Description[edit]
This Kickstarter is to help raise funds for a not-for-profit group, The Pay-It-Forward Project, run by Oscar Rodriguez. The group hosts tables at pen shows to give out fountain pen starter kits: a goodie bag with a fountain pen, a sample of ink, and a notebook. The ides is to give a friendly introduction into the stationery community, from children to adults.
For this Kickstarter, Pay-It-Forward collaborated to create a special 'Heart of Gold' line of products. The initial offering of products were memobooks printed by Story Supply Co., a limited edition ink by Papier Plume, and a limited run of 75, Franklin-Christoph Model 31 pens. The pens were turned from special acrylic material cast by Jonathan Brooks of Caroline Pen Company.[1]
The campaign surpassed the initial goal within the first 15 minutes, and by the end of day one had raised over $12,000.[2].
Two weeks into the campaign, it was revealed that custom, "Heart of Gold" branded pen cases by Rickshaw Bags in San Francisco were available as add-on products (and their own pledge tiers). The products included a single-pen sleeve, the Solo; the 3-pen case, Waldo; and the 6-pen roll case, Hemingway[3].
The campaign completed on March 1 with 280 backers and $21,429 pledged. That following weekend, the Pay-It-Forward project had an official table at the Baltimore-Washington International Pen Show, complete with special stickers for the show.[4]
