Dear members of the advisory board, <br>
<br>
The preparations for the Degrowth-Conference are running now in full
swing. To meet our costs, we are preparing for a so-called <b>crowdfunding</b>
at the moment. Crowdfunding means that we will launch an online
campaign to convince many small backers — the "crowd" — to fund a
certain project (in our case, the Degrowth Conference). The backers
essentially give money to support our conference and will receive in
exchange something to say "thank you", a so called "gooding". In
order for this crowdfunding campaign to be successful, we would like
to ask for your support. <br>
<br>
To our mind, a popular kind of gooding would be autographed books
from you as respected authors within the Degrowth community. <b>Hence,
we would really appreciate if you could provide us with some
autographed copies of your recent books (say, released in 2004 or
later) for free</b>. The decision of course is completely up to –
every book you donate to us will help to attract additional backers.
In case you are willing to do so, please contact
<a href="mailto:crowdfunding@degrowth.de" target="_blank">crowdfunding@degrowth.de</a> until 31st of May. <br>
<br>
Of course, other things or deeds would present suitable goodings as
well; we are happy about any further recommendation you will make to
us. <br>
<br>
Postal address: <br>
Konzeptwerk Neue Ökonomie e.V. <br>
Klingenstr. 22 <br>
04229 Leipzig<br>
Germany<br>
<br>
Handing over goodings at the conference is possible, too. But in any
case, we would need a notification about it until end of May. <br>
<br>
Many thanks in advance and best regards from Leipzig,<br>
<br>
