# Technique T0039: Prepare fundraising campaigns * **Summary**: Fundraising campaigns refer to an influence operation’s systematic effort to seek financial support for a charity, cause, or other enterprise using online activities that further promote operation information pathways while raising a profit. Many influence operations have engaged in crowdfunding services on platforms including Tipee, Patreon, and GoFundMe. An operation may use its previously prepared fundraising campaigns (see: Develop Information Pathways) to promote operation messaging while raising money to support its activities. * **Belongs to tactic stage**: TA06 | Incident | Descriptions given for this incident | | -------- | -------------------- | | [I00006 Columbian Chemicals](../generated_pages/incidents/I00006.md) | bait journalists/media/politicians | | [I00010 ParklandTeens](../generated_pages/incidents/I00010.md) | journalist/media baiting | | [I00015 ConcordDiscovery](../generated_pages/incidents/I00015.md) | journalist/media baiting | | Counters | Response types | | -------- | -------------- | | [C00009 Educate high profile influencers on best practices](../generated_pages/counters/C00009.md) | D02 | | [C00027 Create culture of civility](../generated_pages/counters/C00027.md) | D07 | | [C00046 Marginalise and discredit extremist groups](../generated_pages/counters/C00046.md) | D04 | | [C00072 Remove non-relevant content from special interest groups - not recommended](../generated_pages/counters/C00072.md) | D02 | | [C00073 Inoculate populations through media literacy training](../generated_pages/counters/C00073.md) | D02 | | [C00076 Prohibit images in political discourse channels](../generated_pages/counters/C00076.md) | D02 | | [C00087 Make more noise than the disinformation](../generated_pages/counters/C00087.md) | D04 | | [C00092 Establish a truth teller reputation score for influencers](../generated_pages/counters/C00092.md) | D07 | | [C00093 Influencer code of conduct](../generated_pages/counters/C00093.md) | D07 | | [C00114 Don't engage with payloads](../generated_pages/counters/C00114.md) | D02 | | [C00154 Ask media not to report false information](../generated_pages/counters/C00154.md) | D02 | | [C00160 find and train influencers](../generated_pages/counters/C00160.md) | D02 | | [C00162 Unravel/target the Potemkin villages](../generated_pages/counters/C00162.md) | D03 | | [C00169 develop a creative content hub](../generated_pages/counters/C00169.md) | D03 | | [C00184 Media exposure](../generated_pages/counters/C00184.md) | D04 | | [C00188 Newsroom/Journalist training to counter influence moves](../generated_pages/counters/C00188.md) | D03 | | [C00203 Stop offering press credentials to propaganda outlets](../generated_pages/counters/C00203.md) | D03 | DO NOT EDIT ABOVE THIS LINE - PLEASE ADD NOTES BELOW
