In an effort to empower our backers and encourage informed decisions on Indiegogo, we’re proud to highlight the Trust Proven Program, a Trust & Safety team initiative that spotlights campaigners who have a demonstrated history of fulfilling campaigns on Indiegogo.
Our Trust & Safety team reviews the histories of campaigners who have launched multiple recent campaigns on our platform, and will award the Trust Proven Badge to repeat campaigners who meet our criteria for the Trust Proven Program.
How does the Trust-Proven Program work?
Our Trust and Safety team reviews campaigners who have launched multiple recent campaigns on our platform, and evaluates their history to determine if they have a demonstrated track record of consistent fulfillment, a high level of campaign management, and an overall positive backer sentiment. We want to highlight experienced campaigners to our backer community so that they can make informed decisions when supporting projects that they are passionate about!
What criteria must a campaigner meet in order to be considered for the Trust Proven Program?
Campaigners must meet the following criteria in order to be considered for the Trust Proven Program by our Trust & Safety team:
- Campaigners must have launched at least 2 campaigns within the set timeframe for their category (within the past 3 years for the Tech & Innovation category, within the past 5 years for all other categories).
- Past campaigns must be originally launched on Indiegogo.
- Campaigners’ recent campaigns must have a proven track record of consistent fulfillment.
- Campaigners must demonstrate a high level of campaign management.
- Campaigners’ past campaigns must reflect an overall positive backer sentiment.
What does the Trust Proven Badge mean?
The Trust Proven Badge is publicly visible to everyone in our community, making it easier to identify campaigners with a proven track record of fulfillment history and campaign management on Indiegogo.
How do campaigners receive a Trust Proven Badge?
Our Trust and Safety team currently reviews campaigners who have launched recent multiple fulfilled campaigns on our platform. Campaigners must meet our criteria by having a demonstrated track record of consistent fulfillment, a high level of campaign management, and overall positive backer sentiment. If you are interested in the Trust Proven Program, feel free to reach out to your Indiegogo contact for further details or send an email to our team at support@indiegogo.com.
Campaigners should be aware that building confidence in their campaigns can take time. If they are able to show consistent fulfillment, a high level of campaign management, and positive backer sentiment then we are happy to re-review them in the future for the Trust Proven Program if they did not qualify in the past. Our Trust & Safety team will not review a campaigner for the Proven Program more than once per Quarter. Please note that Indiegogo reserves the right to award and rescind the Trust Proven badge at our sole discretion.
