The biggest role in determining the amount of the financial contribution is played by the financial space that someone has. For 62% of the respondents this is important to very important. For about 13% this plays a small to very small role. The pressure that one might feel when seeing the contributions of others seems small.
Financial contribution
Reasons for not contributing to projects
A large proportion of respondents who did not contribute to a campaign indicate that they do not have the financial means to contribute or have not come across an interesting project. However, there is also a relatively high percentage (13%) who indicated that they were too late to contribute, because the campaign had already ended. In addition, there is also a group of respondents (12%) for whom it was too cumbersome to contribute via the website or platform. The last point is a call to existing platforms to simplify the use of their website.
It is also interesting to see that only 7% do not trust this way of financing. This means that there is a lot of trust in this way of financing.
Reasons not to contribute

It is striking that Kickstarter (the best-known platform) is not a Dutch, but an American platform for creative projects and that Sellaband (the first international crowdfunding platform) .
