Case Study: EarthRights International achieves $24,532 in crowdfunding with CauseVox

EarthRights International Raised Over $20,000

EarthRights International (ERI) is a nonprofit that defends human and environmental rights against powerful corporate abuses. To move the fight beyond the courtroom and into the court of public opinion, ERI needed to fund a short-film series and training curricula that would amplify survivors’ voices and equip grassroots lawyers and activists — but relying on large foundation grants didn’t fit the campaign’s “people-powered” aim.

ERI launched a CauseVox crowdfunding campaign with customizable, peer-to-peer fundraiser pages and playful incentives (karaoke, birthday asks). Ten fundraisers mobilized 192 donors and raised $24,532 — surpassing the $20K target and providing a cushion for production — enabling the films and curricula, strengthening legal training in the Mekong region, and proving a replicable, supporter-driven model they’ll refine for future campaigns.
