What is a Microproject?

• A microproject is a one-time fundraising effort to help achieve a specific activity or outcome.

• Microprojects can either benefit specific people or an activity with a reasonably small amount of funding.

• All microprojects are connected to a “parent project”

• An average budget of $500, but can be between $250-10,000
