			<![CDATA[Crowd funding<br /><br />Greenbuilding.co.uk, owned by the AECB, promotes excellence in design and construction. This website, including the very popular Green Building Forum, was set up by Keith Hall, who co-founded the AECB back in 1989. Keith kindly donated the site to the AECB on his retirement in 2025. <br /><br />The Greenbuilding site is for everyone from industry professionals including architects, builders, developers to green enthusiasts and homeowners looking for information and a place to discuss all aspects of sustainable building. <br /><br />With the money that we hope to raise from this Crowdfunder we will be able to update the original website and forum, currently working using older technology that does not allow for necessary changes to the platform. With your support of a much-needed funding boost we will be able to invest in new technology that will bring the site into the 2020s. This will make it easier for visitors to navigate around the site and read the valuable information and resources we share, for those on their sustainable building journey. Users will also be able to sign up quicker and get involved in the conversations. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/dyR52gZn?utm_campaign=sharemodal&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=shortlink" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/dyR52gZn?utm_campaign=sharemodal&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=shortlink</a>]]>

			<![CDATA[I'm surprised that no-one has yet commented on this thread. Following the link provided I see that the target is £6500 but so far apparently only 3 people have donated (total to date = £230). <br /><br />I presume this is not a scam?]]>

			<![CDATA[This is not a scam but a genuine crowd funder for the new site and forum. Members expressed an interest in making donations toward the site when we (The AECB) took over. We decided the best way to allow this would be via a crowdfunding page.<br /><br />If you have any questions please feel free to email me, admin@greenbuilding.co.uk or call the AECB office number where I will be happy to discuss.<br /><br />Thank you all for your continued support of the forum.<br />The AECB]]>

			<![CDATA[I suppose it is entirely reasonable to expect Crowdfunder not to operate for free, but I was surprised to see that my proposed donation was inflated by a £5 "tip" (which does not go to AECB). You can select a "custom tip", but only down to 10% of your gift to AECB.<br /><br />I did 'comply', but thinking about it now, AECB, please may we have an address whereby you get 100% of our money?<br /><br />The total so far is £270.]]>

			<![CDATA[Ooh err...<br /><br />Making a payment via Crowdfunder appears to open an account for you with a 3rd party payment company, with no warning that I saw that this will happen. Attempts to contact a company apparently based in America have begun...<br /><br />AECB, please may we have direct payment details?]]>

We're delighted to tell you it was successful. The project team will be in touch shortly. ''<br /><br />I have followed the link again and see that the amount raised still stands at £281, out of a target of £6,500.]]>

			<![CDATA[Total is a smidge shy of £400. It didn't show the target until after (£6,500) - I think maybe people Wolff be more generous if that was visible?<br /><br />It is quite a steep target. I don't know if the target includes hosting costs, but if it does some hosts provide free hosting for Non-profits. <br /><br />Fingers crossed for a new forum.]]>
