Backpacks for Life Shifts Gears on Kickstarter Campaign
Jack Kemp
I previously told our readers about Backpacks for Life's
Kickstarter campaign to raise money to manufacture their new
patent-pending backpacks. In fact the Kickstarter campaign will end very shortly, within a day or two, instead of thirty-five days.
So
what happens to those people that pledged money on Kickstarter ? This is
obviously an important question for both those that pledged and also of interest to many of those that did not. Looking at Kickstarter's website, I found this policy:
BEGIN QUOTE
Why is funding all-or-nothing?
All-or-nothing funding means that
no one will be charged for a pledge towards a project unless it reaches
its funding goal. This way, creators always have the budget they scoped
out before moving forward.
END QUOTE
The Backpacks for Life website describes the changing campaign situation in this way:
BEGIN QUOTE
We have been working tirelessly to ensure our initiative is a success. With a great response to the backpack and a surge in press coverage,
we've been contacted by an influx of veterans in need. Above all else,
Backpacks For Life strives to provide them the very best assistance.
Extending
the life of our campaign past 35 days (what it was on the Kickstarter)
allows us to serve our veterans while continuing to put our all into The
Bowery Pack.
We've decided to simplify things. Having The Bowery Pack campaign directly on our website provides a one-stop-shop to donate a pack, buy a pack or leave a tribute message in honor of a veteran in your life!
With
your contributions we will be able to manufacture backpacks, distribute
thousands to homeless veterans, and provide veterans with meaningful
jobs and transferable skills that help them assimilate back into their
civilian lives.
