The Millennial Trains Project (MTP)
MTP is an award-winning series of crowdfunded transcontinental train journeys for young innovators to explore America’s new frontiers. This an officially-approved campaign for MTP's August 2016 journey.
To get on board, applicants design a project to advance across the communities where our train stops and then race to be among the first 20 applicants to reach their $5k crowdfunding goal. All funds raised will go to MTP, which is a 501(c)3 organization to cover cost of train. If I am not among the first 20 applicants to reach their crowdfunding goal, none of my supporters will be charged for their pledged donations.
