Pozible is a crowdfunding platform for raising money and building a community for your projects.
Because Pozible is a platform open to projects of all shapes and sizes we do have some
general guidelines (and some non-negotiable rules) for running your crowdfunding
campaign. If you’re not sure if your project fits our guidelines or is suitable for
crowdfunding, start here.
Project Guidelines
Pozible projects must:
Be Project-BasedAll Pozible crowdfunding campaigns must be projects. That is, the campaign must have a
clearly defined outcome, timeframe and goal.
Usually, this is a creative outcome (e.g. a film, album, book, theatre production, exhibition,
residency, event, app or game build).
The project may also have:
- A community outcome (i.e. for a sporting club or community group)
- An environmental outcome (i.e. community garden, solar technology)
- An educational outcome (i.e. schools, kindergartens, neighbourhood housing)
- An innovative outcome (i.e. a start-up business, a new product, medical research or
technological advance)
Pozible used to be solely for creative stuff, but we noticed people using the flexibility of
crowdfunding in innovative ways for some awesome projects. Whatever your project goal,
explain clearly what your funds go towards, have a set target and say when you’ll do what.
Fit Into A Pozible CategoryProjects must fit a Pozible category - Art, Comics/Graphic Novels, Community, Design,
Event, Fashion, Film, Food, Game, Music, Journalism, Performance, Photography,
Technology, Video, Writing, Craft
Not Be For Charitable PurposesRaising funds or seeking donations for charity appeals or causes is specifically prohibited.
Charities and not-for-profit organisations with Deductible Gift Receipt (DGR) status may
use Pozible for fundraising IF the campaign is for a project with a definitive outcome and a
specific target - not a general charitable appeal.
If you have charitable status, you can offer tax-deductible receipts in return for pledges of
the same amount. Tax deductible pledges aren’t (usually) allowed to be offered along with
other rewards for a single pledge.
It’s your responsibility to ensure all receipts are correctly provided, and that you’re acting
within your tax laws. If you’re unsure, we recommend you speak to a tax adviser.
Prohibited Rewards or Projects
For legal reasons Pozible prohibits project creators from offering certain items as rewards,
including:
AlcoholYou can’t offer alcoholic beverages as rewards.
Sexually Explicit Material or OffersYou can’t offer sexually explicit material, conduct or services as rewards.
Financial RewardsYou can’t allow the selling of shares, provide direct financial rewards or profit sharing.
Raising investment funds or providing financial incentives is explicitly prohibited.
Raffles or Gaming PrizesYou can’t offer entries in raffles, competitions or other gambling services, stakes or odds
as rewards.
Illegal or Restricted ItemsYou can’t offer rewards including (but not limited to) illegal or restricted items such as
weapons, drugs or prescription medications. Please note: ANY project violating these
guidelines will not be approved and the listing removed. Please
contact us with any
questions.
Member Conduct

Posted comments and messages are viewable publicly; be mindful of this!
Obscene or unreasonable posts will be deleted. If necessary, members’ accounts can be

Requirements
AgeYou must be over 18 years of age to create a project on Pozible.
IdentificationYou must have a residential address, a contact phone number, bank account and an
internationally recognised form of photographic ID (i.e. passport, driver’s license). The

Promoting Your Project
Pozible users must observe copyright and intellectual property law. Project creators may not post copyright material without appropriate rights. Infringing material brought to our attention will be investigated.
Do everything you can to promote your project, but know no-one likes a spammer. Check before you hit ‘Send’ on a bulk mail to your supporters - it’s not just annoying, it could be illegal. Know your responsibilities within the laws for online marketing in your area.
Everyone must accept our Terms and Conditions of use and Privacy Policy. Violating these could lead to your account or project being suspended (while we sort it out with you) or even removed from the website.
