The project, called Operation ShareCraft, has only just launched and already has an army of gamers raising funds at a pace of $ 10,000 per day. With an array of stunts, videos and livestreams planned for the coming 100 days, it looks like they are well on pace to hit their donation target of $ 1 million. Already a remarkable achievement, since ShareCrafts participants are mostly students who have figured out a way to do fundraising on a level that normally requires the social and financial superpowers of Hollywood celebrities. By comparison, ShareCrafts army of gamers has raised in a single day for Save The Children what took Tony Robbins 3 weeks to raise for Kony 2012.
The trick is that ShareCraft is competitive. Gamers and participants who want to top the leaderboard can create their own personal sub-fundraiser with just a few clicks at OpShareCraft.com. The system creates a snowball-effect where donations to sub-fundraisers trigger donations to others as participants battle for higher rankings. Everyone can link to their own sub-fundraisers to involve friends, family, followers and fans. All these features are provided by Fundrazr.com, who unlocked the leaderboards specifically for ShareCraft (and will soon roll them out for everyone) when they were approached about the project by world-famous gaming and YouTube icon Chiren Boumaaza, aka Athene.
Having gamified online fundraising, ShareCraft hasnt even been announced for 24 hours yet and already has a vibrant community making videos, doing livestreams and organizing fundraisers to compete with each other on the leaderboard. If this becomes a trend, Athene says, it could change fundraising in ways similar to how Facebook and Twitter changed social networking.
