Information

Nutribute is a fundraising tool for measures that reduce eutrophication.Nutribute_logoA_vertical_cmyk_265 At www.nutribute.org, you can create a crowdfunding page online and promote it to as many people as you can. Nutribute will collect and transfer the funds to you. You’ll then implement your project and follow up with your supporters to show them what you have spent the money on. In other words, Nutribute is an online site where organisations and individuals can present their activities and suggest measures for voluntary financiers. There is only one prerequisite – the measures need to result in tangible reductions in nutrient loading or achieve measurable removal of nutrients from the sea. Anyone can then have a look at the available measures and make donations to the activities they find worth supporting. In crowdfunding, the idea is to raise funds from a large group of people, so even small contributions can make a change. Nutribute has been developed by John Nurminen Foundation in EUSBSR flagship project NutriTrade. NutriTrade is financed by Interreg Central Baltic programme. By complementing existing financial mechanisms with Nutribute, project NutriTrade hopes to boost activities that benefit the Baltic Sea. The project also challenges consumers and organisations to neutralize their nutrient footprints by supporting a measure with a sum that delivers a corresponding reduction in nutrient loading.
