A great opportunity for all ALICT alumni: ITL offers a professional online platform to receive funding for your current or planned project.

Once your application for ITL GetFund 2025 has been granted, you will receive a URL (online link) for your project that you can distribute across your network to raise awareness, give credibility to your fundraising and most importantly – receive funding safely from across the world. Payouts to your account are done on agreed terms beforehand, e.g. once a target has been met or a deadline has been reached.

How the ITL GetFund crowdfunding platform works

ITL hosts a dedicated website for certain ALICT alumni projects in order to receive funding from donors. 

Alumni are to supply all content, contact details, updates, videos and images to be uploaded – with the help and guidance of the ITL Office team and according to the presented timeline. 

Once the content has been received and reviewed, adjustments have been made, it will be published online. Once published, a dedicated website page address (URL) will be supplied. This URL can be used anywhere in marketing campaigns, social media or any form of communication worldwide. 

Larger projects can be broken down into phases. 

It remains the responsibility of the project leader to get donors. ITL will not be responsible for finding funding or donors. This platform is purely to host your project and accept payments safely and professionaly. 

Once the predetermined donation target has been met, or if the deadline has been reached, the payment will be done to the project leader via the payment portal pre-selected. If no or very little money has been raised, a discussion with the ITL project team will take place to determine the next steps. 

A 15% charge fee will be deducted from the final payout amount. This is to cover hosting, bank, admin and service fees.
