Inspired by sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, CobbersGive is a new way to fund specific campus and student-led projects.

By providing a platform to seek funding for a product or service, the crowdfunding model has made small-time venture capitalists out of millions. ×ö°®ÊÓƵ and Concordia Language Villages are putting this system to work, giving donors the freedom to put their money where their heart is.

When a project is funded or its time runs out, it gets replaced by a new project.

Current projects include:

• The creation of a defiant garden operated in partnership with the city of Moorhead, Moorhead Public Service and the Plains Art Museum

• A brick oven used to bake authentic foods at CLV’s Lac du Bois Language Village

• New timpani drums for Concordia ensembles

• Upgrades that would greatly expand the growing season of Concordia’s organic garden
