The first omnibus gathering financial support via crowdfunding
Cooperated project with Everesearch company
People’s Omnibus is not just a project of its creators but of every single participant as well, because it’s participants who ask questions. The tool allows to ask question, put a qustion into vote, add an option to an existing question or support the project by ordering the souvenires – T-shirt or printed version of the book with the results of the survey. There are also options for just curious people who are not ready to ask their own questions but would like to support the idea and see the results.
Besides there is an option to become a sponsor of the project by donating one thousand dollars or more. In this case the name and logo of the sponsor will be put on the first page of the book. Companies conducting market or social research are not allowed to enter as sponsor.
In case of project success 600 of Internet users from Russia registered in one of the biggest Russian on-line panels will be interviewed. All participants irrespectively of the size of donation will receive soft version of book with the results.

People’s Omnibus
The main idea of People’s Omnibus is to give everyone a chance to display curiosity and get answers on questions by the means of sociological research for a certain reward. The first topic for the research is Russia and its residents, their habits, interests and attitude toward different problems and events. As a platform for the project launch we chose Kickstarter, one of the most popular international web-sites allowing to implement a project based on crowdfunding. Just like on other similar platforms there is a rule – if the creators of the project receive previously defined sum – the project starts, if they fail to do so – raised money are given back to the donators.
