    These are the slides from a talk I gave at the Sektor 3.0 Conference in Warsaw, Poland, on 30th May 2017 (http://sektor3-0.pl). They cover how crowdfunding can be used for good causes by the third sector, social enterprises and community groups, and give an overview of Nesta's work in the area. They then give examples of how collaborative models and platforms can be used by social-purpose organisations to operate better as organisations, save money and achieve goals more quickly. If you have any questions, please email matt.stokes@nesta.org.uk.
