24 Hour Citizen Project is a community-focused crowdfunding platform based in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. It evolved from Civicside, a community crowdfunding website launched in 2012, and transitioned in 2016 into an annual 24-hour in-person event format. Its core mission is to connect ordinary citizens with ideas for community improvement, industry experts, and philanthropic funders, driving citizen-led community projects from concept to reality.
The platform centers on a once-yearly 24-hour in-person event. On day one, participants receive guidance from experts, refine their project proposals, and prepare their pitches. On day two, they engage in project networking, deliver three-minute pitches, and funders select the projects that will receive financial backing—all set against a festive, community-driven atmosphere. The platform offers supporting services including project recruitment, progress tracking, event planning, and community outreach, and welcomes participation from five types of roles: project teams, audience members, experts, funders, and volunteers. It also showcases all previously realized community projects online.
On the plus side, the platform has a clear model with a strong focus on local philanthropic execution. The barrier to citizen participation is low, community engagement is lively, and donations qualify for tax deductions—making it well-suited to a wide range of local stakeholders. On the downside, its services are strictly limited to Lafayette, USA. Non-local users cannot participate at all, the online presence serves only as an information showcase without any remote online crowdfunding capability, and the operating team is small with limited scalability.
The website is currently accessible directly without issues, but it is open only to the local Lafayette community. Users in China can only browse to learn about the event model—there is no meaningful way to participate.
