Submit a Project Idea!

PossiBull is a crowdfunding platform open to University of Buffalo alumni, faculty & staff who have a funding need that benefits the student experience. At this time, we are unable to crowdfund for student most groups directly.

Before submitting an application, please carefully review the FAQ page. Make sure that your project qualifies, your goal is realistic and that you and your team are willing to put in the time and effort to make your campaign a success.

If you have any questions about your eligibility, would like help setting a goal, have any questions, or need help framing your project for the application please reach out to Kaley Donaldson (kaleydon@buffalo.edu) in the Annual Giving office to set up a meeting.

What happens after I submit?

After you submit your application someone from our crowdfunding team will review your application within 3-4 business days. Once they review your application, if your project is accepted, they will reach out via email to set up a meeting to discuss your project in more detail and next steps.

*Please note that submitting this application does not guarantee that your project will be featured on PossiBull.

**If your group has previously completed a similar crowdfunding project, please reach out to Kaley Donaldson (kaleydon@buffalo.edu) before completing this for an abridged application.
