people who are creating creative works. I’m not going to discuss the merits or demerits of these different systems, but I’m willing to bet that most ministries you know focus on one of the first two forms. Support from a single wealthy supporter (a patron).Donations from friends/support groups, not local.Instead he pointed out several different forms of funding that have been used by Christians throughout time. He pointed out that you don’t have to go into ministry to be a disciple or serve God (I know, it’s obvious to me now but it was a revolution at the time) and that even if you do work for or have a specific ministry, you don’t have to fund it via tithing or raising funds like many traditional missionaries and ministries. When I had just left university I had a discussion with my old youth pastor about Christianity, ministry and different forms of funding.
