Kickstarter not interested in your Christian project



Kickstarter not interested in your Christian project.

 I have done a few projects with Kickstarter all basically the same thing just trying to raise funds for a small tour, but this time I thought I would mention that all my shows would be "FREE" with a food and non-perishable item since my music is all about feeding people either by word of by food.

 "The creative element — the show itself — is indeed acceptable.
But promising to collect and donate food falls outside of our scope." "cause-based funding are not permitted".

Kickstarter Collecting food was not part of the deal but a part of the show (outside of Kickstarters concern). Each person that donates money receives the "reword promised" (like a CD, or mention in the DVD and so on) this is how kickstarter and indiegogo work and gifts listed meet the guidelines. I asked "What if I charge $1.50 a ticket, would that work?" Or "what if I charged $30.00 a ticket and then gave all the money to charity?"

I have not received a response back, But since what people charge outside of Kickstarter is none of their business it is showing those who try to do the right thing are not welcomed. I think many bands that raise money end up giving away the music anyway; this is just how the industry is working today. For me it all boils down to the fact that I was trying to do what many that call themselves Christians do not do.
